THE PAIN

I started up on the ring last month because my 2 or 3 month bleed-fest was unbearable.
The issue is that starting BC means I also get really bad cramps.

I rarely get cramps, but in the past 3 years when I do, I can't function.


  • If on average this happens to all women -- is this actually a contributing factor to why we don't make as much as men? Because losing 1/4 of your time each month with a decline in focus and productivity sucks.
  • And then I get pissed when periods are used as an excuse or as some joke.  I hate when girl's mood or issues are blamed on PMS or just being a girl.  That shit pisses me off -- but to not acknowledge how severely I react to my period does make me realize denying it makes me a hypocrite
  • Have you read the reasons and therapies on what causes cramps and how to relieve them?  Burning or cutting things up there sounds pretty awful, despite it having a high success rate.  Anyone experience this? I feel like I trust doctors and I'm a brave person, but for some reason these bother me.  Nothing morally against it, maybe right now I just don't like anyone in the general vicinity
  • I equate these cramps to bad gas, constipation, being stabbed or repeatedly punched in the stomach -- all while being sore and achy for no good reason.
  • Apparently, when I sleep, I whimper pathetically and roll around a lot.  No wonder I need so much extra sleep.
