Period question! Help??

Question

Okay, so, I keep getting really heavy periods, so heavy my pad becomes off black red in less than half an hour. But where are the cramps? Everyone I know who have really heavy periods say they get extremely bad cramps, so bad they have to stay home from school. So, this is unusual, but I wanna know why that is? Am I just extremely lucky?

Answer 1

its not unusual... i dont have cramps.... maybe ur body doesnt want u to have cramps... think on the positive side...LESS PAIN 4 U!!!

Answer 2

hey! im the same, not that heavy like reg. heavy i think you might be really lucky! some of my friends don't get heavy periods and they tell me that they  cramp alot! lol us lucky gals :D

Answer 3

yes, you are lucky. it is normal for other girls not to have cramps during their period. but don't worry, you just might have cramps someday. every period is different, so don't worry too much

Answer 4

My periods are the EXACT same way. Don't worry, it's normal. I don't get cramps either (well, usually and if I do they aren't that bad). You are lucky, don't worry it's normal.

Answer 5

Sometimes if you just started your period for the first time, it may take a few years before you start to get cramps. Or you might be lucky and never get cramps. Count your blessing that you don't have them now. If your blood flow is really heavy all of the time, I would tell your doctor/gyn. about it. Maybe they can help.

Answer 6

Yeah, it sounds like you are lucky in the cramp department.  Everybody's period and symptoms are different.

Answer 7

well that usually happens to girls that just got there periods. they start heavy and no cramps. but it changes there will be a time that you begin to cramp. if not then your can be lucky!!(:

Answer 8

YES!! I hardly ever get cramps myself (at least not the really bad ones where I cant go to work!). Its okay, and you Should consider yourself Lucky!!

As far as the heavy flow thing... if you start saturating (soiled with blood!) more than 3 pads in 1 hour then you should call a nurse hotline or see  your OB.

Take Care!! =)

Answer 9

i would say so but it's not TOO hard to believe...some ppl just are just heavier but i think if ur more active u are less likely to get cramps...  

Answer 10

Actually some women dont have any cramps at all. Dont worry..youre fine.  I'm almost 21 and have never have terribly bad cramps.
