Thanks Casey. What that tells me is that different types affect people differently. I am able to tolerate the one I'm on (Alesse) so I don't think I want to try another type. I will wait it out and see if it lessens the pain with time.

.. and didn't notice any change in my cramps. By the 3rd one, I just gave up and learned that I need to deal with them.
I'm currently on my 4th one because the 3rd one was too expensive when I changed insurances. Will be interesting to see if this new one helps at all.

I took ortho tricylin. I got bigger boobs (gained a few pounds overall) and yes, it took care of my cramps, and it was cool to know the exact day and time I'd get my period. But it was regular dose, not low dose. Been off them for two years almost. I miss the boobs. And so does my husband.

I never found that any of the pills I tried lessened my cramps (I've been on 3 different brands) but have found that taking packs back-to-back helps tremendously because then you don't get a period as often. Maybe that's something you could try if your pain is really bad?

I used to have terrible pain - but when I went on the pill the pain seemed to subside quite abit.
But then I discovered I have IBS so some of the pain was associated with that. I think you will definitely see a difference. I would talk to your physican and confirm that your issue will be taken care of with the prescription/brand of pill she chooses for you.
PS _ If the pain is completely overwhelming you could have endometreosis (Major spelling issues there) - not to scare you but it may be something you want to check. My sister found out she had endo when she found the pill did NOTHING to lessen cramps. Just a little thought for you!

Hi Kelly,
I did take my first pack back to back so I didn't get my period for May. It was AWESOME!
Is it safe to take them back to back to not get a period? Maybe I'll ask my doctor. Thanks.

Lana Marie,
Yes I ahve wondered about endo. My cramps are super bad and have been since I got it. I don't know much about it but maybe I should ask. Is there a test to see if you have it?
Thanks.
