In addition, I only have one heavy day then really light for the next 4-5 days. Really light. I recommend a heat pad for the cramps (in addition to a butt load of ibuprofen). I like the microwavable kind, but a heating pad works too. The bad news is that my GYN said some of my symptoms (including the insomnia) could be a preview of menopause. Excuse me? I don't care, I still look forward to it!Just A Normal Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17044107177408002343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30569672.post-3992148640510627352012-11-29T19:43:55.205-08:002012-11-29T19:43:55.205-08:00Periods suck!

I finally went on birth control to regulate, but that made me crazy. I had some luck with the Nuva Ring, but I'm now on an IUD, so I don't get my period at all. It's been a saving grace from the cramps, heavy flow for days on end, fast cycles, mood swings, and countless other fun factors. I too am looking forward to menopause!

Also, I made a cloth bag, filled it with rice, and sewed it shut. I microwave it for a few minutes and hold it over my lower abdomen when I do get cramps. It feels so relaxing.

I stick with the same thing and never try new things. hope you get some sleep tonight. By the way Midol has caffeine in it, may explain the insomnia a bit.

I was really grossed out by the idea of them...but they work really well for me. I still wear a thin pad underneath in case of accidents but I especially like them overnight. I tend to flow REALLY heavy the first two nights, through my super plus tampon and soak through my pad...and everything else. Nothing irritates me anymore than to have to change my sheets because I'M the one who had an accident!! It was enough to make me try them. Also HATE sore boobs... My periods too are much worse now than they were a decade ago....... I shudder to think what menopause will bring. Currently I'm trying to come to terms with premature hair loss. I now have less hair than my 60 year old mother and it makes me so very very sad....daycarneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01022265915517998021noreply@blogger.com
