Progesterone ocp?: Perhaps you can try a birth control pill that only contains progesterone. The p portion of the bill blocks ovulating and the chemicals that can cause cramps. Also, depoprovera could be an option. Blocking ovulation all but eliminates cramps. Over wise, you are left with nsaid's or meds for cramps (ponstel).
