[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had severe cramps in HS and would even vomit and passed out a couple of times.  Have her evaluated by an OB and either get on BC or at least some pain meds for when they get bad.[/quote]

+1  I missed school the first day of my period every month until my parents got me on BC.

My DD was experiencing the same symptoms that I got to witness first hand because of distance learning last year.  We tried to manage it with Ibuprofen for over a year but she was still missing school.  We went to her NP for her 13 year check up and we got her on BC.  All cramping and other symptoms have disappeared.

Why put her through the misery of menstrual cramps if you can avoid it?  BC is safe and effective for the vast majority of women.  [/quote]

My experience was similar.  My daughter would have cramps and nausea - and also sometimes threw up the first day of her period.  I declined the birth control option when she was 13 as I just couldn't imagine it, but changed my mind a year later as I was concerned about missing classes in high school.  The oral contraceptives helped immensely and while she still had cramps, she could function. [/quote]
