It can take several MONTHS for you to feel the full effects. Two weeks is not long enough to tell how it's working for you. When I was on it, the doctor only had me come in to see him once a month---sometimes every 2 months, because any sooner than that he said would be a waste of time in evaluating it.
You will gradually feel better, but don't expect it overnight.

Sometimes doctors say if your uterus is tilted you will have trouble getting pregnant. Both my sister and I have tilted uteruses and we both had no trouble getting pregnant. Me twice! Anyway, interesting that alot of us have the uterus issue. I wonder if it is somehow related to IBS> I have a wonderful gyno and he's well aware of my IBS I think he might have mentioned that the IBS was from the tilted uterus. He never did though. I'm gonna have to ask him about it next check up!
He's been trying to get me to take the pill. He believes that it will maybe help my IBS cause my IBS is definitly hormonal related. I only flare up around ovulation and period time. I'm just leary on putting medications in my body. Especially hormones. My husband had a vasectomy so I really don't need to take birth control. I was on the pill when I was younger from like 19-24 years old. Made me wacky. Terrible anxiety. As soon as I stopped, I got much better.
I too have terrible cramps. I HAVE to take tylenol every 4 hrs faithfully and if I miss a dose, watch out!
You have plenty of time to get pregnant Cara. You were just married. Enjoy your married life for a few years. You'll never have the quietness and free life back again!!!!

I had one doctor tell me I'd have a hard time getting pregnant, but he was a quack. I asked him how I'd get pregnant and he said, 'just turn around'. I left his office and found a new doctor.
All my other doctors said that a tilted uterus will not affect getting pregnant at ALL. So, that's good.
I have a feeling that having a tilted uterus just makes things a little worse for IBS. I know it's not a cause of IBS because not everyone has it. It is interesting though.
Anyways - I know we have all our lives to get pregnant....but everyone's different. We have been together for so long, getting married didn't change our relationship at all - I'm ready for some noise!  By the time we have a baby (if I get pregnant right now) we'll have been married over 2 years. I'm one of those people who doesn't wnat to have kids late at all. I am young and in good shape now, and I want to be a young mom! I don't want to be 40 when my kids are young. No offense to anyone! It's just how I feel and what I've always wanted. Kids are my passion - if I'm around kids I'm happy. We are just really excited to have a baby! It'll happen when it's right.
Thanks for your post!

No offense taken! My goal was to have two children by the time I was 30 and I did! I could not imagine having one now at 37. Your energy level is so much less. People are doing it though and I say more power to them!
We dated 9 years before we got married. Then we waited about 3 years after we married to start a family. You sound very excited to become a mommy and that is so wonderful. You will make a good one I'm sure!
P.S. Getting married didn't change my relationship with my husband either. Having kids did though  Not necessarily in a bad way. Just different. Your life becomes all about your kids when you have children. The husband gets kinda put on the back burner and vise versa. Again it's not a bad thing, it's just life changing!

I noticed that we have the same quote too. I also love it. It's just a really nice quote, don't you think?
Eric and I have only been married since January, but we have been together since 1998. That's 7 years. I'm very ready for kids, and he wants kids so bad he can't stand it. Every time he's out with a freind that has kids or one of his co-workers brings their children to work, that's all he talks about...literally. I LOVE my kitties (they are my kids) but, it's just not the same thing. Good luck to you and your hubby, keep me posted and I'll do the same! 
P.S. I'm a C.
