I'm guessing this is an odd question, but I need some advice, and since my gyno has moved cross country, I'm hoping you guys can either tell me I'm crazy or point me in a direction and I can continue doing research myself. To start off, I had miserable periods from age 14 to 16 with cramps so bad, if I didn't get some sort of pain relievers in me as soon as I woke up, I was guarnteed to be throwing up most of the day. At 16, I finally went on the pill. I'm not sure which one (I could look it up if it's important), tho I do remember that nasty iron-y taste during the last week. Anyways, I stopped when I was about 21, and suffered with bad periods until basically now (I'm 25). I started back up on pills (Yaz) to control the cramps etc, but I really want to try and conceive within the next year or so. My question is, is there something out there (aside from aspirin and other painkillers) that can help me with my cramps but will still allow me to become pregnant? I don't want to "block" the pain and be forced to keep popping aspirin for that week, I just want cramps to not be an option at all or want it much less than it has been in the past. Or is my only option birth control, which means no babies? :/ Thanks for the help~
