Dealing with bad cramps?
in Women's Health ·
Jason Morgan and I went through something similar once... I actually had a painless period for like two or three months straight—I was feeling pretty great about it, honestly.
Usually, though, my periods are pretty brutal. I’ve heard that birth control pills can help ease the pain—my friend and my mom both use them and swear they’ve made a huge difference with the cramping 🤷—but is that actually true? Has anyone here actually tried it?
For example, it isn't just the actual period that hurts; sometimes I get these sharp pains right during ovulation, and it always seems to hit on the most fertile day, too 😢—there's just no dodging it 😬. My cycles are otherwise totally regular, though. They show up right on time, and everything looked perfectly fine when I had my checkup at the clinic 🤷.
