Girls ONLY!!!!! ?

Question

I have my period right now and i have really bad cramps all day. well i have gymnastics tonight and all u do is jumping around and flips in the air. my mom said that i should just take tylenol and ill be fine. Should i skip gymnastics tonight or go anyways?

Answer 1

Exercise always helps. Take two tylenol about 15 minutes before gymnastics so it'll kick in just in time for all the flipping around :P Stretching always helps me with cramps. Try some yoga or cardio. If it hurts so bad you can't move (I had to sleep on the kitchen floor once) then I would suggest staying home. Hope I helped!

Answer 2

You should go anyways and take two tylenol extra strength ..my cramps usually go away when i run around too......

Answer 3

Take the Tylenol and see if it helps first.

If you don't feel better by tonight, skip it.  

Answer 4

yes you should its not healthy to have your period and do gymnastics well thats what i heard lol i was tempted to click sorry

Answer 5

Try to keep on your feet and do what you can to keep moving. Generally that will help. If it doesn't, it would be a good idea to skip practice because you will be miserable!

For future reference, I found that if I start taking aleve the day before my period starts, I have little to no cramps once I start bleeding. It saves my life! If I forget to take the drugs the day before, I'm completely useless when my period comes. ...I guess this method only works if you are regular enough and you can predict when your period will start,

Answer 6

Make sure you stay hydrated, that's important to.

Also try an herbal tea. My favorite is mint, there are therapeutic qualities with mint that helps with cramping. If you don't have mint tea at home you can add a drop or two of mint flavor oil that your mom might have in the cupboard.

You should go to gymnastics it is better for you to stay active. Unless your cramps are so bad you don't feel like you can walk etc. It is better to work yourself through it though.

Good luck!!

Answer 7

Take a Midol, and hope that helps.

If it doesn't, then that'll suck but I say you should still go to practice.

Welcome to the once a month rest of your life btw(:
