I nearly forgot...
When all this started for me, my doctor prescribed Ponstell - it was like a magic pill! The cramps stopped, the clots were non-existent, it was awesome!
Problem is that Ponstell was too expensive for me, so after that first prescription, I never got it refilled - it was like $60.00. You only take it on the bad days, so it's not something you take all month long - just 4-5 days and the bottle lasted about 3 months.
Anyway, I don't know the side affects or if it's right for everyone, but it certainly worked for me.

Kim,
If you don't like one type of tampons, try another.
I like OB brand because instead of getting longer when they swell they get wider. They were developed by a woman doctor.

Dear Peace I assume the post about the tampons is for me. There are several of us named Kim. I love OB's unfortunately I need them with the applicators, & I can't find the OB's with the applicators around here anymore. Used to get them then all of a sudden no one had them anymore.

I use the regular OB's. I haven't seen the ones with applicators in ages.

Myckey So I guess they must not make the ob's with applicators anymore. Unfortunately I've never been able to get the regular ob's inserted right. I feel dumb.

I never knew that OB had applicators to begin with. I used to use them because I hated dealing with applicators and found that it was easier for insertion to use OB.

Yeah, I'm thinking they stopped making them, too. I like them because I can't stand applicators. I pinch myself more often than not.

When OB first came out, they didn't have applicators.
I think the company tried it briefly and then took it off the market. I checked the company website and there is no mention of any version with applicators.
However, they are offering Free Sample Packs with a cute carrying case. (Click on the word Here on the web page)
Sorry for the confusion on the names, Kim and Kimberly.
Anne

I think the playtex tampons do that too. I haven't bought them in a while because the plastic applicator is too hard for me to hang onto.

Kath, do you have revolving avatars? It seems like almost everytime I log on or post here your avatar changes. Just wondering...
I probably change it every few days or so. =)

Where do you find cloth pads? They sound comfortable.

Interesting to see this thread still going. Hmmm my time of the month came and went last week. I always dread it. I do get steady headaches and took ibuprofen quite steady. I had the flu too. Since school's back in I decided to do extra walks to stave off stress and it helps. The alone time is nice too. Not to mention our puppy dog enjoys the extra time outside. I still seem to crave sweets and feel like a compulsive eater in some ways. I don't know why ice cream seems to help but it does. I did go for the extra walk today even though it was mildly raining.

Support threads (IMO that is what this thread really is) have a tendency to run for quite a while. As long as women are going through peri-menopause or menopause, I think that threads like this are a great idea.

I'm overdue on it, but then again, I've been having them every two to three months anyway. Does anyone else have this problem?
