idk how to title this.
I've pushed aside this possibilty for a while like "oh but people definitely have it worse than me" but like idk what to do anymore.
yesterday I had to leave school early because my pain got so bad I couldn't think straight, the school nurse genuinely recommended I go to urgent care (ended up going to primary care).
I'm currently on both depo provera and norenthidrone (I was given a prescription of the latter with the instruction to use when I have breakthrough bleeding) and even on both of those medications I still get cramps, sometimes I don't even get the flow, just the cramps.
norenthindrone is the 3rd type of bc ive tried, I tried the patch first and it didn't work, then I had breakthrough bleeding on depo so they added norethindrone to my prescription to help.
Idk what I'm rlly trying to get from posting this except maybe some kind of affirmation that this isnt normal. the diagnostic process seems really hard from what I've seen, so I don't think I'll be able to pursue a diagnosis right now (especially while trying to get diagnosed for another condition)..
I feel lost, maybe if anyone else here also has bad cramps even on bc they might have tips? I've tried painkillers like ibuprofen and acetominophen in the past but they didn't do much, aleve did a little more but it still sucked everytime.
