If I've never thrown up yet from menstrual cramps, does that mean I won't cuz it doesn't effect me that way?

Question

I am a huge emetophob (fear of vomiting) and this time around I cannot take advil for my period. Is it common to vomit from menstrual cramps? If I never did before I started taking advil, does it just mean it doesn't effect me that way?

Any natural remedies?

Thank you.

Could be a mild case of TSS. TSS casses are seriously undereported.I'd suggest switching to menstrual cups and cloth pads. Changed my life!! I've been using them for a couple months and I haven't experienced one cramp yet!

Every woman is different when it comes to their period. If you've never gotten sick before then it is a good chance that your period does not effect you in that way. Lucky you that is.

Hope that helped

I've never heard of a women vomiting from mestrual cramps. I've heard of women becoming nauseous, but not throwing up.
