Painful Periods, PMS, and ProgesteroneI am currently on Prometrium and have been for about a year (give or take). It has been incredible in helping with my physical symptoms. Prior to this drug, I would get menstrual cramps so awful I can’t describe them, but can only really express they were, at least, a 12 on a 1-10 pain factor.... [Read more...]

Along with getting... [Read more...]

We are trying for our second child in... [Read more...]

Teenager with PMSHello! My daughter is 16-years-old. She doesn’t report having problems with her periods. My concern is about her mood swings right before her period is about to start. She is ADHD and takes Concerta just to get her through the school day. She doesn’t take this medication on weekends or all... [Read more...]
