    Default Bad Menstrual cramps

    Become a member to remove this ad.
    Today I had the worst menstrual cramps I've ever had. It was accompanied with very heavy menstrual flow. I had to use double protection and change often. I got married today, it was just to make it legal. After the ceremony, we went to a restaurant, I was cramping so bad I couldn't sit still. One of the women offered me some Midol or Advil, but I can't take them because they cause me to get tinnitus that lasts for weeks after I take them. I have prescription strength Orudis at home and I told my husband I had to go home. The orudis made the cramps bearable in about half an hour. If I feel like this tomorrow, he will have to take my sister to the airport alone.

    When this happens, I can't believe the amount of blood I lose. I'll bet it is over a pint.

    Maybe you should speak to a doctor about going on a prescription antinflammatory. This will also help lessen the blood.

    I went to a GYN before because I was having the same problem, heavy/irregular periods and cramps. She did a lot of uncomfortable tests and didn't find anything wrong. She started me on birth control pills to regulate my periods but they made me so nauseous that I could hardly eat. I had to quit them. This is the first bad period since the checkup.

    I dread going back to the GYN. She said the next step would be scoping the inside of my uterus with a hysteroscope to check for fibroids or polyps. I've heard this is very painful and I hate them probing around around down there.

    I can't believe they would go to such extremes! You would think they would try an antinflammatory to see if it helps!
