anyhow, I'll be off when I go to Germany :D and I'll only have to remember to take one pill a day :p

Have a nice time wherever in Germany you are going to. Hope the weather is good.

Thanks :) I'm going to Berlin, visiting museums and stuff like that :)

A question - I started as normal, then took the pill (I've taken 2 now so far)...and..it's disappeared :p Is this what I'm meant to expect? The doctor said it would be lighter but...is it going to start up again for this month? Thanks in advance :)

You might find your period slightly erratic to be honest if its your first time at taking the pill. Hopefully it will all be ok for your Germany trip though.

The best thing i've found to use is Co-codamol. I have the WORST period pains...I started when I was 11, i'm 15 now and i'm thinking of going on the pill to help it. I sometimes have to have an odd day off school because the pain is soooo bad...I can barely stand up at times!

I'm on the pill, it really helps, you should talk to your doctor about it :)

Damp heat is very good, so wrap a damp teatowel round a hotwater bottle, lie on you back, put your feet against a wall, armrest etc., your legs should be at a 45 deg angle (i.e. knees pointing to the ceiling and soles of feet against wall, armrest etc. - does this make sense?) The pill helped reduce my pain a lot as well though.

This probably sounds a bit stupid, but being 15 would they give it to me?

Depends on your doctor, some doctors want parental permission before they prescribe but if you are suffering this badly, your doctor hopefully will if you want it.

I hope so! I think i'm gonna see how I go next month and then go to the doctor. Although she really is a waste of time so may consider going to a new one.

My friend was saying that she went to the doctor for the pill to help calm her period pains but they wouldn't give it to her, but they did prescribe her with something to help calm them down so if you aren't able to get the pill I'm sure they'd give you something else :)
