Let’s say I’m having my period. Ignore me. Let’s say you’re having your period. What can you eat, and what can you not eat? I’ll share with you my research.

What can you not eat and drink?

  1. Salty food. Salty food make you retain water and give you a puffy and bloated feeling.
  2. Dairy Food. This doesn’t apply for all women, but its better to take caution as dairy food might make women feel terrible.
  3. Cold water. Refer to what should you eat #2.

What should you eat and drink?

  1. Chocolates. According to some websites, it’s good to eat chocolates contains complex carbohydrates that helps your body expose off excess progesterone, which is the main culprit of PMS.
  2. Warm water. By drinking warm water, you make your body feel warm and thus pain will be reduced during period. Even days before you know your period is coming, you should be drinking warm water to prevent and lower the pain.

Dietary ways to reduce period pain

  1. Eating six small meals throughout the day, instead of three large ones – this can help to keep your blood sugar up and your mood elevated.
  2. Ensure you’re getting enough calcium. The symptoms of calcium deficiency include depression, irritability and anxiety – much like the symptoms of PMS. Adequate calcium intakes vary with age:
    Girls ages 9 – 18 should be getting 1300 mg/day
    Women 19 – 50 years should be getting 1000 mg/day
    Women over 50 years old should be getting 1200 mg/day (Women above 50 rarely read my blog)
  3. No alcohol please. During this period, depressing effects from alcohol can make your period symptoms more serious.

Help! My period is killing me! I’m having stomach Cramps! What can I do?

  1. Take a warm glass of water.
  2. Take a rest inside a warm blanket.
  3. Put both your warm palms on your stomach.
  4. You should feel well in awhile.

If you think anything above is wrong, please comment.

    Hello! I’m 12 and started my periods at age 10. I had drunken milk before I went to bed yesterday. I know now that makes stomachs feel crappy xD

  2. Rianna says:

    Hey girls, So I am 16 and I just started my period in July (its now January). Anyways, so I get my period twice a month for 3-5 days, and in the beginning I had a really light flow and little to no cramps, but this last time It was the heaviest flow and the worst cramps. And my tampon usually has like clots on it when I pull it out… Is that normal? I know that most of it isn’t normal ( being 16 when I started, twice a month, 3-5 days).

  3. Aya says:

    Hey, I’m 22. And I’m having a very bad cramps. I can’t stretch my back or any of my muscles. I got my period today, and my period last for 10 days .. is this normal?!

    • Mayumi says:

      Having a period for 10 days is normal. If it last for more than 10 then you should check with a doctor. If your back hurts you can take a hot bath or shower. I suggest not to do drugs or drinking. If your back still hurts then take a plastic zip lock bag fill it with boiled water , not too hot make sure there is no air. Then put it on your back and where your muscles hurt. You should do this two times a day. I hope it works.

  4. Zoe says:

    Hi,

  5. princess says:

  6. SG says:

    Hi, I Am 13, I Recently Turned Thirteen A few Days Ago, & This Is My 4th Month Of Having A Period, I NEVER Got Cramps, But As Soon As My Period Started Today, I Have Been having Cramps, Like Bad, Anyway, I Really Think It Is Kind Of Weird To Tell My Mom, So I haven’t, & She Is CONSTANTLY Asking If I Have Started My Period Yet, I Always Lie & Say No.

    • kaitlyn says:

      you can tell her you have a headache and take advil.. also hot coco and tea really help with cramps but definetly avoid coffee and honestly ik you dont wanna hear this but it would be so much easier if you told your mom i dont talk to my mom about my period but how do you get pads and stuff if your mom dosent know? :o

  7. kelly says:

    Ahhhhh My birthday is in a couple of days and I will be on my period then. I was planning on going drinking but I guess that’s out of the question.

    Although, some girls say that since alcohol thins the blood for a bit, it will reduce my flow for that little bit.

  8. Tyler Rose :) says:

    to everyone suffering from really bad cramps, i used to have the same thing REALLY bad and i still do.. but try using ‘ponstan’ its a prescription drug (so see your doctor) but it works like a miracle. Take the pill, lay in a blanket with a heat pack/wheat bag and in about 30-45 minutes it will kick in and all the pain goes away :)

    • Sam says:

      Hi sanaz,
      Its weird because im exactly your age and same syptoms.what helped me is to take the pain releifer beforei have the pain. Like once i know or feel its coming i take it right away. You should know by now which one works best for you. I also cant touch or drink cold things or else my pain comes back but not as hard. I wear heavy sweater and lay on bed swtiching my h heating bad undr my abdomen and ontop my tummy in about 40 minutes the pain is mild and i usually fall asleep. Hope this helps.

  10. Ava says:

    Hi girls :)
    So I’ve had my period since I was 11 and I’m 13 now and I’ve never really had any problems with cramps…like I harly ever get them. But recently I got my period and got up early to go on a run. I got like a mile and a half out and I got the worst cramps Ive ever had. I couldnt walk but I had to get back home bcse I was in a neighborhood I wasn’t from so I started walking back…I got really sick and threw up it was horrible and I ended up laying on the ground in a ball Untill I got someone to pick me up.
    I ended up taking a midol and it got better. But is that normal to have REALLY HORRIBLE cramps and then throw up?
    Thanks for helping
    Ava :)

    • Sanaz says:

      Hey u all
      I startet my period since i was 11.now im a young lady about 28 and since then i have terrible period each month,you cannot imagine how bad it is.cramp,backache,threw up,… .i couldnt go to school and universty at the first day of my period each month.and now i cant go to work at the first day. i avoid to eat everything is bad and cause pain,but no effect.i becom weak in each period.im so tired of this.help me plz

  11. Ayanna says:

    I just started and I need help managing my craps and is it weird it is brownish and not red ok thanks

    • J says:

      ayanna, my sister uses midol and it works pretty well. my mom tries to get me to use it but i dont. i get really bad lower back pains and i all i do is bend forwards and it helps a lot.

      and yes, it is normal to have a brownish color when you first start having periods.

      also, im 11 and i had mine last year so my mom got me u by kotex for tweens pads. they are smaller so they will fit to your body.

