period sickness

so my period is starting tomorrow :frown:

for some reason for the past few periods when i wake up in the morning i need to be sick. i don't know why. a few periods ago i spoke to a gp who said i need to exercise etc. which i've been doing and eating a lot more healthier which has fortunately reduced the cramping :smile:

but it's like as soon as i get up and move around for a bit i immediately feel sick. or after i have breakfast i feel sick. and if i'm not sick/gagging at some point during the first day i either feel faint or i'm sick on the second day.
it's so exhausting to deal with. i don't want to waste my gp's time either so i'm not sure what to do about it.

any advice? should i take some painkillers? the cramps are usually quite bad but i can deal with it however the sickness makes me skip school and tuition and it's very inconvenient so plsssss help meeeee girlsss or anyone with medical knowledge idrc im just dreading waking up tomorrow i hate my periods smmm they make me so unhappy

Hi I have similar symptoms too! I get this occasionally on my period then in general life lol.
Firstly get another GP appointment - mine referred me to have a scan and it turns out I have cysts on my ovaries. Also my doctor gave me anti-sickness tablets that I take whenever I need them.

I've had something similar in the past and the pill has fixed all my issues. Speak to your doctor again and ask to try it, it might just change you life like it has mine!

How are you wasting their time? You have a health problem. They are there to make it better. Make an appointment on Monday.

Try having a cereal bar by your bed and eat it before you get out of bed. Then just get up slowly and take a painkiller. Try not to move too fast or make sudden movements.

Keep your mind off it I know that sounds so stupid but I just stick on a film from the moment I wake up to the moment I go out. Take things slow too - that helps me. Have a hot water bottle and if you have any, eat mints.

No problem :smile:

I did things like that and even though it didn't make the issue go away it definitely made it better.

I had experiences really similar! I went on Yasmin pill and it eliminated all of that. I’ve now changed to Mirena IUD, and I’ve found that I’m starting to get nauseous again near the time that I would get a period. Maybe it could be a hormonal imbalance? Speak to your GP 🙂
