Oh Dear God... The pain

So, yesterday my period came. Right on the 20 day cycle schedule. At first, I had the occasional shooting pain. I took some ibuprofen and I was great for the next 24 hours.

Which leads to me to now, 24 hours later and I am in horrific pain. Like, punching pillows, writhing, fetal position pain. I recently looked up this stuff on forums and one lady was talking about these pains. She said they felt like labor pains! Obviously, I have no idea what labor pains feel like, but good god, these might be close. Right now, I'm laying on a heating pad, hoping that the ibuprofen is kicking in and I will actually be able to get some sleep, because the pain has gotten lesser as I write this.

I'm half tempted to go to the store right now (midnight) and get a huge thing of tonic water because it has quinine - a supposed wonder drug for period pains and water retention. 

I also did hot yoga today, because I'm trying to do 10 consecutive days. I couldn't even do some positions because of the pain, not even because I was tired (only on my 2nd class). 

So, that is where I am right now. Before, I had no spotting or weird discharge like I mentioned before. Everything was okay. Now, fuck my life.

And I'm still scared to even attempt having sex with this thing in. I feel like it's temperamental, and any hitting of the cervix might anger it. And that thought scares the living crap out of me. Like a whole new level of birth control: IUD anxiety!
