I don't like my period!

my period is crazy - some month, it doesn't come. I have been sick for months now, I went to the doctors and they think I have endometriosis. My periods are sometimes very painful and heavy.

What is there to like about my period...um off hand nothing.
1. Cycling every 22-24 days, I had 16 periods last year.
2. Cramps that put me in bed for 2 days.
3. Sore boobs for the week before, during and the week after.
4. and feeling the ovulations the week after, is nice, it's like having a mini period with out the "period".

The question is do I go back on birth control? The condoms works, I haven't got pregnant in three years, I want more children, not like the one active toddler isn't enough.
I really don't want to gain another 60 pounds that the birth control methods did, like before baby. I have barely gotten 30 pounds off and don't want to look like a line backer for a pro football team.
To have the normal-sy of a longer in between in cycles, to go from 16 to 12 is appealing.
I guess I should just buy stock in female products and Midol.

Just need to vent a little!

Cramps! More than anything else, menstrual cramps. I have never experienced such pain in my life. Also the feeling like you're always wearing wet bathing suit bottoms and there's nothing you can do to dry them out. SO TERRIBLE!

I flow EXTREMELY heavy for 6 days. I hate it. I suffered from toxic shcok syndrome before, so tampons are a definite no no for me, and the pads suck!

I hate my period because it never comes on time, sooo irregular! For two months its was 35 days apart, then 30 days.... My last one was dec 29th and it is now feb 7th!!

All of it there is nothing "I like about" my periods except the fact that it is what lets us woman have babies.
