Oh man, I am so sorry. My cramps are really bad too, they reduce me to a crying little ball of pain. And to everyone writing the 'suck it up' comments, my guess is that you're guys. All of you should try getting kicked in the balls with a steel-toed boot. For four hours straight. THEN, if you manage to get up and go about your daily life as this is happening, you can say 'suck it up'.

yeah anyone saying suck it up probably never experienced ones that bad. they're all either guys or girls who don't get bad cramps. when i get mine i can't go to school or walk or eat or move at all and i lay in bed all day and cry sometimes. and that's WITH pain medication. my friend has them so bad that she got prescribed mild opiates. and she's still in excrutiating pain. so i can definately sympathize. i hope you feel better soon!

first off no im not a woman i wouldnt know how menstrating feels BUT. to add a little humor to all these "ohhh honey i know how you feel! my cramps are so bad i gotta stufff 50 tampons up my pusseh during my period to stop my monsterous flow" comments, you just turned 21. go get LEGALLY ****** up out of your mind and that pain just might stop/ease :D

#3 she said first day not first period in general

This is why I'm glad I'm not a woman.

I'm a woman, I've had my period since I was 9 (I'm 22) and I say: suck it up.

How in the world is this a YDI?

This is one well written FML. Thanks for not being retarded, and sorry, that you're a woman.

thats a little late isnt it?

How are you even able to type on a computer right now? When I get cramps, I lie down and try to sleep it all away. Happy birthday, though!
