Hi when I had periods (on pill now so none!) I took starflower oil, it's like evening primrose oil but has a higher concentration of gla and it really helped me especially breast tenderness as they used to kill. However taking those tablets meant less soreness and I could sleep without a bra on, God what we go through! You can buy both from sainsbury or Holland and barret. I would think boots sell them also. It might be trial and error, if it doesn't work for you at least you have tried it. Take care xxx
