MY friend's family all get sists and then they have this gross bag with teeth and stuff from the baby. Pretty gross so yeah please don't use birth control!!!! Try ec=xercising or yes go to a doctor [ jammy12's advice column | Ask jammy12 A Question ]

they do have medicine for that, so my advice to you is to go to a doctor or gynocologist. dont worry it wont be as bad as you think.

alisonmarie answered Tuesday June 20 2006, 4:48 pm: You've got two good routes to go down here, and both start with getting good medical advice. From there, you can try homeopathic 'cures' for bad cramps.
These include avoiding salt just before your period, going for a walk every day, using a heating pad on your tummy, and a variety of herbs that can help your body cope.
Your other option is medication. Your doctor might be able to prescribe particularly strong painkillers, inform you about birth control and possible side affects, etc. They will probably also check to see the possible reasons for these increasingly bad cramps.
They could be normal for you, or they could signify a condition that might be treatable.
Either way, have a chat with your doctor. It might also help to keep a log of what you're eating and if anything particularly noteable happens in the month - and which days you get cramps. You might find a link.
