Just had to see if anyone has some good advice for me... I am using an IUD for birth control (I love it), but when it is that time of the month, I get some pretty bad cramps. It doesn't keep me from working out or running (I have no choice being a Marine), but if there is anything out there that would make me more comfortable, I would like to hear some suggestions.

I've read that caffeine can make cramping worse...so minimizing yor caffeine intake could help. Ibuprofin and exercise help alleviate my cramps.
