    If it started today, it will probably end in about four or five days. Since it's the first, it might be shorter than that though. If you have cramps, take an advil or tylenol. Advil works best for bad cramps. If you have cravings, it might be your bodys way of telling you that you have a deficiency of some nutrients that may be necessary to proper menstruation. Don't worry, if you have any concerns or questions, talk to your mom or sister if you have one, or older friends who have a regular period :)
