Am I the only teen girl that get period cramps so bad that I have to curl up for hours on end and then when I take medicine it doesn’t work? Please say I’m not the only one.

I have definitely heard that that can happen to people, but it doesn't happen to me. At least not yet 😐 . I haven't had mine for that long.

Sometimes medicicine doesn’t work for me either.
So then I lay down and use a rice bag.

Youre not the only one, i have really severe cramps, no lie it feels like someone is stabbing me with a red hot knife. Usually what i do is take some medicine, an ice pack, and lie down trying to go to sleep. 😢

Every girl is different. For cramps lay down on your left side and bring your knees up to your chest, maybe take some Tylenol. or something. But laying on my left side typically helps. If you have a heating pad or something, that also makes everything feel better.

@Idkkkkk @madebyJ you might want to check in with your doctor, because it could be nothing bad, or something like low-iron and stuff. so maybe let it be checked (:

I get terrible cramps too! Especially before, which honestly makes no sense but that what my body does. Then again I did recently start so my body is still getting used to things. laying on the floor helps and sometimes I’ll put a heating pad on my stomach to help.

Hi! im non-binary but I still have periods 🙂

I've been told that "pain exceeding what ibuprofen can help needs to be checked out" because it isn't healthy to be in that much pain

I found this out through personal experience!

I use to have periods so bad that i would be left sitting on the toilet for hours at a time, leaning over the side of the tub and throwing up in it because of the pain. an overnight pad that was supposed to last 12 hours lasted me 2, and i still had spillage. I would cry all the time because of my pain and would camp out in the bathroom overnight because of how sick I was, and my periods lasted 8-9 days. I would lose up to 10 pounds every period because i would refuse to eat and i would bleed so much.

Turns out my body was rejecting my uterus

i went to my primary to see what we could do to help and she freaked out!! sent me to a gyno. gyno did some tests, i even stayed overnight at the hospital for a study (kinda like a sleep study? but for my period?) and turns out that instead of only removing the lining of the uterus like a normal period my body looked at what was happening and said "no baby? then whats this for???" and REJECTED IT and tried to remove the whole thing.

my body literally REJECTED an ORGAN but when i was at school no one believed me and told me everyone goes through that. thats not normal??? at all??? people really need to be educated smh

@Scavenged that's crazy. I hope you're doing okay now, that sounds super scary!! and I agree, better education is really really needed. I don't understand why anyone would say that's normal?? like if you knew what a period was you wouldn't say that's normal?? again I really hope you're doing better!!

this might be the weirdest tip you had yet lol
so when im on my period and i shower, i sit in the shower with the water landing on my lower-stomach
idk why it really helps sometimes



also does anyone know what to do against the cramps in your legs, back and pretty much everywhere?? because a heat pack doesnt work on those places for me

@HelloooIts i had pretty bad cramps before my period just said “nope” and left for 5 months. Still haven’t gotten it yet. Anyways. I had bad cramps and i used to take an old soda bottle or water bottle. The bigger, the better. And then i filled it with very hot water all the way to the top. And then i used to lay on my stomach while the hard soda bottle pressed against my stomach. That helped me a little bit. You can do the same on your back. Lay in the hot bottle with your back. Laying in fetus position may help the pain too. Also, i struggle a lot with my stomach. My stomach is in PAIN after every little thing i eat and everything comes out again (getting it checked soon). This isn’t period cramps doe, but i heard it can help with that too. Take 3 fingers and place them right under you belly button. And then you massage with the 3 fingers under your belly button. It may take some time to feel any effect. But sometimes it doesn’t take time. Just massage there until the pain is gone or you feel like it’s enough : )
