Teenage Girl suffering terrible period pain

[Yorkshiregirlatheart]

Hi
New to MN never used it before so bare with me...
My dd is 15 and has had periods for 5 years now and since she started having them she's sufferer really bad period pain. Really bad cramps till she cries and she has migraines/headaches with them+vomiting and diarrhoea.I regularly give her tablets paracetamols etc.. And hear pads or a hot water bottle. She has time off school because she feels so weak and I'll.I've taken her to the doctors and they recommend tablets etc or the mini pill.i am totally against her using the mini pill or anything alike. So I'm just wondering if there's any doctors/nurses or parents to anybody who have any hints tips on how to relieve he pain that restricts her doing so much every month. Plus she is going to boarding next week (weekly) at pocklington school and I don't want her in pain.
Hints/tips welcome

Some months she misses her periods and other months she light other months she's heavy...

OP.

I can't help feeling that you have changed your story in response to the response you've received re being Catholic and against the contraceptive pill options.

Firstly you say that you are "totally against her using the mini pill or anything alike".

You follow this up with "I'm catholic so don't believe in it".

Then you switch to telling us that you've asked your dd if she wants to go on the pill but that she is against the it.

I realise that you want help for your daughter but you will find that your Church is not against your dd receiving medical help for her condition in the form of a tablet that also has contraceptive properties. It is her family that is against it. Maybe it's actually your husband or other family members and not you, perhaps that is why you are tying yourself in knots here with your conflicting posts.

Please help your daughter get the treatment she needs. She needs you to stand up for her and ensure she does this without feeling it's all a guilty little secret.

I'm sorry but do not tell me family member are controlling me. And as for my husband he died before my dd was born.and no it's not a guilty little secret.im perfectly capable of being a good mother. Read this carefully my dd does not want to take the pill IT IS HER OWN CHOICE TOO regardless if my opinion I would stand by her in what she wanted to do she was offered the pill at 12 and I said NO as it has become worse over the years and after trips to the doctors I have asked her about the pill and she doesn't want to take it.its her choice too!!!!

It is likely she is influenced by your feelings. Perhaps some independent information from a good medical website or from a professional would put the information in a medical context and then she would find it easier to make a fully informed decision. The pain must be so hard for her to deal with - I would find it hard to go against medical advice in such a case.

Metfemic acid is ok but needs to be taken ahead of time and requires organisation and some regularity in her cycle. At her age it is important she isn't missing school.

The other thing is that if her cycle coincides with her GCSE exams, - and they take place over several weeks - she is likely to be unable to take them so some reliable method needs to be in place. I suffered as a girl, a long time ago now, and, before taking the pill ( It was a further 4 years before I needed it as a contraceptive) one of the hardest things was worrying about when my period would next arrive - what would I be doing? Would I faint in public or with no one around to help?

I would think that catholic doctrine would be ecstatic over a woman who is not only suffering pain in childbirth but also every month. How's that for punishment for original sin?

If she chooses not to try the pill (and I can't understand why an intelligent woman wouldn't) then acupuncture worked for me.

Would your DD be willing to see a gynaecologist?. Her symptoms certainly warrants further investigation by such a person.

I am catholic and on the pill. I did use it as contraception but I don't anymore as I'm not in a relationship. I use it as hormone control because I have hideous periods.
I am 40 and have been having periods since I was 11. I get terrible pain for days before my period, I get migraines, I have diarrhoea and some months I vomit. The pill has helped a lot. I still suffer but not as much as I used to.
