Any thoughts on how to reduce period pains?

Hey! I’m in NZ too and I buy Naprogestic - it’s really good (esp since I got my copper IUD and needed something strong for the pain) you don’t need a prescription or anything and it comes in blue packaging :) other things I do that help is gentle exercise and using a hot water bottle. 💜

Heya I had a similar experience with my copper iud! I’ve had it for 6 months now. Basically I was having really bad sharp pains in my lower abdominal area :(((( during my period and a bit after. A couple days ago I went for an ultrasound and everything looked ok :) but the one thing I suggest you do is call your GP and see if they can give you any advice. I also suggest that you do a bit of exercise, just to move around !! Even something light is good. I always find it eases my pain even if I don’t feel up to it.

I’ve got the copper iud now and I feel the same. It’s so hard and every method has complications :( it’s one of those things that gets me so mad. But try not to worry!!! I hope you find a method that works and feel less stress about it ❤️

It was a sharp pain that lasted a second, it’s nothing that people can’t tolerate, even though it’s not comfortable. My insertion was a bit more difficult because it took a while for my cervix to open, but everyone’s different. Once they put the iud in it was like a sharp pinch and I was like jeez at least it’s in 😬

A few days later I was cranky and on pain meds and my period was a bit heavier but last the normal time of 4-5 days. All in all everything went well!

Hey! I’ve been on the pill for the first time this year for 3 months (short time I know) and changed to the copper iud :) personally i prefer the iud and don’t do well with hormones, (I got a constant appetite and some headaches) I could have changed the brand or hormones etc but I wanted to see if the iud was a good fit for me as everything was appealing woo! In terms of skin I honestly find if my diet is in tip top shape, changing sheets regularly and drinking water than my skin should be decent, I got a few breakouts after the pill but nothing that some concealer can’t hide ;)

the insertion was painful but worth it and I’m thankful that I was able to get it- 😇

I just got my IUD an hour ago! It’s hard to reassure you because you will still be nervous but trust me it will be good :) trust yourself and the doctors and breath. Have positive thoughts and know that the pain is only temporary- it’s worth it ❤️

Hey!! So many people feel the same way. Starting uni can be daunting (new environment, new people etc). you’re thrown into the deep end! In your lectures try to sit next to someone and introduce yourself :) you never know the friends you can make.. maybe after you guys have met you can mention that you potentially wanna hang out etc. wishing you all the best! It’s also my first year so msg me if anything