      Hope this helps!!

    • Ava says:

      Don’t worry sometimes it is brown like that mine does it too sometimes :) . If you have really really bad cramps like I get sometimes take a midol or aspirin, and try not to do alot of movement/excirsizing that usually makes it worse.

  12. Charlie says:

    Heey All. Im 15 and I’ve had my period for about 3 years. June of 2011 my period completely stopped for the whole month and then got really heavy in July 2011. Ever since then, its been acting weird and irregular. Is that normal? Oh and my boyfriend insists on feeding me chocolate and says it will calm my PMS. But I think its fatty. Is he correct? Oh and I keep these awful food cravings. Please respond. (:

    • Aria says:

      Yes it can happen sometimes, me and my sister had the same problem as you and we were acting weird, but it’s normal. And chocolate is very good at calming ur PMS!

    • Hershey says:

      hes not wrong. According to some websites, it’s good to eat chocolates contains complex carbohydrates that helps your body expose off excess progesterone, which is the main culprit of PMS. the food cravings aren’t abnormal it happens to many women.

    • stef says:

      ONLY DARK CHOCALATE. it does help a lot. but ONLY dark chocalate

  15. T says:

    I am 12 years old and I just my first period on July Monday 16th 2012 and it is still going. I know everyone’s period is different and irregular for a few years but on average how long should a period last.

    • Areeba says:

      hey T! Congrats on getting ur period! Oh it lasts up to 10 days or shorter. Some periods ar 4 days, some are 5, 6, 7, 8, and the longest 10.

    • Dejeana wilson says:

      you can drink a cup of cream ..it helps decrease your period to 3 days ..i am 15 and i have been drinking cream to decrease it ..it really helps .

  16. Abi says:

    Hi all,
    I got my period today and I was so scared! And now I have to use the special toilet at school becaus eit is he only one with a bin and I am scared everyone will find out!! Also I am only 11 but it is my birthday in 26 days so practilly I am 12! What can I eat drink etc. also am I allowed to be physical as in running, jogging and sport etc.???? Please reply ASAP!!
    Thankyou Abi

    • Areeba says:

      yah Abi u are allowed but not extreme sports because if your doing to much exercise like intense and your on your period than try to relax and walk and run a little bit because it could make your periods heavier and could cause some prblm. Good Luck! :)

  17. Nikki says:

    I’ve had my period for 5 years now (im 14) and I usually have my stomach cramps during school or in the middle of the night. Other than taking a pain killer, is there any other way to make the pain seem less during any of these situations? And also, is it true that you can’t eat cold things during your period? I heard from my mom that I should drink warm water or warm our stomach during the cramps, is that effective? Also another question, is it normal to have your bones from the pelvis down to feel loose during cramps?

  18. Julie-chan says:

    When I was 11 I wished That i would have my period becuz all my friends had already had their periods, but when I finally had it it sucked. Is it ok to eat starch? Cuz i read that it slows ur period is that true? Pleaase reply

    • Areeba says:

      hehhe well there were a lot of girls who wanted there periods wen they were 10 or 11! Oh and about the starch, yes ur aloud to but wat kind of starch like baked potato or brown rice starch? or french fries and white rice? It’s good when your on your period that you eat healthy food and try limiting salty fried food. It will make you retain water and give u a puffy bloated feeling. And no it does not hhave anything to do with slowing your period. If your period comes light then you just have a light period. Good Luck!

  19. Rupi says:

    Im 17 years old and i had my period when i ws 12 but from May my period stop i dont know what to do. i dont know what to eat or do. Plz somebody help me how can i get my period back. Help me plz..

    • Izzy says:

      Well have u been sexually active?

    • Areeba says:

      Hey Rupi! Try going to a woman doctor and she’ll probably tell you what’s wrong. It’s better you get real help from a registered doctor, rather than asking what to do from others. Also maybe if you have been sexually active than that’s probably one of the reasons. hope that helps! Good Luck!!! :) :)

    • Sallie says:

      My friends period stopped because she wasnt eating enough so she went to the doctor and he said that it would have been 2 things… stress or not eating enough… hope i helped :)

  20. Emily says:

    Hello fellow ladies i started my periods a few days ago right on the first of july! Im eleven and a half my birthday is in a month so im practicaly twelve. I have noo pain at all! NOt even a little. It has no pain that i didnt realize that i was having it until i went to pee. Here r some simple tips my mommy told me. I also read it on a booklet. Before you get ur period u should excersise a little like sone jogging and stretching. Eating eggs does not make it smell cuz i ate egg and nothing happened. Irs different for all girls but i doubt it. Make sure to change ur pad before u go to sleep. Dont use tampon unless necassary becuz it make make u lose ur virginity which is what u dont want. Good luck!

    • Areeba says:

      hey Emily congrats on getting ur period! yah the first time u get it, it doesnt really hurt.

