Why do I throw up on the first day of my period?

I've started my period in 6th grade. Ever since I have occationally puked on the first day of my period. I have to miss school, work, and family events sometiimes because I throw up.
What can I do??? And why is this happening???

It could be because of the hormone fluctuation that is causing you to vomit. It could also be from the pain caused by cramps...
it is pretty common to experience some nausea or vomiting during your period. The first few years I had my period I used to vomit..but eventually it just stopped..It may have been because I started taking the pill or because my hormones became more consistent.

Vomitting is not something I have experienced but I do usually get extreme nausea and so I would have thought it is caused by an imbalance in your hormones. Taking the pill can balance your hormones out which should stop the vomitting but there are other health risks involved so speak to your doctor about the pros and cons for you. Everyone is different and so it may or may not work. Hope this helps x

OMG!! I'm like that too!!... and I'm glad that I'm not the only one =) I really don't know the reason why... my doctor says that it's just a part of my PMS!! all girls are diffrent... some have horrible cramps (I get those!!), headaches, feel bloated, or like us...throw up!! I dunno if you have it where you live... but I use a pill called 'MIDOL' and it really works to take all your period symptoms away!! - try asking your doctor about it!!

hope I heleped =)

When your on your period your hormons are different than when your not. That is just your bodies way of getting used to your period coming.

my friend used to have symptoms like that and she went on the Pill and it helped her a lot and lightened her periods... which is always a plus. = ) talk to your gyno.

I did this too until I went on the pill at 18. It helped a lot with the side effects.
