Hello all I am 7 weeks out and I am having my second period which just started yesterday.  My cramps are sooo bad.  I have taken Tylenol but it just isn't cutting it.  Does anyone have any suggestions on what else I may be able to take?  I am in so much pain I am considering seeing if my doctor can squeeze me in today for a quick appointment.  All suggestions welcome.

Try Tylenol Menstrual, or Midol.  Sometimes they have something that helps a bit better than plain Tylenol.  You will have to wait until the next pill time (i.e. 4 hours after last Tylenol) so you don't take too much.

Mine were bad as well, and ended up back on the pill.  When you do see your doctor, discuss it with him/her and see if there is something you can do to help with this.  It might be the pill, or another contraceptive.

Heat pad, and maybe some Raspberry Tea.

Long hot bath with Epsom salts, get lots of liquids. Exercise can help too.  Not sure why or how but gas x strips seem to help, worth a shot.
