Bowel movements during period

Sorry for the title girls but is it just me or do your bowel movements suddenly change on your period? My period started last night and in less than 12 hours I have opened my bowels four times! This never happens normally only when I have my period. I'm having my lap tomorrow so I will mention it to the surgeon then.

It's actually fairly common for there to be a change in your bowel movements in correlation with your menstrual cycle for anyone but especially if you have endo. I wouldn't worry about it unless it gets to be extreme one way or another but it is still worth mentioning to your doctor just so they are aware.. Best of luck on your lap!
