It's not really a normal part of PMS more like a symptom of PND (Pre-menstural Depression).  There are various strategies for coping with it many of which are diet or vitamin/mineral based.  The link below will be able to tell you much, much more...\n\nGood Luck.

start taking the medication a day before you expect the pain....once it starts, it's harder to stop\n\ntry a heating pad or a warm bath and try to relax....sometimes breathing exercises even help\n\nalso, make sure you eat healthy and exercise regularly....I can't believe when I get off track how much worse my cramps are!\n\nyou might want to talk to your doctor, they could give you a prescription for the pain and check for any possible problems such as fibroid or endometriosis\n\nwhen I was your age, I had horrible cramps, and I got on birth control pills a couple of years later, and that reduced the pain probably by 80%.....so you may also talk to your doctor about that

Oh, honey, I am so sorry!  This is exactly why I had to go off the pill.  You would think it would make you more even-tempered, but NO.  At least not in my case, and apparently not in yours, either!  That's not to say I don't still have PMS ... but one thing that helps is being able to know what it is.  When you know you're reaching that time of the month, prepare yourself & your family!  As soon as I can tell myself (and my family) that I'm in a foul mood due to PMS, I feel like I can better control it.  Other than that, I would say you can ask your dr. if it's okay to take things like St. John's Wort, or if he has other suggestions.  He may suggest a lower dose of the pill, but it sounds like you've already tried that.  But he may have other suggestions as well.  I feel for you ... it's not fun for anybody!

You poor thing.  Rest, relax, take some aspirin or Midol, use a heating pad.  If none of these helps, consider some vigorous exercise -- some people swear it works.  My periods were kind of rough when I was young; I got into the habit of playing the piano extra-hard, it worked every time.

No darling:) Don't worry, ususally the menstral cycles doesn't become stable(as far as length between and days on) until you are in your twenties, or after your first child. your body is still growing and developing and getting used to the rush or new hormones. Many things can effect your monthly cycle.For example, your body fat percentage. If you very athletic, thin, with very low body fat you will always have a shorter more irregular period. Also if you have another feamle in your household, for some reason unknown to science. Women that live together will eventually have their menstral cycles together. Don't worry , unless you have severe cramping or bleeding,colored discharge(white or yellow), or foul odor. These are all reasons to contact your school nurse,doctor, or your parents. G'luck and be safe

You did not say how old you are or whether or not you are menstruating. If you haven't yet started your menses, this condition could be a prelude to that and will go away when you get a regular cycle. Sounds like you need to talk to your parent or responsible female adult to arrange for a check up by a health practitioner, just to relieve your fears.\n\nVitex (aka Chaste Tree) is a good herb to help balance hormones and get things on the right track. Also helps w/ monthly cramps & pimples. Take 1- 500 mg. capsule 2 times every day.

I think it's stress cause the same happens to me.You might want to change bc pills to a stronger so it doesn't screw up anymore.

Sounds like you have dysmenorrhea which is an unusually painful and difficult period. Birth control pills have helped many women manage this.  What you should avoid drinking (and eating) are caffeine-containing products and this includes chocolate.  The heating pad advice is fine and take analgesics such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen.  There IS one other thing that resolved this for many women and that is having a baby but I don't think you want to go that far!

First, the best advice I can give you is to speakto your mum. She will be able to buy you some sanitary towels and tell you how to use them, when to change them etc.\n\nIf you get crampy pains in the lower part of your stomach, a hot water bottle often helps, as can a warm bath, or some pain killers. Gentle exercise usually helps as well.\n\nHaving your period shouldn't stop you from doing ANYTHING you would usually do. For things like swimming etc, you can use tampons, although I'd advise you stick with towels just now andjust avoid swimming when you're on your period. Having your period is not an illness and should not be treated as one. It is not an excuse to lie about the house and slack off your chores or anything like that - sorry!! It happens to 50% of the population once a month and if we all treated it as an illness, the world would grind to a halt!\n\nBut seriously, speak to your mum about it. She'll be able to help you out much more than anyone on the internet can.

absolutely. bleeding is usually heavier, cramps more intense, and pms is increased. go to a health food store and get some pms remedy that they recommend. and take calcium/magnesium supplements. it really helps to take a b-complex multi-vitamin too. there are lods of websites that have ideas to relieve pms. but from someone who's suffered for years, the cures i mentioned seem to work the best for me.

You should always talk to your doctor before taking any supplements but many women get relief by taking Evening Primrose Oil Capsules everyday, this helps with the hormonal changes that result from ovulation and menstruation.  Hang in there and don't give up, no one today should suffer from PMS :)

what it has to do with is the change in hormones around the time of your period, if it is really bad and you really want to do something about it you can talk to your doctor about going on birth control to try and help balance your hormones alittle better, I am on bc to balance mine for migraines that is how I know that hormones go haywire and cause headaches around your period. Some other things to know is that caffeine will help deliver any medications you take because caffeine thins your blood so it goes into your bloodstream faster and better, just know you don't need allot just a glass of soda or a cup of coffee will do the trick. Also try and stay away from nitrates around that time of the month which are found in things like white potatoes, hot dogs and sausages, processed lunch meats, and sharp cheeses. I hope this info helps Oh and before I forget try Alieve I think it works wonders way better than the others.
