I am hoping there is a professional out there that can answer a period question.?

Are you having severe pain that is causing your illness? If so, you could have endometriosis. Endometriosis is a condition where endometrial tissue (like that of the inner lining, or endometrium, or the uterus) migrates and proliferates outside of the uterus. This can lead to intense pain, especially during periods. Endometriosis cannot be seen on ultrasound unless it forms a tumor on the ovaries.

If not, you might want to ask your doctor to test your thyroid and FSH levels. Your hormone levels could be off, and that could lead to some not-so-fun complications. The cause of gynecological issues isn't necessarily gynecological in nature.

Birth control pills are not the answer to everything, and in many cases, they are the cause of problems.

Always go for a second opinion is possible. There are new pills out that can decrease the symptoms you are experiencing. (Though with the same affects.) There are so many options out on the market now that there is bound to be one that is a good fit for you. Have you tried depo provera? It has been known to suppress periods in women, doesn't require daily, weekly, or monthly injections, and has a low fail rate.

Find an OB/GYN than will do an internal ultrasound of your uterus, and consider an endometrial ablation. It can lessen the bleeding and pain. The internal ultrasound can give the doctor a better idea of what is going on.

Some women just have that problem. Have you ever though about giving up smoking and getting on a light pill or even the shot or patch?
