Got my first period today after having the coil removed on tues. All seems normal enough so far. I have cramping but nothing I can't handle . I'm nervous about it getting worse tho !

Does anyone take evening primrose oil ? I used to but stopped when I was on the mini pill etc. Maybe I should start again?
