I'm giving it a try being off the Pill for a while, since for the past year I have been on three different kinds and none did what I wanted them to do, which was make the cramps go away!
Evil-TriCyclen...oh, sorry, it's Ortho-TriCyclen, made me break out like I've never broken out before in my life. It's not supposed to, and it didn't for the first year, but it eventually started to. Plus, I got hot flashes and I was extremely moody. So the doctor put me on Demulen, which he said would fix the acne
and the cramps. It didn't. I got breakouts worse than before. So then I went to a new doctor, and she gave me Yasmin. It was a lot better, but very expensive so I quit taking it last month. She also gave me some Retin-A to fix my skin, and so far it's working a dream...that's why I'm sort of wary of pills for the moment. I guess if the cramps get bad again, I'll just go back to taking five Advils and curling up in bed like I did before.
