So my period symptoms this cycle have been so different and the worst they have ever been. I’m curious if anyone has had the issues I am and found out later it was something else such as pcos or endometriosis or something else because I feel like death. This cycle started good. No pain before period starting. No sore boobs. Nothing. It started. Has been much much heavier than normal. I then noticed I am very bloated this time. I get some bloating normally but even my husband noticed how big my belly has bloated. Then today I have had such bad cramps it caused diarrhea and it was the worst pain I have had in a very long time. I would compare it to contractions with labor. It made me fold over in pain. I started sweating and wasn’t sure if I had to puke or poop. I also got light headed. It was like this for over an hour and it has lessened but I still have a decent amount of pain. I have had bad cramps but man this was abnormal and awful. Any advice would help.
I haven’t gone this year but my regular provider has done my pap and things have been good. I plan on talking with her or at least noting this month because it was so bad. I have considered ablation or a hysterectomy since having my tubes tied because I typically get severe cramping when I should be ovulating. To the point I went in because I thought I was having a tubal pregnancy. So something is going on but it’s all over the place with when it happens. And so far nothing has been seen.
@tiera_shaye, what type of tubal did you get? That might have something to do with your pain if the pain started right around the same time? I hope you find relief!
@momgroupreject, they cut a decent section out but I don’t know if they cauterized them or sutured or what after. I just know they sent off the sections they cut out to the lab . I know I don’t have the clips though haha.
Is there a chance you are pregnant? I'm NOT tryin to scare you at all girl, but your description sounds EXACTLY how I felt when I had my miscarriage. The pain was so intense, they are actual contractions, that I was nauseous and eventually threw up. The cramping, pain, sweating and all that lasted for about a day off and on. Then I bled for like a week after.
I shouldn’t be. I have my tubes tied. But it’s crazy my belly is so bloated and round my husband was like jeez if I didn’t know better I would say that is a pregnant belly. This has been the worst period o have ever had. It’s crazy. The bloating hasn’t gone down either. I may take a test to ease my mind because this is all so abnormal. And even if it was a miscarriage I would assume I may be able to pick up hcg still. But what scares me is the cramps literally felt like birth. I had pressure and was so sick. So it has me wondering.
Not trying to scare your or add doubt to you but could it possibly be a miscarriage?
The chances would be low. I have my tubes tied but interesting theory. I have had more clots. And it’s just all around different. I will have to keep an eye on my symptoms more in case things get worse.
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.

A Statement from Mom.Life:
Hey everyone!
Last night, a new user began messaging our moms asking for private pictures of toddlers and young children. This is obviously unacceptable behavior, and the account was banned immediately. Although thankfully extremely rare on Mom.Life, several users were understandably upset by this, so we wanted to clarify a few things:
First off, Mom.Life has an absolute zero tolerance policy for child abuse and those who would prey on children. We strive to ...
the amount of women who are clueless about their own anatomy is so sad and shocking. a lot of the women are older than me and have more children then I do 😳
now I understand that everyone has their own opinion on the topic and grown adults can do whatever they want with their bodies but to deny facts and make up false statements about your own anatomy when it comes to your unborn child is just so disappointing.

so yes ima go hard in the comments bec...
I have endo and my periods are like this, when I do have them. Sometimes I’ll go months without bleeding but still get the very intense cramping. Have you had a gyno visit this year? It might help to make an appt.
I do heat and Tylenol/Motrin. At this point I’m only having periods maybe every 3 months but it’s still painful when I don’t. Unfortunately the resolution is some type of hormone therapy or a hysterectomy if you’re eligible/done having kids.
