Venting Tmi - periods

[Someplace_nice]

When I started my birth control it made my periods so horrible, the first one after my bc a huge blob of mucus and blood came out and it made my cramps so unbearable. I was getting burns and had the heat pad on 24/7, when a cramp would hurt I would drop to the floor in pain, slowly my periods went away, before bc I was having my period for at least 2 months the longest I had it was 5, I would sometimes have it once a month but usually it would skip and prolong. I got off bc this year and now my period is coming back big time, tho my normal periods never hurt, this one does and I can't help but to wonder if this is permanent. I want to have kids but if I am infertile than I would be so pissed and would probably get so depressed that I'd try to CTB. I am in pain and fear that it may get worse. When I would have days of just pain I wouldn't eat and I can't do that now, I'll get yelled at, the house would also be a huge mess when I'd be able to go downstairs and clean.

That sounds horrid, I'm sorry :\

Have you considered seeing a doctor about endometriosis or PCOS?

PMS only describes your symptoms about a week before your period, not during your period itself. Debilitating cramps are not par for the course, it might be worth bringing up with a doctor or gynecologist.

I have brought it up with 2 other doctors last year they both just didn't acknowledge it. It's really hard to get a doctor to actually take a women serious especially when it's about their period. Even female doctors brush it off a lot and it sucks but it's just how it is and at least the doctor from when I was a child told me something even if it got my mom and I really mad
