hello

i just joined this community... i'm not even on the rag... :) I'm 19, don't have very bad cramps, but have a sort of affection for Aunt Flo. (Am considering becoming an OB/GYN) I love to learn new things, and think it is great that is such a place to exchange ideas, emotions, and tips for us girls. Here's a tip for you girlies with extra-bad cramps (sorry is this has been posted before): Take ibuprophen a week BEFORE your period arrives and you will be amazed at the difference! I have a few girlfriends who swear by the raspberry tea mentioned below. As for myself, a steamy hot bath/shower or an hour with a heating pad work wonders for me.

Can't wait to read more from you all!
Ciao!

I've never heard of taking ibuprofen before a period. Hmmmm. :o)
