Hey all, so I just got back from a trip to the E.R., where they had to give me morphine to stop my menstrual cramps. Several people, including the E.R. nurse and doctor, told me I should consider taking the Pill to help with cramps. I've had bad luck in the past (about 4 - 6 years ago) with mood swings, breast tenderness, and/or even worse stomach and menstrual cramps.
about 5 or 6 years ago i tried the Pill (Ortho-tricycline, I think, but not sure) - HORRIBLE issues with mood swings and irritibility.
4 years ago I tried the ortho-evra patch - no mood swings but bad menstrual cramps, nearly constant stomach cramps, and breast swelling and tenderness (took it for 3 months, these didn't significantly decrease).
Has anyone who is sensitive to BC had good luck with some of the low-dose pills or other options? Since I'm just using it for cycle control/cramps, not as a contraceptive, I want to minimize the side effects.