    • Brenda says:

      Hey Emily, just to let u know, using tampons doesn’t mean u loose ur virginity. To loose ur virginity you have to have sexual intercourse with a male. Also congrats on getting your period.! :)

    • hrdasarck says:

      hey emily tampons doesnt get rid of ur virginity…heheheh bt congrats im thirteen and it doesnt hurt until the 3rd month i barely finished and this really helped

  21. Gabbie says:

    I’m eleven and haven’t had my period yet even though I’ve been having white stuff come out for like two years is there something wrong with me?

    • Carena says:

      Gabbie,
      I’m 17 and have been having periods since . . . Since well forever. That white stuff is completely normal. It’s just discharge. It’s your body’s way of cleaning itself out. Some girls have more than others. Some are so little you don’t notice it and others are like yours and you find it unfortunately in your panties. It’s nothing to worry about. Good luck girl.

    • anupriya says:

      may be you have somesort of infection in your vagina!

    • hrdasarck says:

      no but its a sign ur gonna get it soon i was sort of worried too wen it happened to me hahaha :)

    • m says:

      if you have white stains on your undies, that means your period is going to come soon. thats what happened to me. and i red it on a website…something like that.

  22. Najah says:

    Hey im 11 and bout to me 12 and I had cramps but it didnt really hurt but I have a boyfriend and I am worried I stink around him what I do to not stink I barley got it 2 days ago and.im scared ima stink around him me !!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Areeba says:

      Hey Najah im 12 soon to be 13 and this is my advice: Ok if ur scared u stink around him then just wash your vagine with water tht will help massage and wash away all the bacteria and germs. Wash it every time u use the bathroom and you will not stink. Change your pad often and by doing all these hopefully you won’t stin. but DONOT use scented pads they will irritate the vagina and can cause an infection. Hope this helps! :)

    • Jasmin says:

      Hey,im the same age as you. I wad previously in the same situation as you. i felt the same way with my boyfriend. Were not together anymore but if he really liked you he wudnt care that much and would understand what your going through eventhouh he will never go through it. Anyways period blood doesnt really smell unless it comes into contact with air so if you dont pull ur panties down then yu will be fine loool . Hope i helped. Hope it goes wrll too

    • Polina says:

      Buy some spray that’s what I do.

    • Ashley says:

      when my sister was 12 (and im 12 bout to be 13) she changed her pad when it started to smell and i use kotex pads and on the boxes it has little fact or myth on your period and they’re interesting to learn.

    • hrdasarck says:

      theres soap they make thats not even exensive that helps from the odor from happening hope it helps

  23. Heather says:

    I am 12 and just got my period last night. Its really, really light. But ive had HORRIBLE stomach cramps, and honestly i dont know what i shoul and shouldnt be eatin. Help me please??

    • Areeba says:

      HI Heather congrats on getting your period! Im 12 to and I got mine last year in May. What you should do is eat healthy food’s such as fruits and vegetables. Drink warm milk and STAY AWAY from salty foods like Lays Potato Chips and salty snacks. They make you retain water and give you a bloated feeling which is already worse enough considering you have the cramps. So the day before you get your period, run. Run on the treadmill or get good workout. I tend to run 2 to 3 miles. During your period make sure to walk and stretch. Even though the pain of the cramps and period may already KILL you, walk so your blood clots can be released and I promise you will feel better. Heres some foods you should eat:

      1. Eat plenty of calcium and magnesium rich foods (milk and take your mom or dad to GNC the vitamin shoppe, and buy those calcium tablets. You can get them t Walgreens, Walmart, CVS. I like to get nature-made calcium supplements for HER or the regular ones (1000)

      2. Eat plenty of Iron rich foods. (Spinach, Kale)
      3. During your period you should eat a variety of HEALTHY foods, eggs also (They won’t make your period smell that’s just a superstition) But if you are worried about if it smells, try washing you vagine with warm water. This will clean and massage it. By washing away all the bacteria and germs, you will feel cleaner and lighter
      4. Eat salad that contain veggies. Veggies have nutrients.
      5.Warm milk with a touch of chocolate powder (Try getting Ovaltine since it has vitamins in it and you might be craving chocolate so it’ll work like a bonus!)
      6. Drink Water. Water will help you feel fresher and cleaner and give you some energy.
      7. Don’t eat sour or salty stuff. Sour stuff like Sour-Patch Kids, you may wanna stay away from for the week. Chips are not your go to snack.

      OK Good Luck Heather and don’t worry about your period. It means your capable of giving birth. etc. Try using Pads instead of Tampons. If your at home just use a pad with wings. Yes u have to change them but you only need to change your pad when it is kind of soaked with blood. Tampons on the other hand, you need to worry about not letting it go to far in, or it can slip out. You HAVE to change it and you need to know what size and how much blood in milliliters come out. Im pretty sure you wont wanna take the time to measure your blood so try using Pads. GOOD LUCK! :) :) Oh and talk to your mom, older sister, an Adult you trust like your BFFs mom, or any woman or girl you know that can give you the TRUE answers :)
      Hope this answer helped!!! :) :) :)

    • lily says:

      omg i just got it on the 20th of june but i got it like in the afternoon and im 12 i dont have cramps i also have light blood i do have flows but not too much i’d probably say it healthy exercise

      • Areeba says:

        Yah just eat healthy and exercise. If this is your first time getting them than well for me, they weren’t that bad and im 12. But after that when you start getting your periods its best to take vitamins and supplements. Exercising helps a lot. Even if they kill, they wil help to release blood clots. :)

      • Jihadah says:

        hhahahahahahah the wierd thing is that i got my period june 18th its sucks im on it right now and im looking for healthy foods to eat. Also, what are the best payne killers (did that cuz i like Liam Payne one direction). I have some examples Midol,Motrin,Advil,or Tylenol i heard tylenol doesn’t work though. Oh and when I go back to school how do you tell your teacher I think it will be harder because my new teacher is a male. Pleeze help me thnx Keep Calm And Get One Direction Infection =)

        • J says:

          dont worry about telling your teacher. if u really need to go and he asks why just say its a girl thing. he will probably be more embarrassed than you.

          my sister uses midol

          and also, the brand of pads that i use are u by kotex tweens. they are smaller and fit to ur body (i got mine when i was 10)

          hope this helps!!

