I feel like my period cramps are literally killing me?

I feel your pain - mine are the same way. I was on the birth control pill Jolessa (generic brand of seasonale) and I loved it! Only four periods a year? awesome. What I didn't love was how unnatural it was. I talked to my doctor who is really into natural treatments, and he said that vitamin a is really good for cramps. He said that I needed to take 12 of them a day, and they're the ones that look like little pearls. If you're going to do this, make sure you talk to your doctor and get the kind with the right number of IUs so you're not taking too much. I've had a hard time finding the ones with a smaller IU, but I haven't exactly searched high and low. If you need more information, let me know and I'll gladly look into it more!
