This thread is TMI, lol, and we don't care, lmao. Anywho...
The pill made my cycle shorter and lighter with less cramps. Now, I still have them, but I can live. Before, I was shut DOWN: no school, no work, just sleep. But now, I can go bike riding, horseback riding, lol, lemme stop. I stopped the pill, and started again, and my cycle is even SHORTER!! Originally, it was 7 days, cramps at least 5 of them. Then it was 5 days, cramps for 3. Now it's about 3-4 days (YAAAAAY!), but I still have cramps for about 3 days.
When I was in Spain, my senora made me drink warm milk (YUK) and she put a thin blanket on my lower stomach, and ironed it. Oh, it was heaven. Better than a heating pad.
What we NEED to figure out is a way to alleviate the PMS. Do you think that if the cramps were gone, the binchiness would leave too? Nah, I doubt it. I'm just irritable. I think it's the inconvenience of the whole thing. Gotta take longer in the shower (which I really don't mind, lol), gotta go to the potty more often in the day, can't crank. It really is an inconvenience (sp?). Thank goodness we can have kids from it, lol, otherwise, it'd be a str8 waste.
