more breakthrough bleeding for me :( yay
so it seems like i have my period...

this bites.

i am definitely going to talk to my doctor about switching to ortho cyclen instead. this breakthrough bleeding always happens during the end of the first week of my active pills (my regular period ends and then i'm fine for 5 or 6 days, and then the breakthrough bleeding starts), with the lowest dose of progestin. so i'm hoping that a constant (higher) level of progestin will work better.

this sucks, because aside from this i really like OTC a lot. but it's like i get two periods every month :\

Tampons making cramps worse? ... Having to crap?!

I've never really had anything to complain about with my periods. I think I've usually had it pretty easy but this month is kicking my ass. ~=(

Today I've had a constant throbbbing headache. I've never gotten headaches before. I feel totally lethargic. I just want to sleep. I have no apetite. The cramps were so bad that I had to take 2 painkillers which is normal I guess but totally unlike me. The ovaries decided to join along in the pain too. Maybe that's not so bad because I can just sleep that all away but the headaches are the worst. So damn painful I feel like I'm going to go blind and pass out. Also, I feel like I constantly have to crap! Sorry for that, but it's just pissing me off a lot.

However, this rant does come to a point:
It's so bad this month that I can't wear tampons. Tampons make my cramps worse. It's not as if I can feel them, but they just make me feel uncomfortable inside. I don't know how to really explain it. It's like my body is telling me to get it out by making the cramps worse.
So do any of you not like wearing tampons because they make your cramps worse or anything along those lines? Is this normal?

hello everyone! i'm new. :) my name is becky, i'm 22, live in michigan and i hate it. i've been trying to find a community like this for the past week or so because i've got a question that most girls seem to deal with or have dealt with already. i plan on going to the gyno as soon as i have insurance and getting on the pill, but i'm just curious what advice anyone else can offer me who has been or is in my shoes right now.. here's my situation.

i've had a CRAZY period this month. i'm irregular as it is, but this month has been nuts. i started not last wednesday but the wednesday before. two days were really really light.. just spotty, really. i was off for a day then it was really really heavy (big clots and everything) for the next week, all the way up until sunday. i was off for a day, on for a day, off, on. it's driving me nuts and i just want it to stop. does anyone know if this is a sign that something is really wrong with my girly parts or is it just irregularity? i know i need to get to the gyno, i've never been before.. but i just don't have the money right now.

this isn't the first time it's happened. it happened last summer or the summer before and it was heavy every day for a month. i'm irregular already, i usually go about once ever two months. i'm not currently sexually active but i have been.

help please? feel free to IM at waitingforyrcall too. thanks very much in advance!! :D
