Painful and emotional day..

I got up this morning and my pad was clean, so didn’t bleed all night so thought my period was done (don’t go back on the pill till Tuesday night) so sorted my self out and of course two hours later I leak and so heavy! And the pain has got so much worse? So back in the shower I went and I just had mood swings all day!

I couldn’t even enjoy being with the family today for my nephews bday, iv been having to contraction pains (haven’t had a child but I went from tense cramp to calming down, then start to tense up again constantly all day on and off)

Now going to bed with a hot water bottle and going to watch crappy tv! Hoping this pain didn’t last long, I’m exhausted but know I won’t sleep with this pain!

The joys of endometriosis!🎗

Thanks

Emma

Hello Emma!

Sorry to hear of your pain. I know the feeling of seeing the red on the pad and it feels like a punch to the stomach quite literal too. I cannot believe I found this because all week I explains my pain as like contractions very painful and piercing. I'm undiagnoised (got lap in March) but I think i know how you feel. Best thing is to distract yourself as much as possible I know how hard that can be but try and find some comedies if possible or something light and stress free to watch. also drink lots of water and use this time to wear he comfiest fluffiest clothes ever.

Good luck xx

I've been describing my pains as contractions for a while as they are so sharp and sudden then ease off!

I hope relaxing helped and you feel better really soon. It is rotten when it times itself with family events!

Sending big hugs xxxx

I feel exactly the same. My first period for 7 months after prostrap injections. That’s how I describe my pains. My back is killing me. I’m hunched over, can’t stand straight. Spent hours in the bath to ease it. Have work today and don’t know how I’m going to do it x
