Girls eyes only please... I need help!

Ok guys aren't going to want to read this most likely, but if you do youve been warned.





I came down with a horrible flu today. I can't get out of bed, ive thrown up for the past 4 hours, and to top it all off I have a band trip to Rome I'm going on tomorrow, meaning 15 hours on a plane..

My questions are the following...

This is about the time i usually get my monthly.
Even if this has never happened before, could that be a cause of this 'flu'?

Or...

Ive also read before that if you have a cold or a flu coming on before your monthly has arrived you won't get your monthly until your body is finished fighting off the cold/flu whatever it may be.


Do either of these sound like they could be what is going on? Or what do you think.

I feel awful.


Thanks,

Shannie

Hmm.
I'm not sure.

I've never really gotton a bad flu like you are describing before mine.
But I was a little sick [Like a small cold] one week when mine was suppose to come and it didn't until the cold was gone.
It might hold it off but I'm not entirely sure.

Sorry that I'm not much of help.
But good luck! Get Better! And have fun in Rome!

It could definately be your period. I always get flu like symptons before mine (nausea, muscle fatigue, dizzyness, fainting spells etc). Its always happened for me though.

I've also never skipped or had a delayed period because of the flu. But if you are still feeling sick tomorrow, I suggest you heavily medicate yourself. I had the flu, broncitus, and my period 2 years ago when i went on a school trip to Italy and everything was so much worse on the plane. It didn't help that the plane was filled with a lacrosse team (they were hot, but LOUD). My teacher finally gave me some kind of meds before our connecting flight and I slept like a baby on it.

Good luck travelling tomorrow! And have fun in Italy! Its one of the most gorgeous places in the world, you're going to have a blast! Are you only going to Rome? I'm so jealous, I haven;t been in like 2 years

EA: Duh, I forgot. It is impossible for your period to be delayed, so unless you ovulated late your period should come on time.

i always get fainting spells before my period. sometimes i get sick and might throw up. i really just depends on the person.

i will tell you though that having your period being nauseous and being on a plane at the same time is probably the *worst* feeling in the world. (but like i said before, everyone's different) make sure you sit by the asile so if we need the bathroom for any reason, you dont have to bother the other people.

have fun in rome!!! and feel better, and being heavily medicated is probably not a bad idea to help you through the plane flight.

A couple weeks ago I had the stomach flu (AKA fatigue, nausea, throwing up, cramps, etc) but I also got my period the next day.

Make sure you're not contagious before you get on that plane. =)
