2055843 tn?1332427915 Hello- I'm not sure how old you are but I'm 27 and have had/have the same types of cramps that you do. I believe the medical term for it is dysmenorrhea. As for it being normal...ehh lol, I guess it's "normal" as in it happens to many women and isn't usually life threatening in any way. However, my personal opinion is that normal isn't always good, and this is one of those cases.
Avatar f tn I get such severe menstrual cramps every month and it's unbearable.. I started this morning and have already taken my prescription pain medication, but it's not working. I'm wearing a heating pad which slightly helps. I do all the "home remedies", though I'm still in pain! What else can I do for pain management?? I have an appointment with my gyno in a week and a half, but today and tomorrow I have the extreme pain and want to do something to stop it now. Any ideas?
Avatar f tn I never needed it but for the first two days of my period. Advil is not a pain reliever or pain medicine, it is a muscle relaxer, basically. In other words, it blocks the prostaglandin that cause muscles to cramp, so they don't cramp. That's why it is so good for menstrual cramps. I don't recommend pain pills or opiates for period pain, but Advil can be just the thing.
Avatar f tn This is my very first pregnancy. I am six weeks as of today. This being my first pregnancy I am naturally a worry wart about EVERYTHING I'm experiencing. I was told cramps will be normal, but I am curious as to who else has had these. They feel just like I'm about to start a menstrual cycle but only last for a minute then go away for a few hours or even a day. Anybody else going through this? Should I be concerned? or am I just over thinking things?
1267061 tn?1271122594 I am 34 weeks and have been getting menstrual like cramps around 31 weeks. At 32 weeks they were so bad at one point I called my OB because they were coming quite frequently. I sat down and drank some water and they only came again every now and then. They told me it was just Braxton Hix and nothing to worry about unless they became regular and/or more than four in an hour after I got off my feet. Does your whole belly tighten up when it happens?
1395422 tn?1308016251 Everyone woman knows what a menstrual cramp is. It may come as a surprise to many that menstrual cramps have another name. The medical term for these abdominal and pelvic pains is “dysmenorrhea”. More than 50% of women are affected each month by a certain degree of dysmenorrhea, and 15% of those women are experiencing severe cramping. Isn’t this PMS?
Avatar f tn Hello everyone! I have a question about menstrual cramps, and any help would be appreciated. I have been suffering extremely painful cramps for years now, ever since I got my first period when I was 13. I'm currently 18 and am going off to college very soon, but I have no idea how to deal with these cramps that incapacitate me for an entire day. My cramps get so bad that I usually faint. For example, when I was around 14 my period came in the morning but I still went to school.
Avatar f tn Hi im 31 weeks and having from time to time very bad cramping almost like what i would think to be start of contraction feelings. Is there any way to help them go away naturally i could try?
Avatar f tn I'm 20 weeks. And these past couple of days I've been getting menstrual cramps and some type of pain (feels like needles poking me) inside my vagina and lower back pain. Should I be worried? I had an appt today but it was so quick like 5 min. He didn't even measure her. I'm switching to a midwife. It's a bearable pain but I just want to be sure its nothing.
Avatar f tn m 40 years old, and judging by my older sisters and mother, I likely have another 11-12 years before menopause. Over the last year or two, my menstrual cramps have gotten much worse. I get chills and shakes, aches in my joints, nausea, headache, and massive cramps. I've tried heating pads, lots of fluids, bed rest, Aleve, and other OTC pain relief. I went to see a new midwife for my last annual about 18 mo ago and forgot to mention it to her, then felt embarrassed to call in about it.

1161702 tn?1277413731 I have been going through this since I was 12 and I'm 18 now. That is way too long for me.

I have really bad cramps too...After the second day of my menstrual with the vomitting and stuff, I'm usually pretty okay. But my cramps last just about my whole period, my period is 7 days and I cramp for like 4/5 days striaght.

Avatar f tn Hello. I'm 22 years old and for the last few years (since about 16), I've been getting cycles that last from 3-4 months. During this time the pain is so horrible that I can't even move without screaming. Also, I've been getting blood clots the size of my fist, sometimes larger. I will tell you I'm still a virgin. Plus when my period finally leaves, I still get cramps and bloating that hurt tremendously, and I get full at meals very quickly.
Avatar f tn I have been having menstrual like cramps for over an hour. They arent getting worse just dull and annoying. Has anyone else had this problem?
1882836 tn?1324024086 (The first IUI was apparently succesful but it seems I had a very early (day 10) miscarriage). We treid naturally in Nov. Since my last period I was feeling unusually tired and just "odd" I origanlly thought I may be aneamic and went to see my doc. We did a range of bllod tests (not aneamic!). She also did a blood pregnancy test which cme out as negative 3 weeks after my last menstrual cycle. However, I have not menstruatated since and my period is about 1 week late!!
