Question for women

[aburns]

I was wondering if any women have more pain at that time of the month than any other time and do you take anything or have any home remedies?

I've heard that they sometimes do, yes. I'm not one of those cases, though. Sometimes my menstrual cramps would rival my Crohn's cramps because I'm lucky.

I went on Depo-provera and now I don't get my period or any menstrual cramps at all. It's a huge relief not having to worry about it anymore. (If I go off of it my periods will return, so it shouldn't affect fertility in the long-run.)

I have heard of some woman that say their pain get worse. However i am the same as theOcean and get the injection so i don't get periods.

It has been reported in the literature that pain can be increased at this time.
It used to happen to me and I would take a couple of regular strength tylenol and sit with hot water bottlles and feet up to ease the cramps. Worked for me.
Feel better soon

Depo caused me to gain too much weight when I was younger. I don't know what it would do now...I am taking the pill and the only thing it helped with was breast pain. I think I'll look into Depo.

When I was on Depo it completely sapped all of my sex drive, and I went off it after discovering it was one of the methods of chemical castration used on sex offenders. Has anyone else experienced total lack of sex drive due to repo-provera use?

I used to take naproxen or ibuporfin- worked like a charm, but then I heard you shouldn't take those if you have crohn's. Now I take tylenol.
