I'm on my period and I'm cramping. Uterus is a bitch. I've got my hot water bag and I've got my magnesia phosphorica and I've a small lemon cake loaf and I've got my hug deck, The Good Tarot.
So I think I'll be fine, but I CAN'T DO ANYTHING except put up with my uterus. I'm just laying here, coping.
You can keep me company if you're also suffering from your period or you can just whine about periods in general. Cursing uteruses is very welcome here. Tips for coping with period pain, hygiene, etc. also welcome. Let's discuss the heck out of this blight upon our bodies.

I had mines last week and there are those rare moments where I don't suffer so much cramping during my period and that was me last week which is nice... I was still an emotional wreck though.
I also had mine last week. I used to have such bad ones, like could not move, bad cramps. Then I tried an ice pack instead of a heating pad and my life changed lol now my regular Pamprin can take care of most of the pain with the ice packs. And I use those hard blue ice packs for like lunch boxes and stuff, that way you have the added benefit of being able to put pressure on it too.
It won’t work for everyone but I definitely recommend trying it if other things aren’t helping. I had no idea the heating pad was making it worse until I stopped using it lol
Now that’s not to say I’m not still uncomfortable xD I’m just not in as much pain.

I've been lucky with mine where I can only think of one time where it felt like my lower half was run over by a semi. Most times I have mild cramps on my first day, and bloating through the next couple days.
For me, my biggest complaint is how long mine last, which is a whole week. I envy those who finish in 3-4 days, but I feel like those women also have the worst cramps, so I wonder if there's some correlation?

@Ava: have you tried an ice pack on your tummy to help with the cramps? Idk if you use heat or anything but it always made mine worse, I’d be taking pills and it would barely help and I thought the heating pad was helping until I tried an ice pack one time and found out I was much much better! Heat was making it worse D;
I also overheat pretty easily so it was always so dreadful to have the heating pad too.

@whimsy: hope that ur not cramping anymore .. the things us women have to put up with XD I have polycystic ovaries so when I get cramps it's worse than labour pains no lie.. well my labour pains weren't even half as bad
So I haven't been able to use menstrual cups because I keep pushing my abdomen out when I cramp and that makes the cup pop out :viosweat:
But I found a company in my country that makes biodegradable pads that ACTUALLY MIGHT BE LARGE ENOUGH to handle my heavy flow. And unlike other brands I've seen this one is actually affordable. Fingers crossed they turn out to be as absorbent as they look.
@Ava: I haven't tried a TENS machine but my hot water bag helps a lot. I also take Magnesia Phosphorica 6x and that has helped too. I think there are stronger versions like 10x and 12x for relieving more intense pain.

@Amber Lynne: I hugely crave desserts and chocolate when I'm on my period so this makes sense to me lol, high five.
@Whimsy: XD Good to know I'm not the only one. I get an absolutely horrible sweet tooth, and I usually just chalk it up to 'I hurt. Make my feel better!'' XD
But seriously, try caffeine. It might help?

@Ava: It's actually homeopathic medicine so you'd get it a homeopath's. Not sure if regular pharmacies would stock it, but you definitely don't need a prescription for it unless it's the stronger version, 12x. I use the middling version, 6x. That dosage seems to suit me just right.
@Amber Lynne: Definitely will try caffeine and see how that goes. I think anything that spikes my energy even a bit to deal with my period is sure to be a helpful thing.

Yay, a period-dissing thread

There are only four rules you have to remember: Make the plan, execute the plan, expect the plan to go off the rails, throw away the plan.

It's not over yet.
There's a lot to look forward to.
Keep going.
You can do this :)
@Ava: yeah, the thing about allopathic meds is that you usually can't take them long-term without suffering side effects.
whereas homeopathy is often made for chronic issues.
so i definitely think you should try a homeopathic medicine. you could try the one i told you about, or you could consult a homeopath to find out the right strength/dosage for you, or any other medicine that could alleviate your pain.
