Fark! I knew it.

You don't even have to guess why I am a pissy person tonight.  After second guessing if we should keep trying earlier in the week, you know my cycle ended in ashes. 

Honestly, I do not know how many more periods I can handle.  Seriously.  The pain of the cramps, clotting (TMI...sorry), and the excess bleeding has me wondering how long I can keep my uterus.  It really needs to go, but I really want another baby.  URRGH.  I was feeling better about keeping on trying...until today.  I cannot stand another AF visit.  My periods suck.  Wine is not even helping after 800 mg of Motrin.  EFF off AF!

Oh man, I'm really sorry.  What kinds of things are/have you done to relieve pain besides Motrin?  Have you tried any herbal remedies?  I'm not talking marijuana or anything like that, but black cohosh or EPO. 

I hope it eases up for you.  Big hugs.

So sorry that AF is really bad, hopefully it will end soon and you will feel better.

I'm sorry about AF and the bad periods.  I am the same.  I have terrible cramps. Also, I have short cycles so I get AF and the cramping every three weeks. It is awful.  I was on bcp almost my whole life b/c it helped so much.  This AF was post bcp (b/c of IVF) and it is sooooooo nice.  Very light period, no cramping.  I wish I had some advice for you, but I haven't found that anything helps.  Motrin and a heating pad is all I have found that provides any relief at all.

So sorry!  If it helps, you can send her to me, I've been looking for her for a few months...

I hope you feel better soon!  I have used thermacare wraps on my abdomen so I don't have to stay in one place but still have the soothing heat

Ugh...I feel your pain.  I'm sorry that AF is so tough for you. 

When I was going to acupuncture my therapist was very interested in the amount of cramps and clotting I got with my period.  Although it didn't help get me PG, I can say with 100% certainty that I noticed fewer PMS symptoms and my less cramping and clotting with my periods.  FWIW I was also taking the herbs he prescribed along with my treatments.

Hope you feel better soon.
