kittykat08 answered Tuesday December 19 2006, 7:33 pm: The only thing I can suggest is going to see a GYN. I went to one last year, and he put me on a type of birth control called "OrthoTriCyclenlo" it is very effective, and it helps with my cramps. Plus, my period is up to 3 days shorter, and almost non existant at times. I really recommend it. [ kittykat08's advice column | Ask kittykat08 A Question ]

In the meantime, use extra-heavy feminine pads, or use an extra-heavy tampon supplied with a pantiliner (or a regular pad) as backup. That usually helps!!

Use better tampons, or thicker pads, what ever you use. [ daisysmiles's advice column | Ask daisysmiles A Question ]
