Girl trouble :/ (Girls only!)

All of the above remedies sound good, and I'll add one of my own. When I get them really bad, I'll switch out from a tampon to a pad. For whatever reason, when a heating pad/advil won't work, that will.

Heating pad works best for me! i miss months at a time & they make up for the 1s i miss.

I used to miss months at a time til I found out I was on the verge of ovarian cancer... GET CHECKED OUT and you're 3x more likely to develop the cancer if you're overweight

Another trick of mine is I take birthcontrol... it makes it all light and normal

For me, exercise is the only thing that really works.. that and midol.

Tears, complaining, chocolate, and midol.

Just kidding. I prefer ibuprofin to midol.

Same! I was on Yaz for the longest time, and had 3 day periods with NO cramps at all! But I had to switch to this new one called Loloestrin, and let's just say that I've been cramping for almost 3 days STRAIGHT now. sdflskfhskjhflkshf
Anyways, a heating pad or a warm hand always helps my stupid uterus calm down. Can't wait to get it scooped out..:grumble:

Thanks for the ideas everyone! Ive heard working out helps as well but I workout in the morning so they tend to get worse through out the day. I will deff try some of these Ideas!!

I relieve mine with stretching and walking a mile!

I usually take an extra strength advil. But I usually eat a banana, and it really does the trick. You can also try stretching or working out, it can ease the pain. (:

Advil and/or exercise works for me!

i try to do hardcore work out weeks before my period comes...targeting the abs...other months...i lie very very very still with a hot water bag...and lots of iboprofen..wishing for morphine (i don't know how to spell it :ohwell: ) other times i just want to crawl in a hole and have someone shoot me (:frown: ) becuz nothing helps... trial and error i guess...some times it works other times my body takes revenge

mnerfariousl

oh and low dose birth control did help me...but i stopped taking them...didnt wanna be taking so many pills...etc etc

DancingYogini

Yoga helps me. That and a warm bath!

Just don't do any inversions!! (like a head/handstand)....bad for the body when you have your period!!

momof8munchkins

excercise -walking, taking a B-complex and evening primrose oil helps me a lot and well, sex:blushing: -orgasm relieves cramps.. there are also 2 teas that my oldest daughter swears by.. they don't do much for me. both by Yogi- women's energy and moon cycle. if all else fails then go for ibuprofin and chocolate!

lilRicki

a hot pad and tea

JennLifts