  24. Yajaira says:

    Hi I’m Yajaira ! and i get really bad cramps something i didnt use to get but the reason is because i eat alot of chili and some other foods i shouldnt be eating days before getting my period. So i’am going to list some of the foods you should’nt be eating (days before your periodor during your period).
    1- chili : tapatio , jalapenos, anytime of salsa homemade or store.
    2- tomatoes
    3-onions
    4-lettuce
    5- eggs (eggs kan make your period smell )
    remember everyones body is different and reacts differently. Hopefully this helps and if you have any question ..please ask :)

    • Areeba says:

      With all do respect, I don’t undertand how home made salsa is wrong. If anything I think it’s healthy and you can pair it with a protein and a carb. Salsa is just tomatoes, herbs, onions, Jalapeno’s , and something else. Chili ok, but onions and lettuce?!? Lettuce is an excellent source of vitamins, and so are onions like eat it with something. If anything, everyone should be eating some green each day.Especially during your period, I try to eat a salad with lunch or dinner, Eggs are pretty good in Periods. They are a healthy source of protein and the yoke has B-Vitamins and something else which makes your period easier and not so worse. The reason it smells is because your not cleaning your vaginal. Your vagine is where all the bacteria and germs are. If all women started washing it, then lots of DUB, and vaginal problems wouldn’t happen. Try buying a watering can and put it in your bathroom. Wash your vagine every time you use the bathroom and it will clean and massage it. :)

  25. sofie says:

    I had mine in march 10 and since that I have it every 1O of every month .-_-

    • Cheyanne says:

      I wish mine was that easy to predict. I got mine on February 8th then, March 13th! THEN, March 30th. while I was at camp. It then skipped April. … Bodies are weird…

  26. Desiree says:

    For cramps take up to 600 mg calcium lactate (plant based). Avoid pain killers, aspirin and ibuprofen they are all bad for your liver. Drink lots of water.

    Also, drink the juice of one lemon with 6-8 oz of warm spring water every morning on an empty stomach. This will cleanse your liver and help you detox as well.

    You can take the calcium daily at night on an empty stomach to help you sleep well, and for tooth and gum health (receding gums and loose teeth). It also helps with wrinkles and will help you keep your youthful look for years to come. I am over 50 and I am reading your blog. :)

  27. Christina says:

    Oh god, I had the worst cramps last night. I only got a few hours a sleep, think I fell a sleep at 3.30 am or something. Worst night ever! I have never felt so much pain before and aspirin didn’t help either. Only made it worse, actually. I’v had my period for 3 years now, so it’s weird that I haven’t felt this kind of cramps before. Anyways, going to try out the tips above.

    • Cheyanne says:

      Oh, if you have cramps, you should try Advil. It’s great! When I have cramps, I just lay down on my stomach for awhile and I take an Advil, it starts working pretty fast. If you don’t have Advil, you can try Tylenol. (I reccomend Advil) Hope i helped!

    • Areeba says:

      Hi Christina! Im so sorry for the cramps! Yah it’s best you don’t take any over the counter medicine unless your doctor says it’s ok. When ever i have cramps I like to walk and stretch no matter the pain. Actually by walking it helps release the blood clots and makes you feel better. Try drinking warm water, and eating healthy. The best thing I do before getting my period, like if I know, I RUN on the treadmill for like 2 to 3 miles. I get a good workout and whenever I do this my periods are not the worse. Yes maybe 1 or 2 days their kinda bad but the other days are not so bad. Also, your period is preparing you for what it’s going to feel like when you have a baby. Hope you feel better! :) :) =) =[) n_n :[)!

  28. ARAVINDA says:

    • Angelynn says:

      having your period is just a preview of what its gunna be like when you have a baby. the PAIN is actually the pain of blood coming down, especially the little clot looking ones ( you know what I mean) but you gotta deal. I aswell have had my period since 10 so, And the pills your doc gave you sounds like birth control. I dont recommend it.

      Tips on how to have the bleeding go fast.
      Drink homemaid lemonade.
      or malt soda (Malta India or Goya Malta) those are Spanish soda’

    • sarah says:

      if it happens again, go 2 the E.R. immediatly!!!!!!!!

    • Areeba says:

      No tht is not normal try seeing a different female doctor and eat healthy before your period try running on the treadmill and taking a good warm shower and clean you vaginal every time you use the bathroom by pouring water an d cleaning it this wil make ur cramps feel better by the warm water cleaning and massaging it eat healthy and take iron and vitamin pills Im soon to be 13 and have had it for 2 years now and they were a little irregular but now their getting better and I hope u feel better! :)

    • Areeba says:

      OMG Im so sorry for your pain. Im 12 and have had my period since I was 11, and try eating healthy and exercising. Those pills your doc. gave you don’t sound like something that’s going to help you. Try seeing another doc. and hearing what she says. R u sure you havent ever had like a light flow like close to the end of you r period? well ok hope that helps! :)

  31. Monse says:

    I have heavy periods to da point dat I cant get out of bed nd none of da medicine I drink work anymore!! What can I do? Any advice?

