Wondering how you can make your time of the month not as bad? Here are a few tips and tricks that may end up being your saving grace.

If you have an irregular period, make sure you keep a diary or mark your calendars when you start your cycle. Each day give it a rating 1-5 on your symptoms and flow. This will help with future doctor appointments as well as give you a piece of mind when you are irregular.

Increase your water intake! This can help lighten your flow and also prevent nausea and headaches.

Warm baths are a blessing! Not only does the heat help with cramps but it’s an excuse for people to give you your alone time.
