I take the calcium supplements leading up to my period. I've tried cutting back on all of the foods they say you should cut back on while on your period. I've tried Naproxen Sodium. I've tried Extra Strength Tylenol. I've tried the pain killers and bloat medications made exclusively for menstrual cramps and bloating. I've tried the heating pad, the hot water bottle, hot baths, exercise, and just about everything else that I can think of. I usually get cramps so bad at least one day of my period that I end up in bed all day with strong prescription pain killers, just to keep from going crazy on myself.

Anyone know of anything that works for their severe period cramps that I may not have mentioned as things I've tried? I'm willing to try just about anything that doesn't involve needles, isn't illegal, and it can't be Motrin (I'm allergic). Open to all suggestions.

I have been told both at separate times. I know it's not tall. I am just confused on whether or not I'm at average height. By the way, I love my height so I'm not fishing for compliments or advise to make myself taller.

I have just about all of the symptoms of Endometriosis. the pain started in my mid-teens>>two years after starting my puberty; I first had a my period at age 14. And from 16 up to 22 my pain has increased and my periods became very irregular. Im starting to have nausea with my period. And I have a little bit of nausea between periods. Nothing helps me. My perscribed medication doesnt work. My pain lasts for 2 to 3 days. A scalding hot- bath which used to stop the pain at the first day doesnt work no more...period. I've tried to find gynecologist in my area that accepts medicaid and they dont. Im low on money. I really dont want to go to a clinic because all they'll do is get me on birth-control...which I've tried before getting a cardiologist' approval>>doesnt ease the pain. And I heard that birth control only stops it from getting worse...you see, I dont want to do that. I just want it gone and hoping that I can still have kids.

I asked this question a couple months ago, but nothing has really changed. I started taking birth control to manipulate my period, so that I'm not on it for my wedding and honeymoon. But I'm still bleeding a lot. It's so frustrating, because there's no rhyme or reason when it happens. Sometimes it'll be like a normal period for a few days, and then other days it'll be light. But we're talking like 20 days out of a month (not all in a row). Part of me wants to just get off it, and deal with having my period then. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm on orthotricyclen. I'm so frustrated, I just want to cry sometimes....

For years now I've been attempting to use tampons, but they've always been horribly uncomfortable and hurt so much that I can't leave them in. All the women/friends I asked about it said that I didn't insert it far enough, which was a good enough answer for me.

After having sex for the first time, I decided to try again, with much better results in the middle of my flow. However, the next time I tried, I felt the same discomfort as before. Since I'm not used to using a tampon, I started with "slim" and "light" styles, so it's definitely not that. Any ideas on what's up?

I'm an 18 year old female and lately I am never in the mood for sex. And when I try to have sex, thinking that will get me in the mood, it just hurts or its uncomfortable like I am really dry (even tho I know I am wet--sorry if that's gross). I'm on Ortho Tricyclen Los and have been for 4 years and this has never happened before. I'm with a steady boyfriend and I have no worries. Although lately I've been insecure cuz I don't feel sexy enough or whatever (I'm not fat but I feel like I could lose some 5-10lbs--Im 5'6" and 120lbs). I used to be able to look at porn and get totally turned on but that don't work anymore. I've masturbated and it takes me forever, if at all, to come now. Me and my bf are going to get the keys to our new place this weekend so maybe I'm stressing out? I'm afraid I'm a 45 year old woman stuck ina young looking body. How the hell can I get my sex drive raging again? PLEASE HELP!!!
