I personally hate them. For the first three days of my period, I live on Ibuprophen and Midol. They're that bad.
Some of my friends get sick.

I usually don't get bad cramps, just a sort of dull, persistent ache in my lower back. There was only one time that I had really bad cramps, in 7th grade. I wanted to cry at that time. But since then, I've been lucky enough to have mild to no cramps.

The only time I really got bad cramps was my first time. It was on picture day and I had to go home early because they hurt so much. Since then it's only slight pain or none at all.

My cramps are just weird little uncomfortable pains. |

Period cramps can get pretty bad, but they're not nearly as bad as cramps from a miscarriage--worst cramps ever.

Sometimes I'm bed-ridden for a day because of cramps. I literally cannot move; absolute agony. It's something to do with being on a 35 day cycle (5 weeks instead of the more regular 4 weeks).
Electric blankets and hot water bottles work wonders though.

Ooooooouuuuuccccch Sarah
 Whenever I do get cramps they're usually really bad ones, too. I don't know if I'd rather get light cramps than go a long while without having them and then getting really bad ones. |

I haven't had cramps the past few months but when I did get them they were HORRIBLE. I used to have to go home early from school because I couldn't concentrate and they hurt so bad. I take ibuprofen, lay in bed with a heating pad, listen to music, and try to find a comfortable position to sleep in (usually involves curling up in a ball) and sometimes i would puke just because I got so shaky from them.
Guys have nothing to complain about. |

i pretty much never get cramps, and don't really have any other side effects. but lately, i think due to college stress, i've been getting a dull ache in my abdomen whenever i get my period.

I get cramps on the second day of my period. Midol is my best friend during that day. :(
