Loc: Maine (IBS-A stable since July '05!)
When I was on the patch (ortho evra), it didn't do a darn thing for my cramps... in fact, I think it made them worse. I switched to the pill (ortho cyclen) and my cramps are almost nonexistent (and were from the 1st cycle), but my PMS is absolutely HORRIBLE, with bloating and nausea like crazy. I think I'd rather have the cramps! Can't win! LOL