    • Toxic_Halo says:

      Have you tried going to the Dr.?

    • Cally says:

      Hi Monse,

      After years of painful period pains (I still do sometimes, especially when I indulge in too much ice-cream or no exercise), these definitely helped me a lot. Hope it does the same for you too.

      Firstly, please go get a thorough check up from a qualified doctor. Menstrual cramps are symptoms of ovarian cysts / other ovarian related. Not trying to scare you but my good friend had to go for surgery twice because of growth in her ovaries.

      In the meantime, do try these alternatives to medication. (Do stop your painkillers, sounds to me like your body is becoming immune to them)

      1) Drink warm water (all the time)
      Drink plenty of warm water all the time. Abstain from cold water, ice-cream, sorbet or cold fruits for at least 3 months. After your period pains subsides, you can occasionally take them in moderation. You could also add some lemon & honey to your warm water.

      2) Take evening primrose oil daily
      Evening primrose oil is a good source of gamma-lineolic acid (GLA), an essential fatty acid that is often found to be lacking in women who suffers from PMS. The body converts GLA into prostaglandins, which act like hormones to regulate certain bodily functions such as inflammation and muscle contraction.
      Start by taking 1000mg & 500mg capsule on alternate days for at least 3 months. After 3 months, you can reduce to 500mg on daily basis.

      3) Ginger tea
      During your menstration, you can boil some ginger & screw pine leaves. Drink it warm with a little honey. Note : DO NOT add the honey when the tea is boiling, it rids the healing properties of the honey. Avoid ginger tea if you are on any blood thinning medication though.

      4) Exercise
      Take up walking, jogging or even yoga classes. Most menstrual cramps happen due to blood clots in stomach. Exercise helps to regulate blood circulation & produces “happy” i.e. endorphin hormones to ease the pain.

      5) Essential oil (Peppermint, lavender & rosemary)
      I found these 3 essential oils really helped with easing my cramps. Add 1 drop of peppermint, 2 drops of lavender & 1 drop of rosemary essential oil to some water in a burner at least twice a week when at home. On menstrual days, you could do with 1 drop of lavender in water just before bed time. All 3 essential oils contain antiseptic / anti inflammatory properties, helps relax muscles, clears congestion & eases breathing.

      6) Aromatherapy massage / foot reflexology
      Treat yourself to an aromatherapy massage / foot reflexoloy at least once a month or once in 2 months. This relaxes your whole body & helps detox as well.

      7) Learn some basics of body / hand / foot reflexology so you could do it at home
      This is definitely useful especially when you do it a week before your mensus. BODY REFLEXOLOGY; HEALING AT YOUR FINGERTIPS by Mildred Carter helped me A LOT.

      8) Hot water bottle
      Of course, not to forget the hot water bottle or a hot blanket always helps during menstration.

      9) Last but not least, you have to be hardworking / determined to do all of the above in order for you to start seeing some results :)

  33. yo says:

    peace

    • Toxic_Halo says:

      Honey, you can’t really stop it!
      It’s natural and your body needs to somehow get rid of the bad things! There are many myths that state some foods can “stop” it, but it is bad if you do so, retaining the bad “chemicals” inside is bad for your health! Just be glad that you have it already, because there are girls who are 18and haven’t had one!!
      I suggest you just let it flow! Just make sure to check regulary so you don’t stain your clothes or something! :)

    • Cheyanne says:

      I know you are young, but you could try tampons if you get your period that week, but honestly, if you just got it, you aren’t really on a set schedule yet. I got mine a year ago, and I just got on schedule. When I was just getting used to it, it actually skipped 2 months! It’s just your body adjusting.

  34. Carrie says:

    Ok I suffered with horrible period pain for years, on the sofa for 3 days straight every month, tylenol barely helped. I started doing research and discovered the following absolutely worked for me:

    1) every single day eat a bowl of real oatmeal (not instant) and an apple or brocolli or all three – fiber in your diet removes excess hormones from your system, excess hormones lead to painful periods and severe pms.

    2) I drank 3 or 4 large glasses of water a day with lemon concentrate in them mixed with either sugar, honey or maple syrup to sweeten it a bit. Lemon water will help remove toxins from your liver and really your entire body so it can function properly, your liver is responsible for filtering hormones out of your bloodstream, if it is congested, it will not filter properly and can lead to excess hormones and hormone imbalance in your system.

    3) no meat, no dairy, no eggs or fish – eat fresh veggies and fruit, whole grains, legumes – avoid processed foods. meat, dairy, eggs and highly processed foods are difficult for your body to digest (most people are lactose intolerant past the age of 2), this causes stress on your body, stress causes cortisol to rise, hormones get mixed up and too much in your system causes a host of illnesses…

    4) take a multi vitamin for women – if nothing else this will supply you with magnesium and calcium if you are lacking, magnesium will help reduce pain.

    5) reduce your stress, learn to meditate, do yoga, learn how to destress yourself, this will help calm you, ease pain etc.

    6) drink at least 6 large glasses of water a day, everyday – helps your body detox.

    I suffered with very large blood clots, excessive pain during my period, fibroids, the beginnings of endometriosis, breast cysts, wicked pms and fluctuating emotions, the beginnings of fibromyalgia and i also had a severe case of gallbladder disease – these are all related to hormones… have been following the above diet and excercise routine and have ZERO symptoms now, I am almost 40 years old and I am ovulating and have periods like when I was a teenager. Have taken 3 tylenol in the last 8 months and during my horrible periods I was taking 2 extra strength tylenol every 4 to 6 hours… this system worked for me, good luck!

