Sounds as though you might have your period – congratulations! \n\nYou might want to talk to your mother or another adult they should be able to help you out – although it is important you learn all you can about your body yourself. An adult should also be able to help you celebrate your first period, like a shopping trip, nice meal, sleep over, or whatever you might be into. \n\nThe most important thing you will ever learn about your periods;\n\nPeriods are only as a good or as bad as you make them!\n\nThe more you know the better they are, for example those pains aren't a necessary part of having periods. There are a lot of things you can do to prevent them, but for the time being I highly recommend drinking Raspberry Leaf Tea and rubbing a little Clary Sage on your belly. It's nothing to be worried about, we all get our periods sooner or later and there is nothing to fear, it's a good thing once you know all about it, promise.

your first can happen anytime between ages 10-16 so dont worry too much if you dont have it yet. the cramps you mentioned could be a sign that youll be getting it sometime in the year. i got mine when i was 10 and i had cramps when i was about 9 and a half and then i got my first period and it all settled down for the most part. it may be the same with you but if you are really worried then speak to your mother , she should know best , and if your still worried ask to see a doctor and if they think its bad enough theyll put you either on the pill or hormone thereapy , something to those effects. hope this helps :) .

boy do I have a story for you!  I once had my period for 23 day straight.  I first went to my normal doctor and she did absolutely nothing.  No tests were run or anything.   I then went to the gyno hoping for an answer.  He preceeded to tell me that it was because I was fat and that the fat cells give off more estrogen and that can prolong your period.  I went home crying still not knowing exactly what to do about the problem.

Or you could go to a Chiropractor.  They are known for helping women get through their cycle with minimal amounts of pain, bloating, etc.  No meds and you allow your body to do what it has to do to stay healthy.\n\nHaving a period is like a tree that loses it leaves in the fall.  The leaves come back eventually.  Nature deems it necessary.  Trees don't say to other trees, how do keep my leaves all winter long?  Nature deems you have a period once a month, you should get it once a month.  \n\nNot to say it doesn't hurt, but don't eliminate it.  There is plenty you can do to make it easier on you without taking meds or screwing with your physiology.  When you start screwing with your physiology worse things will happen than having a period once a month.\n\nAgain, see a Chiropractor, email me and i'll help you find a good one.  I known good Chiros all over the world, I am one.

My advice to you is to check with a gynae. This might be a cause of early monopause or something is wrong in you abdomen. I had a problem with my abdominen and abnormal periods, period pains that made me to scream. Then I rushed to a GP the maedicine worked for that time and next month back to where I was and even worse. I suspected cervical cancer. I then went to see a Gynaecologist and he did all the scans to see what was wrong. Fortunately it was not what I suspected but some kind of an infection. He gave me some ant-biotics and upto this day I am fine. Good Luck and make sure you do as he/she tells you there might be a cure.

Its your hormones its not just you and it gets worst with age, the pill can lesson the length of your period but the sickness and eating will stay the same.

I have a friend who has the same problem but she gets it everytime she has her period. The only thing i can think of is to get on birth control. They will make you regular and reduce pain. Ask your doctor about it I am sure he/she will help.

It's all thanks to those hormones that cause PMS and all that other fun stuff. It's completely normal, nothing to worry about. Just take it with a grain of salt and deal with it just like you deal with your period. If it bothers you too much, take a pain reliever.

theres really nothing to be scared of darlin! the worst that will happen is, you`ll see some blood in your knickers and you may feel uncomfortable for a few days.  also, talk to your friends about how it feels! Hot water bottles are great for releif of period pain, ie back ache or tummy ache. i reccomend carrying a sanitary towel around with you. it will save embarassment later! trust me! your body may give you a few hints when your period is due. you may feel weepy, grouchy, tired. your breasts may also feel a little tender. don`t worry! Everything will be fine!

Getting your period is your bodies way of getting rid of placenta that was never used to carry a child.  The pain you are experiencing (they say but I dont believe them) is your bodies way of preparing you for child birth.  If you are that uncomfortable, I would talk to your doctor because you could have endometriosis.  I had that and had to have a hysterectomy.  I couldnt stand the pain and got just as sick if not sicker than you.  I truly feel for you.  Talk to your doctor and have him run the tests.  Get things ruled out.  I will keep you in my prayers.  I really feel for you.

Congratulations! First off, is your mom around or do you have a female adult to  talk to? If not, feel free to IM me (I'm invisible on Yahoo Messenger). \nSince this is your first one, it probably won't last long. If you are cramping or feel sick, take it easy. Rest a lot and take a hot bath. You might want to take some ibuprofen. If you feel okay, do what you normally do during the day. Definitely let your parents know what is going on so they can help you out. Don't be embarassed. This happens to all girls around your age. You might want to have your parents make an appointment with your doctor to make sure everything is okay. If you don't feel comfortable trying to deal with tampons, pads are a great alternative. I find the Kotex brand long ones with velcro wings to work best. Don't expect your period to be "regular" or happen every month for another year or so. If you get really bad cramping or feel sick to your stomach every month at that time of the month, it's time to see the doctor. Don't be afraid. You will get used to it;)

when i get my period, i put my life on hold too, i have HORRIABLE cramps!!!!! i wouldnt want to go to school either, i still cant totally get rid of the pain but i usually use a heating pad, or those menstal heat sticker things and take a BUNCH of midol or whatever ! thats all i really know i never knew that the docters gave you stuff for it i'd continually go back untill they give yousdomthing that works. and are you on birth control maybe you should try something liek the depo shot where you dont get your period at all,  but if youve never been on it before it takes a while for your body to adjust and get on the regular depo cycle but i hope i helped some what

woman weren't built to have periods every month and it does not harm them to go without them... my girlfriend is allergic to seasonal so she takes Yasmin continuously and cannot have periods due to the pain and other symptoms of endometriosis... it is perfectly fine for her and actually has benefits like not losing iron and can reduce risks of some cancer, anyways as for the swallowing pills thing, she can try putting it in peanut butter or something crunchy that she doesnt mind swallowing, or what I do is moisten the pill in my mouth and then dry swallow it and then drink a lot of water but if I try to take it normally i freak out, also with the pills try to avoid pills with gel caps because they can have side effects (heartburn), esp for people who dont take pills well

It is more then normal I used to have the same problem. I Was told from my Aunt that its your body getting you ready for the real pain during child birth the same pain you feel is less but around the same lines though. Well I learned over time that doing sit-ups even in bed or crunches works for the pain the muscles in your belly need to contract and release from time to time if it hurts worse then just do one or two then wait then a few more then wait over time your body gets used to the movement. It took me about 6 months but everyone is different. So do what you can bend over walk a bit give it time. If you feel very concerned then talk to someone near you and adult you trust enough to talk to. Then see if you should see your doctor. You can learn more if you write down all your questions so nothing is left out and the doctor can teach you things that you never learned in School.
