My periods are just like yours. I never want to let my period hold me down. Talk to your doctor about this problem. Often doctors put you on the pill. Some people dont know that the pill is not just for pregnancy protection, but also for period regulation. If your parents are not comfortable with you being on the pill (my were not) there are other options. You can start taking Motrin or Ibuprofen about 4-5 days before you perion 3 times a day. This will build up in your system and help your cramps when they start....keep taking the pills as long as needed. As far as heavy flow, he pill could help that, but not much else. Use the biggest size of tampons for games. Good Luck...dont let your period hold you back from having fun and enjoying highschool.

Yes, you should play.. My periods are really, really bad too. I just try not to let it get in my way. I play basketball too and I know how hard it can be but you should just play anyway.. Every other girl has to deal with it too its just a fact of life..

i dont play basketball, but i agree with the cramps, mine get real bad to the point i cant walk and i do cheerleading. Its said that moving around and excercising is actually good for you. It helps to get rid of the pain. Yes its hard to actually start moving around due to the pain but it actually helps to a point.

From what I have read - physical exercise might help to alleviate your symptoms. I would start now. Ask the coach what he/she recommends for you to do to prepare for next year's season. I would also take a look at what you're eating.
Try to cut down on caffeine close to your period. I really think exercise will help you most.

usually when you move around and excersize, in ways such as basketball, then it makes it lighter and the period much more tolerable. the symptoms such as cramps will lighten up as well.

West Ridge could desire to be sure no rely if or no longer they are interior the awesome league or convention if all their opposition is doing this to them. by ability of the comparable token, if Christian background is blowing each and every physique out, possibly they could desire to be in a greater durable league. you each and every so often see this in early season college video games, whilst Kansas will play the hot England Tractor Trailer college (comedian tale) or another mismatch.
