it's my first month off the pill and i got my period this morning for the first time in a few years. i forgot how awful it is!
on a funny note... my DH is like 'what's wrong with you' and i'm like 'i have cramps really bad' and he's like 'babe, i get cramps too, they're caused by dehydration. you need to drink more water.'
poor guy, i haven't had real cramps in the 8 years we've been together. he has no idea what he's in for!
TIA!

Heating pads are my saviour! If your at work they sell these things that heat up and you can just put it under your clothes. That and aleve help me but I feel your pain. Since going off the pill mine have been horrible.

OMG my first month off it felt like someone was slicing out my insides.
Those little heating pads are a life saver...and I prefer actual painkillers to advil if you have any!

Heating pad Advil Pilates or just really good stretching And a bar of dark chocolate I don't know if that helps directly, but it makes things a little more...wait for it....wait for it...BEAR-able.

that just made my day. and bear's day. i said to Mike this morning that i felt like a bear that was shot with a bear gun. he told me i should probably email Dr. Bear, at [email protected]. We're definitely insane.
