Ok so I’ve been off birth control since August and we’ve been trying to get pregnant (which I know can take some time) in the meantime I’ve been on some form of birth control since I was 17 for my extremely painful periods the most recent being my iud With which I had almost no period and no cramping/pain/bloating/nausea/mood swings which I now have all of not to mention the heavy bleeding. The symptoms start around 10 days before my period and I am now 5 days into my period with no signs of slowing down. Any tips for coping with awful periods while trying to get pregnant?
