Hi whitevalkyrie,
It may take some time before you get good swelling again. As for getting used to the oxytocin, you need to change the way you look at it. It's not period cramps, it's a rush. An enjoyable rush. Oxytocin has been called the hugging hormone, the love hormone, and many other names like that. Ask your mother to teach you how to breathe, or to "puff away the pain", like she learned for labor. Once you get to know the feelings that are behind the pain, you're gonna love it!
