girls only plz ?

Question

i just started my period yesterday and i got 3 questions to ask
1.how do i help cramps i go tthem bad ?
2.who do i tell can tell me mom she died
3.what was your first period story

Answer 1

1. Cramps can be helped with a heating pad, warm baths, Motrin or Tylenol or Midol if you can get it.

2. Do you have a trusted friend? You could talk to her mother. Or do you have any other female relatives? They could help you also. Just an FYI, you're going to have to tell your father eventually. You're going to need sanitary supplies, so you'll either need money or need him to purchase them.

3. First period story? Kinda crappy. I was 10 (almost 11) and I started bleeding. I had thankfully had SOME sex ed in the 4th grade, so I knew i wasn't dying or anything, but I still panicked. I finally worked up the nerve to tell my mother. She looked at my underpants, said, "Yep. That's your period. Pads are under the sink. Good luck." That at was it. Pretty bad, huh?

Well, welcome to womanhood. I hope that you find folks to talk to. It will get easier with time. Take care.

Answer 2

First, welcome to womanhood! Ok, to answer your questions..
1. If cramps are bad, there are a few things you can do, a hot water bottle on your tummy often helps, letting warm water in the shower run on your tummy often helps, if not, there are many things you can get from your pharmacy made especially for period pain, ponstan is about the best.
2. Do you have a sister? aunt? cousin? best friend? you can talk to any of those about this. If not, go to your doctor, you can talk to your doctor and they will be able to help you. Alot of places have womens health facilities. These are really good. Ran by women for women...you doctor would be able to direct you to the nearest one.
3. My first period doesn't really have a story. I was told all about it before it happened. I knew it would come, i was prepared. When it did come, i felt an odd kind of cramping feeling in my tummy, not bad..but unusual, i was fairly sure what it was so prepared. No biggie there.
Good luck with it all.

Answer 3

Midol works great.

I'm sorry your mom is not here, you can prolly tell a friend or sisters if you have any. Boys usually don't like to hear about it.

I was 12 or 13 when I got mine and I was well educated on what it was and what it'll do and I STILL didn't realize that it was my period for like a month. It was a warm summer in San Francisco and my friends and I were getting chased by these boys, lobstor claw, ricebowl, and fatty. I couldn't run for the life of me because of my cramps and I seriously thought I was just crapping myself. I did have the sense to use a maxi pad so my underwear wouldn't get dirty. It was really brown and gross so it looked like poo. The next month when I wasn't running around anymore, the blood was more red and then I knew it was my period.

Welcome to womanhood! haha

Answer 4

ask an adult you trust about which medications u should try. motrin really helps me, thats what i take. if u have any female siblings i suggest you talk with them about it, and if you dont, im sure u have some girl friends who have had their periods be4 and they can give u some advice.
i got my first period last august, and it caught me by suprise. i was at home, not at school. but i still wasn't expecting it. i didn't get any cramps be4 my period, so i really had no idea it was coming. i was 12 at the time. basically theres not too much too tell, lol i dont have one of those facinating/ dramatic period stories. all it really was was a trip to the bathroom, and i looked down, and there was my period. it was light red and kinda blotchy. but i knew it was my period. i told my mom and a few of my friends and that was that. :) i was pretty excited though. i hope i helped! :) good luck!!!

Answer 5

1) Take some Midol and sit with a heating pad.
2) Ask your grandmother older cousin or a female teacher you can trust.
3) My first period started when I was almost 14. I was so excited because all my girlfriends had their periods and I was the last one. I knew once I got my period I was officially a woman! Unfortunately, I hate having it now because I have to take birth control to regulate it.

Answer 6

Get a microwavable hot pack and put it on your stomach when you are able. Take IB proufen or something in the mornings to lessen the pain. Dont take aspirin, it helps the pain, but makes you bleed more.

You can tell a teacher, school nurse or other family member. You can also go to a health clinic or a doctor if you need to

First story...honestly, you don't want to know. It lasted almost 3 weeks and I was certain it wasn't going to stop. But, eventually it got mostly straightened out.

Answer 7

OK well you could try telling a close friend. When I got my period my mom told me to take Tylenol for the cramps. When I first got my period I was babysitting and I was wearing white shorts so it just soaked right through. My mom didn't really discuss it with me before that so I thought I was bleeding to death so my mom had to sit me down and tell me and stuff like that!! Can you say embarrassing!! Glad to help and good luck!!

Answer 8

Teen extra strength Miodol
Tell your dad-yes he will need to know too / grandma /aunt/ older sibling/or friends parent


I was 13 years old (am still awaiting my 2nd period)
I prayed that my grandma would just Know, Then she said,
if your spotting you will get your period soon, you know? Then i said, I already got it.
So my aunt bought (pre ordered) me harry potter 7, My grandma took me out to dinner, and then tried to buy me the little house on the prarie set at $5 each but i wouldnt let her ;)

A warm water bottle and lying on your back with your feet up helps too, but the teen miodol worked best, also try taking a walk (even if its just around the house/yard.
Good Luck

Ps. It ok if its long or short at first (3-10 days) then it can be irregular for up to 2 years.

Answer 9

you can buy midol, that helps a lot. or tylenol. talking a hot bath or lying on a heating pad helps really well too. put the pad near your lower back usually. do you have an aunt or close female family friend? if not, you could talk to your dad. i'm sure he has been expecting this day and he might want the chance to be there for you. i got my period when i was 14. luckily on a sunday. i was always so worried that i would get it during school. welcome to womanhood!

Answer 10

it may be embarrassing telling your dad but if you dont have an older sister, neighbor, or friend that you can tell, simply say that you need to go to the store to buy some "supplies" and he will know what you are talking about.

midol gets rid of cramps, bloating, etc., not just cramps so id take that instead of ibuprofin.

buy regular pads, night, and panty liners if you want. if you want to try tampons, but a box but my suggestion is to get pads incase you arent comfortable with tampons.

if you do use tampons, dont use them at night (shock) and dont buy sented ones because they can give you infections.

good luck, and remember it's just part of being a woman. =)
