Bowel issues feeling like period cramps?

[Lapinblanc88]

Hello

I posted a question earlier this week about period cramps during early pregnancy but go no response. Maybe thats quite rare. Couldn't find much online either.

Im 7 weeks pregnant after ivf

I have deep infiltrative endo around many organs and lately I feel intense daily period pain which are almost always relieved by a very long and painful bowel movement..it makes me think that it's not my uterus but bowel involved? .very strange . Wonder of I have bowel endo which has become aggravated by the pregnancy hormones

When I used to suffer excruciating pains during my periods I would get a relief when going to the loo but would still be in pain.

Now it's almost like the pain disappear.

Has anyone got that? Any solutions? It's so debilitating and I worry about miscarriage...😩

Hi I’ve had braxton hicks which is supposed to happen later on in pregnancy could this be diet related lots of fibre ect. Endo can be painful my advice would be to see your gp to put your mind at rest

Thank you .GP and IVF clinic are useless. They just say I have to wait for my scan.I'm careful with my diet

I feel the period pain is directly related to my bowel

Hi Lapin, I have just replied to you on my post. Firstly, congrats on your BFP! Secondly, I know what you’re experiencing as I used to get that when I had my period (I also bled a lot from the back).

Could you be constipated maybe? I had a bit of a scare at 9 weeks because I was getting period like cramps and when I went to the toilet, there was blood (from the back) but apart from that I can’t say I’ve suffered that badly.

Do you have an endometriosis nurse specialist you can speak to? xxx
