Hi honey.......Oftentimes some girls will have terrible cramps while others breeze through their periods.
You didn't mention if you flow heavy or light, or if there are clots in your blood or not. So, I'll try and address them all.
You can always see a GYN during your period or otherwise.
If you are bleeding light, your uterus is trying to "push" out the blood....especially if you have clots. If you are bleeding heavily (most of us do on our second-third day especially), and have thick dark clots, it means the blood is not flowing very fast and it is staying too long in the uterus and clotting then your uterus has to push hard to get them out.
Either way, stock up on ibuprofen (Motrin) over the counter.
Buy the generic. It will be next to the brand name Motrin.
Motrin used to be a prescription pain reliever. Now you can buy it over the counter. They come in 200 mg. tablets.
Motrin, like asprin, will thin your blood naturally a bit. Motrin, like asprin, is an analgesic, which means it's medicine will go directly to the pain. Tylenol is absolutely no good for this kind of pain.
They used to prescribe Motrin for a girl when I was young and she had painful cramps. Works wonders!!!!
So buy some Motrin....take 2 tablets, maybe 3. You may want to eat a little something with them. Sometimes they cause an upset stomach in some folks.
You may find only 2 tabs will stop the pain all day. Then again, you may want to repeat them in 4 hours. But really, that may be all you need. They will do wonders for you!!!!
If not, see your GYN about it. Maybe there is something else out there that is used these days.
Good luck

Have you asked your mom what you can do? Have you tried taking period meds?
If your cramps are that severe, I would suggest going to the doctor. There are things they can do to make them better! I used to have horrible cramps, and went on the pill. Worked amazingly, but it did take a little time to work. With severe pain like that, it can also be a sign of endometriosis, which can be serious if left untreated. Give the gyno a call and make an appointment. It's definately worth it. There is nothing worse than being in agony once a month.
it's not going to be a for sure thing if you can get into seeing a gyno tomorrow but you should think of making an appointment...like not to sound weird but do you have heavy periods. maybe you should go on birth control to control your periods better....maybe you should be taking something to ease the pain.....talk to your mom about it and maybe she can make an appointment for you...
