Answers:
You are correct when you say that Advil makes you bleed worse!. Advil, Motrin, Aleve, Aspirin and any other over the counter pain reliever BESIDES Tylenol causes the blood to thin and causes excessive bleeding!. Also try to remember the above named products take an average of 7-10 days to get out of your blood system once you take them!.

Stick to heating pads, Bananas help with the cramping, get and electrolye vitamin water because it has more potassium (just like bananas) that help with the cramps, also if they are this severe and you are not on birth control, I would recommend seeing a gyn to get on a birth control like Yaz that will shorten your period to less than 4 days or something else that is used for this condition like Seasonique it gives you only a period 4 times a year so that you do not suffer this way!. There are many options out there for you!.

Remember if you have a heavy cycle you want to increase your protein and iron intake such as red meat or green leafy vegetables, it will help with the fatigue!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You have cramps!. You can naturally get rid of cramps by exercising!. Just go on a brisk walk outside for 20 minutes!. And you get cramps because your muscles are trying to squeeze the blood out of your uterus!.

Put a hot water bottle on where you feel yours cramps, or take a hot bath!. That's another natural way to get rid of cramps!.

And for the moodiness, just write your feelings down in a journal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well Midol doesn't always help everybody!. The way I relieve pains and try to get the moodiness and such to a lower level, I take one or two Pamprin things because it's made especially for that kind of stuff!. So I would definitely suggest trying that, otherwise I'm not sure what else to tell you because you've listed everything else I would say! Haha best of luck :-)Www@Answer-Health@Com

here is my best remedy that helps me with the same problem!. go to your fridge, grab a banana and yogurt and milk (even strawberry and chocolate!) and then you can either take a heating pad or a bag of warm water (if you do the bag, like a target bag, then like triple it up in case it breaks!.) and lay down!. set it on your lower abdomen and eat your yogurt and banana and let those along with midol and sit back and watch some tv!. it should be gone real soon!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I KNOW! I asked my mom "why can't guys do this!?!!?" and she "because they are big baby's" lol!!! you can't stop the mood swings because that's just part of it!.!.!.all you can do is try to hold it in!.!.!.!.(which I suck at) :P
and eat all the choco you want! thats part of being a woman! thats our excuse for getting fat lol
it will be over soon but then it will start again!.!.!.!.!.sucky!.!.!.!.
all I can say is welcome to womanhood!

My friend used to have a horrible time with her period!. She would have horrible pain and sometimes pass out!.
Then her doctor prescribed her birth control pills!. She's not sexually active, she just takes them so that it stops her from ovulating!.

Maybe you should go to the doctor and ask if that will help you!.

Hope you feel better!Www@Answer-Health@Com

for me tylenol works best
and maybe get on yaz the birth control
its supposed to regulate your period and reduce the pain
but it doesnt work for everyone
like it didnt work for me
but it did for my sister
and DONT eat chocolate or like fatty inhealthy foodsWww@Answer-Health@Com

I just got my period today and trust me i feel the same way!. I feel a lot better now though!. Use heating pads, eat fruits and vegetables, take hot baths or showers, walk around and get exercise it helps, drink tons of water, and get some rest too!. Hope this helps! ^^Www@Answer-Health@Com

Are you on birth control!? I don`t know if it`s something you want to do but going on the pill makes periods way better!.
