Hi there.

I'm sorry you have to go through that =(

I too get very painful periods, the last one i had was extremely painful i couldn't move for 2 days i had to call in sick for both the days but i was extremely heavy (sorry if TMI) and i feel nauseas constantly and light headed. I pretty much lived on nurofen plus the entire time i bled which was for 8 days. I have never been pregnant so i have never experienced contractions or anything but if its anything like that i think i could cope although it was extremely painful.

I have PCOS so my doctor has put me on the pill to make my periods more regular (and to stop my body from producing cysts) and so i dont have such painful ones. I think it would be best to see a doctor, are all of yours this painful?