  35. maher says:

    i have 10 month baby girl and i have a take injection every 2 months to avoid and not planned and ready for 2nd child so soon. iam not getting period now what shall i do.

    • yailen torres says:

      youll get it soon.just wait..i get my perod every 6-7 months.i went to the doctor and he said that its normal.aloso when you have your first or second baby your period changes. just wait a little bit and youll se that youll get your period. if its been more than maybe 7 or 8 months see your doctor.

    • Kim says:

      Well, if you are on the depo shot then you may not get one. I had that for awhile and din’t have a period. I would talk to your doctor. I had Implenon put in my arm to prevent pregnancy and i get a period 4 times a year(every three months) and still no unexpected pregnancy. Been on it since 2008. Hope this helps! :)

    • sarah says:

      First of all dudet ;) your pregnant! Congrats! Just relax……and i hope your baby/babies will b born happy and healthy! (And sometimes, you can have your period when you are pregnant!)

  36. Well if you have big cramps like me you don’t have to drnk warm water better eat soup limptom soup consider best for the warm liquid helps your blood break apart (what causes period) and the most take a hot shower or if you like but a wet warm cloth in your stomach constantly for 30 min reduces pain …also get the warming electric belly pad the sell them at stores like walmart for periods and for pregnant women’s .

  37. Abby says:

    Well This Is To Young Girls Always Tell Your Mom They Always Know What To Do Cause They Have Been Throught It ThemSelves Just Watch What You Eat Cause Every Girl Is Different From There Body Don’t Eat Chocolate Because It Causes Acne & It Gives Some Girls Bad Cramp Warm Water Is Sometimes Good & Get A Lot Of Rest Don’t Put Alot Of Force In Your Body Cause Its Dulcet & If You Are Throwing Up & Fainting You Might Be Pregnant & Or Its Something Else Witch You Should Go To The Docter For But Take Care Of Your Body Don’t Wear Tight Things Like Skinnys & Always Have Socks On Me Warm Well That’s All The Advice I Know

  38. heather says:

    well what i’d advise you do is first take ideprofine then that will slow down the blood if its heavy but when on your period stay away from salty foods drink tea it helps when i have mine and also stay away from icecream not only does it make rolls under you boobs but its makes the pain worse to relieve the cramps just remember tea then heating pad.

  39. Diamynd says:

    You should not eat chocolate; it contains a substance that causes more to cramps. As well it increases PMS-ing and cramps to increase, you should eat high in whole grains to keep sugar count up instead of chocolate due to caffeine intake.

  40. Irestly says:

    Some are true especially drink warm water. But as for me,I go on running and that makes me less pain and at the same time,I feeeeellll good!

  41. pawan says:

    hi, thanks to give us good solution for avoied our pain.

  42. Adriana says:

    im on my dayzz nd im scared wen im in skool u can notice my pad or i will get wet wat should i do i also get alot of cramps nd they hurt lyk hell plzz i need an answer ASAP

    • Cheyanne says:

      OH don’t worry! Nobody notice it, only if you wear white pants, or see through kind of shorts or pants. I also would not reccomend tight pants or shorts, but other than that you are good! Oh, and for the cramps. I always take an Advil to help with mine, so i ask your parents if they could put a pill in a little baggie for you to take at lunch. :D

  43. Folashade says:

  44. Nicole says:

    hey guys i just started my periods and i am in bed under a blanket and writing this message. My mom says like dont eat cold things nor caffiene and also i have my periods every 2-3 months later and i would like some answers like urgently cause this is very very important to me.

And my school is going to start in 4 days and i do not want it to last for 7 days its going to be embarissing because i have really bad cramps and also i am 12 yrs in 1 days so please anyone with answers help me as quick as possible=(AQAP) thank you

  45. EDEN-HEART:P says:

    omg i just had my period. my mom got me huge pads and i dont know why so i have to get smaller ones .

    • Anon says:

      It’s better to get the large overnight kind when you first start out, actually. Every girl has a different body and you can’t predict how heavy your flow will be, it’s better to have a large pad that you don’t need then to have a small pad and end up making a mess on your clothes. In the first few years a girl is most likely still going through a growth period and the hormones will wreak havoc on the flow as well as how often you get your period, so you should always keep some large ones on hand in case you are surprised.

      Also, a large pad is good for girls who move around a lot, as it covers a bigger area. The blood ends up in different places depending on if you are standing, sitting, or laying down–a large pad will cover all of the areas that may need to be covered.

    light excercise always works to relieve lower back pain and cramps when your on your period, especially ones that stretch out your core, like yoga.

  53. Stephanie says:

    Yes of course! It is a cycle and your period will come.

    Eating healthier might eventually reduce the pain you suffer. Start drinking more warm water.

  54. Lilly says:

    If you eat healthy will your period comes?

    • yailen torres says:

      you will have your period when its time for your body to get rid of your bad seed.it takes a while because not every woman is the same.i get it every 6-7 sometime 8 but its normal.

      by eating healthy even before you get your period of even WAY before you get it helps alot. healthy people get there period every monthe or two.

    • Anon says:

      When blood gets old and clots it turns dark, the blood was most likely just old blood that took too long to exit the body. This happens every once in a rare while to me and I’ve never experienced problems before. If it persists for another day or so, though, then consult a gynecologist about possible causes.

  61. hailee says:

    i am 10 and stared my period yesterday and cold and warm water help p.s i have not told my mom so what sohuld i do

  63. kaitie-lyn says:

    help me! i think im having my period im peeing blood and its really sore when i do go and i looked in my pants but there is nothing there?? im confused plz help.

