I've seen some students hunched up in quite a bit of pain but this third-year HS student today just seemed unbelievable. Maybe she was trying to put on a display so that her HR teacher would let her go home, but she doesn't really strike me as the type to do that. From her moaning and bawling you'd think she had been stabbed in the gut. I've been around some women who've had the expression like they just desperately wish they could fast-forward life 24 hours, but never something like that. Can it really get that bad for some of them?

Yes.

Doesn't happen to everyone/every month, but the sharp stabbing pain can and does happen. Add in the fact that teenage girls tend to have a flair for the dramatic and you've got your answer!

Um, menstrual cramps are probably bad, but menstral craps are no walk in the park either, I'm sure!

Just joking YBS!!

Yes, it's possible.
I remember being on a field trip in high school and being completely nausious and doubled over in pain for hours. It can be quite intense. I remember it clearly because it was so severe. Luckily I never had it that bad again.

Yes, and the craps aren't far off either. In high school I'd become so nauseous from the pain I would throw up and have to call someone to take me home.

Eventually it became a bit more bearable, but the period cramps only stopped completely after childbirth. That's when I realized it is the same pain as the beginning signs of labor--the contraction of the uterus. It (labor) only gets worse from there and even comes shining thru the demerol.

I dont think those girls know of Midol either. It`s probably real unless she does it every English class...

i knew a girl whose cramps were so debilitatingly painful that her doc told her to take the pill and skip the placebos so she'd never menstruate.
this would go on for up to a year, then she'd go off for a month or two before going right back on.
other option was hysterectomy.

It's more than possible. I have a good friend who has to spend hours in bed when she's on her period and she just cries and cries. That's not that common at all, though. However, it isn't uncommon to get a sharp, stabbing pain during PMS or your period. After all, your uterus is shredding apart...

It's usually when they have have no menstrual cramps, or menstruation at all that a 17/18 year old cries out in agony.

It's happened to me. Also fainted on the train because the pain was so bad. Got driven home by a kind young couple from the train.

Of course, it may have come to her late, it's her first time and she's in a panic as well as in pain. Happened to my older sister (yes, she was 18 when she had her first), and a friend, who never got told what it was all about and thought she was bleeding to death.

Dang, that is funny. Men, P L E A S E... DON'T get drunk and shave!

It's the emotional/mental side of pms you really have to be ready for. Most women can handle a little pain. Growing up with sisters helps.

Have any gals here tried Seasonale? Or a quarterly period birth-control drug? I'd heard about it several years ago and have seen tv ads for it lately.
