What should I take for menstrual bloating?

What is the best thing to take/do for bloating during your menstrual cycle. Does Midol work, is there something better? Please give me your personal experience and what has worked best for you. Also, I’m usually bloated the week before my period starts and then during the first half of my period but the last few days and the following week I’m skinnier than usal (if that makes sense) is that normal?




Is it possible I could be pregnant if Ive had 2 really heavy periods since I last had sex? please only answer from personal experience or if you are a doctor or something. I really dont want any guesses. Thanks.




What can a woman expect after a Hysterectomy?




My mother just had one, and I am worried. She will need to take medication because of it. Can someone share their personal experience, and give good advice on how to help out. Thanks

My mother in law had one this morning. She is doing ok and should be able to come home from the hospital tomorow. I have read a little on it but I want personal experience from those who have had it or know or taken care of someone who has.




I am getting a couple of blood draws done, but I was just curious..I cant find anything conclusive on the net, so I am going to pull from your personal experience.. I dont go to the doc until Friday, and am weighing taking some prog. lotion.
Also, just had a m/c about two months ago…wondering if progesterone was the culprit.




From personal experience or someone you know, how long did it take to get pregnant after stopping the depo shot?

How was your experience with Depo Provera?




I got the shot 2 months ago. I have read about side effects, so please only answer my question through your personal experiences, and not links to information about Depo Provera. I have been really depressed on Depo, and I’m wondering if it’s just in my head or if others have felt this way. Overall, how was your personal experience with Depo? What did you like or dislike about it? Thanks.




I’m pregnant with twins. My doctor is going to perform a partial hysterectomy, when I have my c-section. I was wondering if anyone out there can tell me about their experience? How long did it take you to heal? Was it worth having the hysterectomy? Did you hire anyone to help you with the daily chores, and taking care of your baby/babies? Just looking for some general information and or hear about your personal experience. Please no rude answers, thank you.
I’m not going to breast feed.




I am in perimenopause and just started taking a really low dose of Paxil for depression. I know it dries out my mouth, but I am also experiencing some discomfort in that area as well? Could this be related to this medication? Any personal experience with this? My doctor said, "Maybe", but I would like to hear if anyone else had experienced this uncomfortable side effect?




I am taking provera to start a period to check for infertility. I am on day 8 and haven’t started my period yet. My doctor said that I should start around day 5. I have also seen on-line that some people don’t start till after the ten days of taking the pill. I want some personal experience feedback. I think that is always the best way to go.
