Menstruation on family vacation???!
Question: Menstruation on family vacation!?!?!?
I'm a teenager with a very short menstrual cycle!. It generally lasts about 23-25 days, and because the universe is being a dooodoo head, I'm going to have my period right when I go on my family vacation with my parents!. My cramps last about a day and a half and are so bad that I usually throw up about 5 times, and lock myself in the bathroom!. My sister is an OBGYN doctor and I asked her if she could do anything for me, but unfortunately she said since we're related, the only thing she could do is to write a perscription to stop my nausea!. I do wear tampons, but it's still uncomfertable to swim with them because of all the pressure on my abdomen!. What can I do to make my period less severe while on vacation!? Birth control is very unrealistic because
1!. There isn't enough time to start a birth control regiment before I leave
And
2!. My parents!.
I feel like the nausea perscription will help, but I still want to be able to go swimming and go for hikes and what not!. Any help!?!?!?!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
If you see your doctor, you can get norethisterone tablets!. You only need to start taking them three days before you're due, and it will delay your period until you stop taking them!.
It is NOT a contraceptive, so your parents won't need to be concerned!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ugh, getting your period on a vacation is the worst!
For the cramps, make sure you have lots of naproxin (midol) and also, do some stretching exercises- lay on your bed with your head or your legs hanging off the side so you stretch your abdominal muscles!.
for the first few days of my period, I try just wearing a heavy, overnight pad during the day (uncomfortable I know) that way everything just empties faster than with a tampon!.
I know swimming is a pain (sometimes literally) but if you get the chance, put in a tampon and get in a hot tub for a while!. If there is no hot tub, just get in the pool and relax, water is really a wonder cure!.
Let your mom know that you are going to have that one day of bad cramps, and perhaps they will plan to do something lite that day, like sticking around the hotel and relaxing!.
Also, go see another OBGYN once you get back, and hopefully they can give you some tips so that you can prevent this in the future!.
I hope you have as much fun as you can!
