Hello all,
I have a question. If a woman doesn't ovulate, whats the point in
having a period? I thought periods shed the tissue in the uteris for a
baby? My periods are regular, but I was diagnosed with PCO. The Dr says
I don't ovulate or have valid eggs. My cramps from my period are very
painful, feels like someone is taking steak knives and ripping my
insides out. I take about 1000mg of Naproxen Sodium tablets for pain,
but it doesn't seem to work. I am in pain for 3 days, very heavy flow,
stop for a day and start back again on the 5th day, stop on the 6th.
PLEASE HELP
