Oh yeah KB, my doc said that especially with Ortho people gain weight. I didn't but she said that with this new pill I wouldn't anyways.
Azia,
The reason I ask is because I have a client with endometriosis and fibroid tumors and one of her primary complaints is lower back pain (cramps/spasms) caused by the mass. You should ask your doc for an ultrasound just to make sure that isn't the problem. The fact that is continues to get worse makes me suspicious.

What's copper t?
I have never used any birth control pills before and I have always been intimidated by them because I have heard that they make you gain weight.
I am SOOOO moody and downright an emotional crazy woman who thinks her whole life is falling apart right before my period.
Then when I get it , I am back to myself again. (maybe still an emotional crazy woman according to my boyfriend!!!)
Can you guys suggest any BC pills for a period-moody girl?

Wow, I had no idea. She said to give the new pills a few months to work and see if I notice the changes, i.e - no cramping.
Are you a doctor?
Well I can't imagine putting hormones in my body for recreational purposes (BC or AAS or whatever). So naturally I went for an IUCD when birth control was an issue for me (mini copper 7). Lack of child birth should not be an issue. There is some concern that IUCDs use is associated with a greater risk of infertility, but just go into your GP/Gyno with guns blazing and tell them "there's no way in hell I'll ever want children, and you've got no business messing with my hormones". Multiple partners are the other problem that concerns gynos, but you just lie to them and tell them you are in a life-long stable relationship (that's only a lie if you don't believe it), then they can usually be persuaded. My advice is to use a condom as well. To put it bluntly, your partner can, and often does (statistically), cheat on ya and you don't really need an STD on top of everything else. I also don't consider 99% effective to be that good. It means one women in every hundred will fall pregnant each year! That means over 20 years you have a 20% chance of getting pregnant! A condom plus an IUCD puts your chances of STDs plus pregancy to nearly 0%, and the main complication is menstrual cramping.

Since we are on this subject.. does/has anyone ever taken Provera(wanted to ask this for a few weeks now-but didn't want to be "off topic"). My dr. has prescribed this for me because I have PAINFUL periods and cysts. He asked me to take the Depo-Provera shot to stop my periods and I told him no, so he wrote me a script for Provera which I have not filled because I am not sure if I want to take it. He has not really been helping me deal with this... he has only been prescribing pain meds and nothing to solve the problem, so I have an appt. with a Gyn. I have researched about fibroids and found some very interesting treatments for them like anti-e's and other non-sugergical alternative. MS and wilson6 you input would be greatly appreciated!!!!
"Are you a doctor?"
If I had to do it over again, it would have been an MD instead of a PhD and gone into endocrinology.
My client went through the same thing, everyone told her it was her back until she had the US. Has some big fibroids.
Nubian,
I'd have to look at the literature on fibroids (i.e., mechanisms of growth, etc.) I'd wait until you see the OB/GYN, hopefully someone that knows endocrinology and is not ultra conservative.

Yes I'm still lurking around.... (someone PM'd me)
Ask away and I will answer.
Nubian... Have your doc put in a uterosacral nerve block when you start your period. If the pain goes away (it's almost instantaneous), then a quick laparoscopy and uterosacral nerve ablation will 95+% cure the problem. If you're near Phoenix, come see me, my cure rate with this surgery is essentially 100% (some dozen or so cases). OCP's taken continuously (no pill-free interval) will also "stop" your periods and take away your pain. Another, progesterone-only pill which might help is micronor. I'm not exactly sure how you would take provera only for your problem....oh yes, it has a name: Dysmenorrhea.
Endometriosis is only diagnosed by pathology, e.g. biopsy which is done at surgery although there can be strong clinical suspicion.
Good luck with the T Spatt, long time no hear!
To all you IUD users out there with positive feedback: thanks!!!
