Monthly Pains

As a woman, I really hate the time of the month whenever I get my period as it always leads to cramps and a general horrid feeling. Once I had really bad cramps and when I went to see a doctor, I was told that they were caused by progesterone hormones which go haywire during this time of the month. He could only give me some painkillers for it and it looks like I'll need to deal with it every month! Sigh, it's tough being a woman sometimes!
