I’m just sitting here while everyone is raging about period cramps, feeling guilty cause my cramps stopped happening after like my 2nd or 3rd period.

Same, but I’ve never gotten cramps…

sameee, I thought it was just me

I get cramps sometimes, usualy when im more stressed

Yeah for my cramps I usually either curl up in a ball or stretch out my abdomen and wrap my torso in heated blankets and pads. Before I was on birth control for it, my cramps would get so bad that I wouldn't be able to move or get out of bed in the morning.

And don't forget pain meds (if they work)

I'm so sorry Red, that sound so sucky.

When I first got my period (which was in like early fifth grade, lucky me) I thought it wouldn't be that bad because it was just blood and stuff, bUT OH MY GOD EVERY SINGLE SECOND HURTS SO MUCH NOW

Also, do painkillers actually work? Most of the people that get periods in my family just suffer through it, so I haven't really taken anything before

Ibuprofen is the only thing I take for my cramps so far, but my mom says it’ll get a lot worse. She has an eye on me

But should I tell her I didn’t have any cramps this period? I’m on my fourth day and I haven’t had any at all.

Is that a problem??

Pain meds dont work for me, it might have something to do with the sleep meds i take

No if it's normal for you not to get cramps then I wouldn't worry too much about it,. though I suppose you should do some research for it

Ibuprofen is the only thing that works for me but it’s not working as well as it was when I first started so… yes and no?

Advil works wonders for me

Okay, thanks Red. smol personal thing if you care It was kinda odd because I’ve been under a lot of stress, I’ve expected them to be so bad I could barely stand! But now it is just super heavy and I don’t have any cramps? I have had a lot of cravings for different stuff…

wtf is my body

Once I had mine at camp (w/t cramps) and all I had was Children's Tylenol…

yay.

I remember I read somewhere that if you keep taking pain meds then your body builds up a resistance to them, which is kind of why I haven't taken any

Yeah, but the thing is, I've NEVER taken pain meds (at least I hadn't for a while)

I actually don't get cramps?? I'm 12??? Is that weird or…

The last time I had really bad cramps, my mom said lavender essential oil would help. Unfortunately for me, it makes my head feel funny, so she said geranium might work instead. And it did! This last time I had bad cramps again and used it, and they went away pretty quickly.
So, if anyone's parent(s) use essential oils, I would suggest that.

Well, the first year or two of having your period can be really wonky. You might never get cramps, or get them in a couple years.

it's my 2 year ya

Oh sorry.
Im a shit person 🙂🙂

Lmao yes I do care and stress can do some really weird things to human bodies. For example, I get ulcers anywhere really easily if I'm under a lot of stress.
Also, just in case if your heavy flow continues without some amount of pain, either something is up or you just got really lucky, or it's completely normal for you.
If the amount of blood your losing seems a bit much, talk to someone about it, research and probably set up a doctor appointment
