Oof; yeah, my cramps weren't usually that bad, but they still sucked, and I also was getting some intermenstrual spotting, so I went on the pill last year. It's been a bit of a journey! (First pill took away my cramps but made me bleed two days out of three (even if it was just spots most of the time); doctor agreed that was bullshit and sent me for an ultrasound, diagnosed me with adenomyosis (basically off-brand endometreosis, if you haven't heard of it), switched me to a different pill; new pill did better, but I still had a bit more irregular dripping than I'd like, and then in October I had a period that lasted two weeks and was like, "Fuck this,"; my doctor agreed with me again and suggested we get more brains working on the project, which eventually led to today's adventure.)

I'm guessing the pill has been working out for you? I sure hope so!

The heating pads are making my life so much better right now, I can't even. I lurf them. Thank goodness I also have a reusable corn sack heating pad, or I'd probably be off to the store to buy some right now.
