>>Hi Tracey,

I am facing the same problem. I too had a surgery in Oct. 97. It helped the pain during menses but not with the cramping that started around day 10 of my cycle. I felt like my period wanted to come every 2 weeks. I have been on the pill on and off for 8 years, so I decided to stop taking it to see what would happen with my cramps. I started bleeding every two weeks and was told by my docter that i was experiencing anovulatory disfunction. He put me on 10mg of provera, which did not work. The only other choice for me is the pill, so I started taking it a week ago. I Felt like all my energy had been sucked out of me. Nausea hit me in waves all day long. I could not handle it, so I stopped taking the pill and feel better other than cramping. WHATS THE BETTER OF THE TWO EVILS ? Your not alone Sandra
