I dug up this thread because I'm having a horrible period. Uggh. I just went back on birth control after being off of it for a year (had irregular periods through the whole year) and boy...this regular period business is annoying! And painful! I've always had terrible cramps and right now they're really getting the best of me. I took some Aleve and may have to take some more later (I'm allowed up to six tablets a day according to my doctor). I wish I had time to lay around with my heating pad but I have class in less than an hour and another class a couple hours after that--THEN I have to drive five hours to my parents' house. But when I get home my mother will pity me and make me toast and tea and put me to bed with the heating pad and the dog. At least these cramps aren't as bad as the ones I had when I was 13-14--I'd be in so much pain it would make me physically ill.
Hopefully the longer I'm on this birth control the more the cramps will subside with each period. And at least I managed to get laid last night before all of this started...I think the post-orgasmic bliss is what kept me cramp-free all night after my period did start. So there are things to be thankful for.
Thank you for letting me whine.
