Hi ladies, I really need some advice. I came off bc around November last year. Since then I have had such painful periods. I mean doubled over in pain, and taking so much time off work. I've been sent home again today, they won't understand for much longer and not being at work makes me so anxious that I'll loose my job. I take naproxen or sopadol for the pain but it just takes the edge off. It doesn't seem to go. Even with painkillers in still unable to stand straight, or literally do anything for 2 or 3 days. I also seem to get pain upto ovulation, that is bearable but is taking its toll now. I feel so tired for being in pain, and dragging myself through what seems like most days. I really want a baby, but right now the only option seems to be to go back on bc. I can't live like this anymore. I have been to the GP but they don't seem to want to do much, and just say it's painful periods. I feel so upset today, I'm in pain and can't go to work again! I was off last Monday with pain too! I feel like im going to get sacked, but I can't work due to the pain, should I take bc until after my wedding in September? And then maybe deal with it over winter? I'm so worried I'll be in pain and won't be able to go to my own wedding too! It's horrible living like this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I seem to have about 28 day cycle, with spotting from around 5dpo until my period starts! Please help me if you've experienced this and tried any bing that helped x
