I've just finished my 2nd met period (yay for an official, albeit slightly long, cycle) and I'm wondering if anyone else found their first few periods really heavy and unpleasant?
This one has been pretty grim. Thankfully it was only 6 days but was really heavy and the cramps were pretty damn painful. I don't really have periods without medication and was on dianette for many years so most of my period experience is based on this, and for me pill periods were nice and predictable and the worst I got was a monthly headache. My question really is, if people who used met to re-start their periods found the first few particularly heavy and then they settled into something like normal? The alternative is that this is normal and I'm just a bit of a real period virgin! (lol - maybe I'm getting to have the 13 yr old girl experience that I missed out on due to PCOS!!)
If this is normal (oh I hope it's not!) does anyone have any tips for reducing the unpleasantness? I've just started taking evening primrose which I've read can help but any other advice would be welcome.
Thanks for reading x
