How can I convince my mom to let me talk to my doctor about birth control?
The cramps I get are awful and prevent me from doing easy things, like unloading the dishwasher but she won't agree with me on it.

Try magnesium supplements. They help my sister with her cramps

How does that help?

I think it helps balance hormones or something. Here's something to look at:

@Rene1027: calcium and magnesium tablets along with some yogurt or milk (not fat free). This can really help.

Hold on, I just asked my sister about it and the thing that helps her with her cramps isn't the magnesium, after all. It's this product, called "Cramp Bark": http://www.iherb.com/pr/Eclectic-Institute-Cramp-Bark-2-fl-oz-60-ml/2815
She says it helps the cramps go away about 90%-95%.
The following is what my sister wrote for you:
"So I don’t know if this will work for everyone, but here’s what’s helped alleviate my cramps.
About a week before they usually start I drink tea that contains Yarrow Root throughout the day. I drink the Gypsy Cold Care herbal supplement, if you want you can get it on iHerb for $5.

Then, 3 days before the cramps start, I mix 15 drops of Cramp Bark into a glass of water. I do this for the 3 days before and on the day of. Personally, I’ve noticed the biggest difference from this supplement compared to everything else I’ve tried. I could actually walk and not be in constant agony! Haha.
