hi sorry about your painful cramps...you know when you go to the bathroom rub and massage your stomach so most of it can come out...and get a hot water bottle...that will ease the cramps when your having them...

I had large blood clots with my period as did my mother and as does my sister.  Of course, with them came the horrible cramps, nausea, and other things for all seven days.  I went to my doctor, and she put me on birth control.  Things are definitely a lot better now, though I did eventually have to begin taking the pill so that I only have a period every four months.  

I'd recommend talking to your doctor because you shouldn't have to endure that.
