nickieali	they only thing you can do for her is to stay out of her way and make sure she has Tylenol and a hot water bottle. there is nothing you can do for her this is a fact of life that she has to deal with on her own.. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

kitten4anutta	does she get this every month when she has her monthly, if she does i think she should ask her doctor for advice it not good to suffer like that every month.

Lisa P	Why not run her a nice bath and give her a hot water bottle and some TLC... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Baseball Lover	You sound like a very sweet boyfriend!!!!!! {hint don't give any female chocolates on there period. When any female is on there period there craving it, but it will just make there cramps worse!} Get her roses (any flowers she really likes) or you can rent a romantic movie so you guys can watch it together. One thing that can help her is soup, especially chicken noddle soup! I WISH YOU LUCK! P.S. get her some heating pads, you can find them in your local Drug store! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Co-Zee	Very sweet that you are so concerned! A hot water bottle, more choccies, some painkillers, running a hot bath for her, tucking her in bed and giving her a back Rub! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jessibabe1	get her a hot water bottle and just be there if she needs anything, Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Ginkgo	Yes! Show her that you care enough about her to learn how her body works and that now you know more about her body than she does. Then you can teach her how to get rid of her cramps naturally based on scientific research. See site below. http://www.phifoundation.org/menses.html P.S. She will then love you forever. Also she will brag to her friends about you and how you changed her life. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

acharles1013	You could get her disposable heating pads and cramping pills to show her that you understand what she needs to get better Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

lynn	get her a hot water bottle. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

fozmonkey	Hot water bottle always works for my g/friend. I have heard that taking Oil of Evening Primrose (see your local Holland & barrett) can reduce the discomfort of periods, although I could not say for sure if it works. May be worth a few brownie points though - tell her you have done some research!!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Witchy_girl	awww, how sweet uhm...rent a good romanch movie, snuggle up w/ her and some yummy food and get here some midol if she approves Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

cherub	be patient and loving and caring. be realistic too, cos she might get used to chocs and it could get a bit expensive! Patience is the best thing you can have at this time. If you fuss too much she may get really ratty on you from her hormones. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

drswansondds	I can't believe i'm answering.... sigh. SOME women feel footrubs relieve cramps. There aren't many women that don't like footrubs! However, she may be happier to just not have you around, I'm sad to say.... :( Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ASHLEY D	You are so sweet, most guys blow it off like girls are making it up. I know backrubs and hot drinks always make me feel better. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

maria bartoninfrance	Hot water bottle or heat pad and lots of love. Don't get mad at her, these things hurt like hell and she may say things she doesn't mean. She will appreciate you just for being there for her, but don't crowd her, she feels lousy and needs to be able to wallow in a little self pity. If they are that bad offer to take her to the Drs to see if they can help. Apart from that just carry on being as wonderful as you are.Good luck and thank you from women everywhere! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Elizabeth L	Aww, how sweet! Buy her a heating pad. Chocolate is nice, but not the best idea for cramps. Just being nice to her would be enough for me, but go to a health food store and buy her some herbal tea (forgot what kind, but they should be able to help you with that) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Strawberry Tart	i would leave it at that or shes gonna excpect this treatment every month. you obviously love her and shes lucky. maybe you could give her the odd stomach massage and bar of chocolate but she can't excpect special treatment for going throught the norm. not meaning to sound insensitive. i get bad cramps. but you gotta forget about them and get on with your life. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Roz M	How nice of you! Remember that if she snaps at you it isn't your fault, it just is so terrible for her. A Gentle massage, if she wants one, a casual stroll in the fresh air can help cramps, something like a good DVD to watch. Or, sadly if she's anything like me, she may want to creep off and quietly sulk on her own for a day or two, be there for her afterwards with your normal kind personality and don't take it as a snub. I'm sure that you're the kind of person that'll give her what she needs to feel better fast, even if it is just pain killers, that's why she chose you. (Have you got a brother?) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

gooner1972	my mrs is the same each month. give her a massage. goto lush get a massage bar. or buy some aromatherapy oils. massage works wonders. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

fernmaid	a hot water bottle to hold against her tummy and a couple of Paracetamol! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Brandi G	awww that's really sweet. you could do simple things by giving her midol or a heating pad. or run her a hot bath, stuff that will get rid of her cramps. or you could just lie with her in bed and relax her as much as possible and ask if she needs anything. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

BJ	get her some midol or pamprin give her a heating pad for her tummy give her a nice back massage Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

extremely_confused	Get her a hot water bottle and nurofen. And give her plenty of tlc Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

xkelx_xx	run a hot saopy bath for her it helps relaxin in a hot bath it nice of you to care try that anyways Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

gingey10	I get this real bad too and end up crying on the floor and my boyfriend is an angel when i get this. The best thing you can do for her is to run her a nice hot bubble bath and put some candles around the bath to relax her a little and when she gets out give a hot water bottle to put around her tummy as the heat will ease the pain alot. Just make sure you give her lots of cuddles and kissed on her forehead and cheeks as i feel this shows a real sign of affection and love. My partner always does that to me and when he does for some reason it makes me really feel like he loves and me and just feels so affectionate. You could also rub her tummy gently for her. But to be honest i think the fact that you have posted this question on yahoo is enough to show her that you love her because even afer a week you are trying to find a way to make her feel better and asking how you can show her that you love her when she needs it the most. Your a role model to men and a true diamond. your girlfriend is very lucky to have found a man that is so caring as you. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

myheartisjames	aren't you the sweetest......most understanding man alive... most guys are just mad they can't get laid during that time period...let alone think of the woman and what they can do for her! way to go! i think you've already got this covered...a card...some flowers...always chocolate (unless she thinks she is fat).... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ourjacobdavid	How sweet! Well, dark chocolate is best, lots of water, hot green teas, massages, heating pad for the stomach, and back, let her detressed, midol for cramps and headaches, and pms, veggies, and fruits, increased on red meat and protein, stretches, pep music, She can do for herself, but the massage you can do, rub her back, don't push for goiong out, watch a movie and popcorn and have a in night time. Hope this help. Will you go get her so female stuff at the store when she is out of them or not able to shop? My husband did, and it really makes a big difference of the trust issue.
