The period itself doesn't really have any feeling, but discomfort does usually accompany it. Usually you'll get cramps, bloating, and maybe some back or head pain. Just take a pain reliever such as Advil or Tylenol.

PMS.\n\n"What is premenstrual syndrome (PMS)?\nUp to 85% of women normally have one or more troubling physical and emotional symptoms between the time they ovulate and the first days of their menstrual period.1 These are called premenstrual symptoms. When premenstrual symptoms interfere with your relationships or responsibilities, they are called premenstrual syndrome (PMS). \n\nWhile some women first have PMS in their teens or 20s, others don't until their 30s. PMS can come and go during your reproductive years; you may find that your symptoms worsen as you approach perimenopause, in your late 30s or 40s.\n\nPMS occurs only in women who ovulate during their monthly menstrual cycle. Women who do not ovulate—because of pregnancy, menopause, or taking birth control pills—do not have PMS symptoms. However, many do have similar hormone-related symptoms. \n\nWhat causes PMS?\nPMS is linked to changes in the endocrine system, which produces hormones that control the menstrual cycle. Because the female endocrine system is so complex, medical experts don't fully understand the chain of events that causes premenstrual symptoms to be severe in some women and not in others.\n\nThe one direct cause that is known to affect some women is genetic: Many women with PMS have a close family member with a history of PMS.1\n\nWhat are typical premenstrual symptoms?\nPMS consists of a wide variety of physical, emotional, and behavioral symptoms. Symptoms vary greatly from woman to woman and can range from mild to severe. \n\nCommon physical symptoms include breast swelling and tenderness, bloating, water retention, weight gain, acne, food cravings, sleep changes, lack of energy, lessened sexual desire, and pain, such as headaches, migraines, aching joints or muscles, cramps, and low back pain.\n\nCommon emotional symptoms include depression, sadness, hopelessness, anger, irritability, anxiety, and mood swings. Many women also notice that they feel less alert and less able to concentrate.\n\nCommon behavioral symptoms include withdrawal from family and friends, and physical or verbal aggression."

It's all in the hormones. Sometimes you'll have more in your system than other times. It doesn't matter whether you've eaten, but stress, and getting enough water and rest can affect how bloated you are. Unfortunately, bloating is a side effect of PMS. Try some Ibuprofen or Midol, drink plenty of water and exercise or get some rest, and you'll feel a lot better.

Exercise and ibuprophen. Also, calcium and magnesium taken every day decreases PMS and cramps, at menstrual time, to almost zero.

Are you still having periods? Do you feel sick during the day, are your breasts tender? Pregnancy does increase the bloodflow in theses areas but you need to get it checked out properly, take a test at home or see your doctor as soon as possible

sometimes the "symptoms" of pregnancy can feel exactly like the "symptoms" of a period. mood swings, bloating, tiredness, junk food cravings, headaches. It really just depends on your body. If your 4 days late you can go ahead and take a pregnancy test just to ease your mind.

Congratulations on getting your period. It usually last up to 7 days. The premenstrual symptoms last a few days before your period.  It is good to learn to keep a calendar so you know when you are bloating. Day 1 is your period, and pms is usually day 21. Dont have sex at 11, and no birth control medicine. Respect your health so no medicine is needed.  It is best to have hobbies to prepare for life ahead, and finish school. Blessings!

Its normal I'm on celexa and I still get it.  It has to do with your hormones.  They still to this day don't understand PMS. \n\nTroubling physical and emotional symptoms that occur between the time of ovulation and the first days of the menstrual period are called premenstrual symptoms. Premenstrual symptoms that interfere with relationships or responsibilities are called premenstrual syndrome (PMS).\n\nPMS has a wide variety of physical, emotional, and behavioral symptoms that vary greatly from woman to woman and from cycle to cycle. Symptoms may range from mild to severe. The most common physical symptoms of PMS are water retention, breast tenderness, and weight gain. Common emotional and behavioral symptoms include depression, irritability, and mood swings.\n\nWhile there is no cure for PMS, many women can improve their symptoms by getting regular exercise, eating a healthy diet, limiting alcohol and caffeine intake, and reducing stress. Nonprescription pain relievers can help reduce some symptoms. Prescription medications may be necessary for women who have severe PMS that significantly interferes with their lives on a regular basis.

premenstrual syndrome (PMS), any of various symptoms experienced by women of childbearing age in the days immediately preceding menstruation. It is most common in women in their twenties and thirties. Some 70%–90% of menstruating women are said to have PMS on a cyclical basis. There are over 150 symptoms associated with the syndrome, including behavioral changes, eating binges, moodiness, irritability, fatigue, fluid retention, breast tenderness, and headaches. Some women have mild symptoms; others have symptoms that interfere with work or home life. A few are completely incapacitated, a condition called premenstrual dysphoric disorder. The symptoms vary from woman to woman, and each woman's symptoms may vary from month to month, making diagnosis difficult.\nThe exact cause is unknown. Hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, and neurotransmitter (serotonin and norepinephrine) fluctuations are being studied. PMS patients who have had hysterectomies may continue to have symptoms, but the symptoms in all patients disappear with menopause. There is no cure for PMS. In some women, dietary changes and exercise provide some relief through the loss of water weight, the alleviation of stress, and an increase in the production of endorphins. Antidepressants or antianxiety drugs are sometimes prescribed. In severe cases hormones that induce a premature menopause may be administered.

No- women with MS do still have their periods, but they can experience a flareup of MS during this time.   If you were never tested, you should get tested to see why you haven't had a period.