  64. blue-rose111 says:

    Hi Rachel . How are you today . first I would say don’t worry . that’s something you will get used to it . I think it’s better to tell your mother . she will help you in any circumstances. To avoid worse cramps you should drink some hot drinks like:Ginger , cinnamon or Latency. put a full tea spoon of a powder one of them in a cup . then put a Boiling water over and cover your cup about 10 minutes .
    you have to take a shower but not swimming .
    I hope I give a usefull information. thanks…

  65. Rachel says:

    I’m 12 years old and i just started my period yesterday afternoon…i haven’t told anybody yet, but i do know what to do during a period. I have been getting minor cramps and pains, but what do i do if the cramps get worse?when should i tell my mom? which brand of pads is best to use? PLEEZ REPLY BACK VIEWERS!! IM INEED OF KNOWING SOME ANSWERS!! :)

    • Bella says:

      the two best pads i know Rachel are Curve and Alwyas

    • Cheyanne says:

      Well I’m 13, and I used kotex, and if you are a smaller size, you can use the kotex tween brand, but for overnight, wear a much, much thicker pad.
      Kotex and Always are good brands! And you should tell your mom, it’s important to have communication.

  66. diiamond says:

    im on my period and i have severe stomach pains what can it be ??

  67. gabrielle says:

    Ok I am on my period I totally feel bloated and I am having a severe head ache Is this normal??? And My stomach hurts really bad? UHUHUH I hate those stupid periods!!!!!!!!

  68. rosa says:

    i ate dairy and cold water and chocolate nun actaully happend but this is me but for other women they might be really soft so we need 2 b careful

  69. Stella says:

    Some of the information contradicts itself, for example you said no dairy products, but you also mentioned that we need to have calcium intake. So ho do we get our calcium? I don’t want to rely on pills.

    hey, can some one please selp me when i start my rags it feel’s like i can’t breath all in my stomach feels so soor. And i really don’t feel hungry at all? I normaly have my rags for 3or4 days. But last month i had them for 6days. Is that normal. I have been getting my rags for 4years now?

  74. jessica says:

    Also, if you have sex during your period, and if your partner is not using a condom it can give him an infection. But just ofr the kicks avoid sex during those days.

  75. jessica says:

    Another food you should avoid during your menstrual cycle is Watermelon. Watermelon makes your menstruation heavier, and no girl likes that. And avoid sour foods/drinks such as lemons and oranges. I was told that having sex during your period is bad, that it can cause some sort of cancer……?

  78. justine says:

    do not eat chocolate it makes it worse trust me i found out the hard way and when you have your period wear socks and keep warm under the covers and no sex

  79. Bree*z says:

    Yes wear socks when ur on ur period* well i have a question… *I will be leaving a weekend wit my boyfriend and his parents* we all have to sleep in a big room together* (just being respectful) and im scared if i go through on the bed*** What should i do?!?*

  80. Bree*z says:

    Yes wear socks when ur on ur period* well i have a question… I will be leaving a weekend wit my boyfriend and his parents we all have to sleep in a big room together* (just being respectful) and im scared if i go through on the bed? What should i do?

  81. Amanda says:

    wow…thanks for all of the advise. i judt started up agine and feel like crap. but i ate a mcflurry that my dad got me and it made my day. i eat a lot of sweets during my period but right now i am in alot of paon so i am just laying in my bed.

  82. Lau says:

    True about the chocolate. I understand it makes cramps and bleeding worse…

  83. Shari says:

    @Helga: I would suggest you increase your fiber(more vegies) and water. Some women respond with diarrhea or constipation. In your case it’s looking like constipation. I don’t think that’s normal. How many days are you talking?

  84. Shari says:

    @Mia: I feel the same way during my periods. The dizziness you might want to get checked out just to make sure you’re not anemic. But again it comes with the territory. I would do a blood test to make sure you’re not anemic before you consider it a normal response during your period. Hope that helped.

  85. Mia says:

    umm i have been felling like im about to throw up on my periods and also my head has been hurting so much.. and i feel so dizzy. is this normal when im on my period

  86. Helga says:

    I do not poop the days I have my period. Is that normal?

  87. Danna says:

    Well I know 2 things not to eat,

    Chocolate. Makes you have more cramps.

    Salty foods. Salty food make you retain water and give you a puffy and bloated feeling.

  88. Alexa says:

    And with the hot liquids, does hot cocoa go along with that?

  89. Alexa says:

    I’m 14 and I started my periods about a year ago and my periods are NEVER regular. They are never shorter than 32 days apart. February I didn’t even get it. Is that normal?

    • Sophie says:

      Yeh mine too I’m very worried 😳

    • Niki says:

      Totally normal.I’m 12 turning 13 we had a lesson at school and we learnt it takes a good two years until u get a pattern.We just have toughen up nd deal with it.(I hate boys :P )I only get my period every 2-3 months I guess I’m lucky. I only to it last year but it sometimes lasts a whole week but thats just my stupid body!

      Good luck, hope my advice is what u needed

    • Cheyanne says:

      Actually yes, I’m 13, and mine have skipped 3 months before, and I even got my period twice in one month, but my period lasted 4 days each.. weird huh? (I started mine a year ago too)

    @maria all periods are normal. they affect people in different ways. sometimes it can be a dark reddish colour, sometimes it can be bright red or a brownish colour or even just discharge! so dont worry yourself :)

  94. Maria says:

    Ummm .. who ever said cold drinks are good is wrong because then it will make you bloat.. and ice cream is a big no no due to the coldness right..
    i had my period a couple years ago and then i didnt get it for like another year.. is that normal?? and also i didnt pee blood it would just be on my pad.. and it was just like a marroon color.. not even red it was just like dried up brown.. is that normal or should i see a doctor??

