i'm kit, a newbie... i was wondering how many people the parsley tea had worked for, and if anyone had any other ways for inducing a period, either for it to be early if it's late? also, has anyone gotten exteme dizzyness/disorientation while on perscription strength motrin? i started taking it last month- i took exactly what my gyn perscribed, with lots of food- and it didn't do much for my bad cramping but it did a number on my mind... i'd nearly fall over randomly, and when i was sitting down sometimes it would feel like i was quickly raising or dropping, stuff like that. and the only thing listed under common side effects is dizzyness and drowsiness... thanks.

Not a clue on the parsley tea, hehe....BUT, my mom has the same problem with prescription-strength motrin. It makes her feel like she's walking on the deck of a ship in VERY windy weather...she says it just makes everything seem disconnected and as if it's all floating about. So, she lowered the number of milligrams she was taking from 1,000 to 600. That dosage doesn't cause her any of the symptoms and it still works for her pain. You might try that...also, since Motrin reacts negatively with the stomach as well, perhaps the reason it didn't help your cramping much was because the dose was too high and your stomach was upset as well. That has happened to me before. Now I take 600 mg of Motrin for my cramps (after watchjing my mom's experience)...it doesn't upset my stomach and it helps with the cramps. Good luck! :-)

I tried parsley tea, I almost threw up on the first cup. I've been too chicken to go again. I think I will, but just mix it with regular tea to the point that I can't taste it. It's disgusting, if you have problems taking liquid medicine, just know that this is 10 billion times worse and you have to do it a bunch.
