Okay I am on seasonique and this will be my fourth month I believe. I have my period and I shouldn't and the pain is pretty much unbearable. As many of you know I am currently in between gynecologists and am only seeing a pain management doctor, whose "cure' for me is to get pregnant. I don't know what to do. I'm supposed to get it every 6 months and I just had it in November.

The end of my semester in in this week and I have standardized testing to do and I just can't keep up with it all. :(

" The pill made me incredibly ill (I think I have told you this before). You need to call/see your family doc, explain what is happening and ask about switching or stopping probably. They may not know what to do, but they can help you monitor your symptoms if you switch/stop to know what is working and what isn't. In short: If you are taking the pill to stop period pain, but have excruciating pain, then what is the point? "

" do you take any painkillers? This is what my doctor gave me..but i dont like taking painkilers there not good for you. I chnaged pills and now ive had a period for two weeks..pill just isnt working for me atal. Have you used hot water bottle on your tummy? When im in a lot of pain i take a really hot bath and lay in it for an hour..it helps for a while, i do it before bed so i can sleep.
