How can I return with rid of SEVERE menstrual cramps?

I've been taking birth control for the past couple months to slow down my period.. but since i've be taking them, the cramps have been extremely severe.
i can't stand for long periods of time.
adn when i sit, i hold to lay flat to make them feel a little better.
i've taken motrin next to ibuprofen.

i did have bad cramps before and the doctor said that the birth control should stop them, but since i've be taking the pills, they've only gotten worse..

please help me.

thank you. :)

Answers:

try a different kind of pill...different pills affect different women differently

I had like problem but there are some tips. try to get something warm and put it on your stomach it will net the cramps milder and you can tolerate them more. IBUPROFEN is very helpful when it comes to cramps!! dont take motrin or tylenol, doesnt really support. try to relax and maybe eben walk around so your uterus doesnt has to cramp so much. It realadjectiveshelps. Take ibuprofen and walk a little and return with like a warm pad to put on it. and DO NOT nick motrin WITH ibuprofen, stay with one pain reliever.

oooh yikes- thats not supposed to happen. Tell your doctor and she will put you on a different kind of BC.

exercize a moment ago a few bike rides or crunches could do it
the movement should loosen ur muscles so it flows more smoothly

Motrin is just a brand of ibuprofen, first of adjectives. As a muscle relaxant it should help. If your cramps are still severe, try things like eating a banana (potassium). A little exercise go a long long way, even if it is the last thing you touch like doing. If you are sexually active or comfortable with masturbating, have an orgasm can actually relieve the cramps (muscle contractions and whatnot). Soak in the tub or grab a hot hose bottle. I get cramps so badly I puke, and was simply told there wasn't much to do. If you are comfortable with the idea, collaborate to your doctor about ways to stop your period all together. There are birth control pills and shots that can do this, but work out the side effects.

Side note: You can mix your pain killers, but know what you are doing. Taking one tylenol beside two ibuprofen (make sure you read the dosages though, because some are higher dose so you only need to pinch one) can be more effective. Often times this combination is helpful. Source(s): Davis's Drug Guide (2009)
