How do y'all cope with this medication? I take it to deal with severe cramping but it almost isn't worth it. The side effects make me feel worse than the cramps it negates. I don't want to just go off BC totally but I want to feel normal. its so hard.

      There are LOTS of different BCs out there. You can shop around a little to find one that works for you. Word of warning though: if you have a genetic predisposition for autoimmune diseases, be careful how many you try. No one told me that until I couldn't eat gluten anymore without getting sick and I needed to get tested for Celiac. The hormonal IUD may be a good option for you. Just something to look into! Good luck!
