My Symptoms and [Possible] Solutions

• Chronic Pelvic Pain
• Intermittent pelvic pain, either locally sharp or generalized
• Lower pelvic pain from buttocks to groin
• Severe abdominal cramps
• Continual dull abdominal and backache

Trying Castor Oil Packs and Abdominal Massages-and when all else fails 3 advil every 4 hours, this was suggested by my Doc, but make sure you talk with yours about pain management solutions

• Premenstrual spotting
• Blood clots
• Backache
• Pain in the front of the thigh
• Headache

*Taking Progesterone from day 8-26, and DIM (herbal supplement that is said to help metabolize estrogen) to regulate my cycle and reduce excess estrogen-I could not handle taking what very little progesterone was prescribed (I felt horrible!) but adding the DIM made all the difference for me.  I just asked my Doctor if there was anything else I could take that might help my body accept the progesterone better.
