Oh, my girl parts. I just don't know what to do with them. Due to various procedures I've inflicted upon them, my period comes at very irregular intervals averaging about 2-3 months apart. And it doesn't behave in the way it did for the dozen or so years I was on the Pill- a sharp pain, a certain feeling, then it started within an hour or two around the middle of the day, heavy for a day and tapering off over the next 4 days. Now it's like- pain, nothing, spotting, nothing, for 2 days. Then stabbing, twisting, excruciating pain for a good 24 hours and a frightening amount of blood that comes with no warning or pattern. This is where I am today, and why I have been curled up on the bed, wishing I could knock myself unconscious with a frying pan. I didn't really want to use the sick leave, but if I have to feel like this I'm sure not going to want to do it at work. It's just been an emotional week, I'm tired anyway, and all I want to do it doze off for a day. I think I'll head back to it. And tomorrow, jury duty!

I hope you're better tomorrow, would hate to see someone get the death penalty because you're grumpy... :-)

Eating too much of some things, like sugar and caffeine, or too much meat, can trigger those. Also not drinking enough water. Your lining is not wanting to leggo of your uterus.
Black cohosh will help it let go. Dong quai will help the pain a lot. If you have castor oil nearby, putting that on your abdomen, and then applying heat, will help a lot to lube things up.

Drink milk, too. Calcium is supposed to help, and also cinammon.
