Periods and Hormones

Hey, friends!

So, I'm 23, and ever since I first got my period, I have had a perfectly consistent 28 day cycle, including a 4 day period. In October of last year I had an 2 week late period and it lasted for 8 entire days with the WORST cramps I had ever had.

Because of the crazy change I went to my doctor, who ordered some tests and found out my testosterone level was a little high. Other than that, everything looked normal. My period went back to it's normal rhythm after that--until now. My period was one week late, and today is the first day.

I am posting this to see if

1) does anybody have any experience with suddenly having higher (slightly above normal) testosterone?

2) HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH SUDDENLY GETTING THE WORST CRAMPS YOU'VE EVER HAD?
