Hey all
Over the years I've had painful periods, but now they're becoming unbearable. 2 days before AF is due, I can be doubled over with major stomach cramps and back pain. The pain often radiates into my thighs and (sorry if this is TMI!) but I get alot of pain in my bum when needing to "go" or fart lol! The pain can be so bad at this point that I'll be sat on the loo in floods of tears practically folded in half. I'm usually pretty energetic but at these times of the month, I'll be exhausted for no apparent reason. AF will come and wow it's heavy. And bright red. For 3 days it's heavy and red (again sorry for TMI) and I'm usually cramped up pretty much the whole time. Then on Day 4, it seems to ease off quite alot to spotting and the colour darkens to a brownish then on Day 5 I'm usually finished. The pains will carry on thru out and it works out to be about 10 days of pain but only a few days of bleeding.
Then .... a week goes by and I'll know that I'm going to ovulate (I dont use any hormonal contraceptions) because I'll have identical pains to when I'm going to come on my period.. the thigh pains, the bum pain, the belly cramps. I'll feel this for a few days then they ease off.
My cycles seem to be shortening too. Over the last few months they've gone down to 25 days. So I seem to have a week off from pain and then it all starts again with either AF or ovulation
I could kinda cope with it when I wasnt working but now that I'm back at work, I cant be taking days off here there and everwhere for this
What do you guys reckon? Could this be Endometriosis??
