I posted this in the check in thread today, but it's an ongoing monthly hell-cramps! They get so bad 1 to 2 days a month That no painkiller can contain them! I'm essentially on bed rest for the 30some hours I endure this. Wow! 30 seems a lot! Ok, no, it's more like...24 or 26??? I suppose it is a good amount of time and even after the worst is over, I have soreness for the next 24hours. Ugh! No doctor has been helpful yet! I mean, the birth control pill helped, but it gave me other side effects. The next suggestion was an IUD...I'm afraid of the procedure though. And you can probably guess I'm afraid of childbirth too, but at least that's something coming out, not going in and maybe the scissors aren't so close to the body (ok, unless you need stitches and blah blah. I do realize childbirth is worse, but at least you get a baby, right??) Ughhh, yes, all those antipregnancy campaigns they have to scare teens off sex really did a number on me! Didn't stop me from the sex part though! Lmao
