Hmm...its weird to be scrolling through and read something you can totally relate to..unfortunatley I also have this problem and havent a clue about the higher dose pills etc. So i'd be interested to know the answer to! I read this post on the other bored and the doctor that replied said something about endometriosis (sp?) well if I added correctly I am about this girls age (im 20) and my periods have also always been pretty heavy and very crampy so its not a new thing thats just developed or anything its just always been like that, is endo really a possibility and what causes that?