  97. blue rose says:

    in our culture we have to treat these days with a special treatment.
    First you have to eat healthy food.
    Like fish, meat, and so on.
    Avoid ice-cream, cookies , and sweets.
    Drink hot drinks
    like tea , coffee, and vegetable soup!
    Make your own herbal tea.

    Avoid eating sour fruit or drinks.
    Like orange and lemon. They stop the blood and it causes some diffeculties to you.

    During your period always wear your socks . Cold floor may hurt you.
    AVOID sex during the 7 days.
    Accurding to the resent researches: the womb in the period time unable to protect itself from any bacterial which will inter!
    You will loose your health in few minutes.
    Sex you can postpone it to another time.

    Have a best healthy body ^_^

    eww! who would have sex while on ur period?? that’s a big no no due to the fact that ur bleeding!

  100. JLF says:

    @catherine
    exercise often helps me when im on my period. if it starts to twinge, I go for a gentle walk. swimming also helps. :)

  101. Catherine says:

    Is exercising bad when you are having your period?

    • Cheyanne says:

      Actually no! Yoga and Aerobics can actually help if you have cramps! But if it makes you feel worse as you exercise, I would take a break. Athletes on their periods have to go to games and have events to go to, and they are fine doing so.

  102. Letty says:

    Thank u very much for the help i just turned 17 and I just started my period for the first time!! We thought something was wrong but thank God I started and every thing is ok. Well well is it ok to eat ice cream? How bout hot cheatos and why?

  103. angie says:

    what about sea food??? or is just for sertain women???

  104. Juqua says:

    okay i’m 14 and just having y period regularly and im in so much pain and stupid midol isn’t working i wanna cry HELP!!! WHAT DO I DO!!!!!

    • Cheyanne says:

      Well, if it’s cramps you are having, then try some Advil. Or, find some home remedies that maybe your mother used. (if you have a sister, maybe she knows some ways to feel better)

  111. Emily says:

    Chocolate is no good due to the caffeine in it (that goes for tea or sodas) and the thing about cold water is just silly. Hot, cold, or warm, water is good for you during your period. Also, you should eat bananas – the potassium helps and it may ease minor cramping.

    • Jenny says:

      Lol that what I was thinking today my mom is taking me to outback steak house and I was wondering if i could get some coconut shrimp! ^__^

  114. daiys flores says:

    hey, i also have something you can’t eat. If you eat lemonit will cut your period and that’s bad cause that means your period wont come for awhile.

      What Can You Do If You Have Your Period When Your Mom Isnt Home For 2Days And You’re Stuck Between A Brother And A Dad Who Want To Know What’s Wrong?!

      • daiys flores says:

        hey, i saw your comment well if you mom isn’t home for 2 days and your stuck with a brother or/and dad just tell a friend you trust or a relative.

  116. Anu says:

    Ive heard you shouldnt drnk cold milk
    and you shouldnt eat chocolate cuz it makes you have craps :\

  117. nadine says:

    Thanks for the good advise.. i already do put my hands on my belly&that when im on my period… it might sound a bit silly, but it actully really helps.. also hot water bottles.. but when you are school you have to rely on paracetamal or something stronger sometimes, or you should try getting some heat pads, that you just put on your underwear or top and you leave on for the day, they really help, and you can wear them without anyone knowing that you are wearing them, as you cant see a bump on your belly or anything! i think you can get them from tescos.
    im 14 and i have been having my period for over a year now, but they are not “regular” still.. is this normal? :|

  118. Chelsea says:

    What about period cramps during school, how can I relieve that without making it obvious im having my period?

    • Sierra says:

      @Chelsea: I’ve been through this stage many times. If you feel your period coming on during schoo, go to the nurse, most of the time the nurse will have tampons and pads for you too use. Also, if you were already wearing a pad or tampon, then try to bring 3-4 every day and replace in a bathroom when necessary.

    • kitty says:

      take those period pill it will help if you dont like pills then before u go to school take a warm wash cloth and put it over the pain or u can do this at school but people might know u have your period

  119. lily says:

    What can we do to ease the anxiety and depression before and during your period?

    • tasha says:

      Ok, I got my period last march and I just turned 12 at that time and I got it regularly for 2 of the following months and then I didnt get it for 2 months! Then I got it the next month(november) and I didnt get it for 5 months! And now I got it yesterday(May 18) and my lower tummy hurts really really bad and I took Tylenol and it doesnt help. it is also bleeding way too much (I have been changing my pad every 2 hours). I dont know what to do and how do I know when I will get it again??? Someone Please help!!!

      • Amber says:

        I’m 16 and I get them really bad sometimes, I even vomit and the pain lasts for about 5hours :/ Anyway, when I first started (14 I think) it didn’t hurt one bit, but like you, it was extremely irregular. You shouldn’t worry about this, as you get older, it will settle down and your cycle should start to make itself clearer. For the pain, drink ginger tea (not only when your on you period but also include it in your everyday diet, there as many benefits to this) and get a hot water bottle and put it lower down on your tummy. If the pain becomes unbearable then go to the doctors, he will give you some meds but if these don’t work then maybe you should consider some other options when your older such as surgery. I sure as hell can’t take it anymore so i’m looking for an alternative myself. Good luck Tasha, we all need it.
