Cycle Day 3 aka 3 circle of hell

I haven't really googled it or asked my friends but cycle day 3 is the worst! Only second to cycle day 4. I get cramps so bad it feels like my uterus is trying to contain the cast of River Dance. Either that or I am trying to birth a hippo. Cycle day 3 is just everything wrong with getting your period. I was so excited to have to suck in my massive bloated tummy to fit in my pants this morning. I did finally get rid of the cramping but it took Codeine! However, I get to start clomid today...WOOT WOOT! Bring on the hot flashes and grumpy mood.
