No - oral contraceptive pills usually decrease menstrual pain. The cramps we get during our periods are usually due to the uterus contracting in order to get rid of the endometrium (which is the bleeding we get). Oral contraceptive pills reduce these contractions and should therefore reduce the pain. If your cramps are getting worse, there may be some other reason for this and you should make an appointment with your doctor.

Yes, I used it for years. To help with cramps also use a heating pad on your lower back or tummy, drink hot tea, and stay away from sugar and caffeine. If you have PMS along with your cramps the above suggestions will help with that as well. You may have to do what I finally did if your PMS/cramps are bad enough and that is get birth control pills. The birth control took care of all of my problems with a period.
Can a chemist in Sydney prescribe you birth pills if you've bought some from them do they keep records of your prescription?
Birth control has many uses other than being a contraceptive. It can help control acne, cramps, and headaches due to your time of the month. If your cramps from your period are getting really bad or you have acne that comes only around the time you get your period, a doctor can prescribe birth control to help regulate those symptoms. Otherwise just go to Planned Parenthood and you can get birth control for free! Some birth control prescriptions are a lot of money but if you have insurance the generic birth control is not that much money.
