Lockdown and your period

[Pinkyandthebrain]

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone else has noticed their period/symptoms being worse since lockdown?

I just feel so weird at the moment; really tearful and sensitive. I can’t tell if it’s just pms or stress.

I have been trying for a baby for ages now with no luck and having another blood test tomorrow and I just feel very overwhelmed and sad at the thought of it, even though I have no problem with needles at all.

yes me, I had the worse period it lasted 3 weeks and was in so much agony. I was worried that I won't have enough pads to keep me going as there is nothing in stock in my local shops. but then it stopped. I then had a bladder infection last week. Completed antibiotics. but now suffering flare up pain.

Its OK, il be alright I was diagnosed end of 2018 and since come a long way mentally and emotionally. I have accepted it.

As for yourself try not to stress I know its so easy to say, than done. But stress does play a huge part in trying to conceive. Your body and mind and soul needs to be pure and relaxed.

something I learnt from getting counselling and it really did help when it came to me having my surgery.

I wish you all the best in having a family. x
