My doctor has me on a new hormonal birth control pill, which so far seems to be working much better than the last one! The goal is to reduce menstrual cycles as much as possible, hopefully to nothing, which I gotta say I am on board for.
I had a whole paragraph about how my cramps usually "only" average about a 4 out of 10 on the pain scale, and I can usually knock them out with two ibuprofen, so they're not so bad! But uh. I think I finally managed to put that into perspective for myself. I can't believe I was giving myself a hard time for being in uncomfortable-to-distracting levels of pain two days a month! So this has convinced me to stop doing that, which I'm grateful for ♥
