Hi! My name is Autumn and I'm 12 years old. I got my period, a little less then a year ago. I don't know my cycle yet, for I am irregular. I usally have my period for 2 weeks. Having my period sucks. I get diahrreah. I also feel drained for the amout of blood that comes out. I get extremely heavy loads. I also feel like fainting for about the first 3 days. I have fainted once. Its just horrible. I can't participate in gym, or anything. And my cramps!....omg that's a whole new different story! My cramps can last a whole day without stopping. Its horrible. The motron pain relievers work, but my dad doesn't like me using them. My doctor said shed think about if birth control pills are okay for me. While I wait, I need some advice. What should I do to feel better when I'm on my period? I got my period today, so it would be great if someone can tell me some ways to eaze off the cramps, and everything. Much apreciated. Thanks!
