Period Cramps

[connie k]

I wonder why you are still having heavy periods. Mine are by no means really light now but, what you are describing is how mine were. Now mine are I guess average. Before I had to wear a tampon to get in the shower or it would pour down my legs. YUCK!!!!!! Sorry. We all keep apologizing for our gross descriptions but, I'll bet we all can identify with each others problems.

I don't do this all the time. About 1 every couple of years. My mom use to tell me that it cleans me out real well. Hopefully the rest of today will be it.

I can definitely relate with that, had do to that before as well.

Isn't it funny how everyone's doctor has a different opinion? Scares me that it's not consistent. Each of us too seems to have different results with our choices.

I have used pills for many many years with the exception of pregnancy and nursing. As a kid I had heavy flows with major cramps which made me bedridden for the first day. The pill helped regulate the flow with minimal cramps. Now my periods don't start until about 3 or 4 days into the "fake pills" and last maybe 2 or 3 days with little flow. I have skipped my period by moving into the next pack for vacations and never had a problem. As for the problems conceiving after... we'll I've got 2 beautiful children just from thinking about having sex LOL fertile myrtle they say. My 2nd one was even conceived while using 2 forms of birth control. So I would have to say for me personally, skipping periods didn't affect anything.
