Hello

I found this all very interesting, as I am suffering similar issues. After my 2nd pregnancy (both 2nd c-sections) I started to get the worst periods I've ever had (I started at age 11, almost 40 now). I get very bad pms, to the extent that almost every month for the last 18 months I have been convinced I was pregnant (never had this before pregnancies). Since February I now also have episodes at the beginning of each period of pain similar to labour, which results in me getting very hot, dizzy, feel like I'm going to pass out, have to run to the toilet not sure if I need to be sick, faint or have bowel movement. Generally it ends in a bowel movemtent, then the pain lessens.

This morning I was woken by pain with got progressively worse over ten minutes, I was very hot, couldn't think straight for the pain, thought I was going to pass out, ran to the toilet to do what felt like the biggest poo ever, went very cold, & one of the scariest things is that my arms & lower arms went stiff & I couldn't move them for a few minutes. It happened again later in the day, although slightly milder.

I live in the UK so I can't go straight to testing, but I am going to go the doctors next week as I am quite worried about adhesions as I have had the 2 c-sections & really would like to know what is going on. I would like a third baby, so want to find out if that is possible or not, but I am quite scared.

I was just wandering how it turned out. I too have the same symptoms and live in the UK. Takes forever to get anywhere medically. I think I have adhesions, but very reluctant to have surgery again.

I too had this happen last month and again last night at 2am. Very scary! Did you find out any information. On what's causing this?

I have this same problem! I had pretty bad cramps when I was younger, but they lessened and I rarely have any, except for when I have a bowel movement during the first couple days of my period. My periods are very regular and average, and I have never had any other problems than this. My friend who is my age (23) recently had to have an ovarian cyst removed, and I started worrying because I had always thought the pain was normal. I didn't know how many things could go wrong in there! :/

I have been reading all these things and it had helped so muc, days before my period no matter what I will all of a sudden get a feeling like i swallowed a brick then I'll run to the bathroom and my body will not stop flushing itself of ALL my feces and I have severe anul or intestine spasm that feel like I'm dying and I'll get the chills really bad??? The last time I started with pain I kept drinking Tons of water and my body kept flushing out without the severe I want to die pain (it was right on the edge of that pain) but every time I drank a half of my water bottle it would make me potty without the severity??not sure if this will help anyone but ours the only thing plus taking miralax that had cut back the agonizing pain or the time I use to have this for an hour and be in bed for a week with a really sore stomach but taking stool softener and fiber with alot of water helps... I am going to get a colonoscopy if it ever happens again cause the pain is unbearable... Thanks for all the help and suggestions on here women thank goodness for sights like this to help

I have the same thing to the point they did an ultrasound. Everything was normal, this month it's back and OMG it hurts to walk, sit, have a BM is like having a baby all over again. It's all across the front of my lower abdomen and I can't take it anymore... Back to the doc on monday cause they need to do something!

Your body thinks the IUD is a foreign object and it thinks it needs to try to push it out and when it's not able to push it out then it will create a white blood cell attack on the area thinking it's an infected area.... same exact thing happened to me when I got the marina and I had to get it removed because my body was going in such an attack mode I had a temperature and white blood cell count was sky high .... I would get it removed and switch to something else like the Implanon

Most likely endometriosis. The only way I knew I had it was similar pains, and when I finally went off birth control, the symptoms were no longer masked and within a year I had surgery for severe endo. I've now had two surgeries. Doctors do not understand endo much and usually brush off symptoms but you can't let it go or you could become infertile. Push for testing.

I experience this pain too and it's worst on the first two days of my period and I'm 14 so when I get it at school I feel like screaming but I can only sit on my seat till the pain subsides :(

Sounds like endometriosis.

Hi, I'm glad I'm not the only one! I'm 33 years old and the same thing has happened to me since I was a teenager. I've seen more than 3 different specialist and no one was able to figure out the problem. Last time I brought this up was over 15 years ago, but I'm hoping now that someone has figured out what this is. It's very painful, worse than labor pains!

I've been having the same problem. I've always assumed it was my cervix, and it hurts when I have a BM because it presses against my cervix, since the skin between is so thin. But I also have some sharp pain when I sit down, and sometimes when I walk. Though unlike many on this thread, I'm only 16

Same here. At first I thought it was the endometriosis but my doctor didn't believe me and I really want to know. I was fine until I started birth control. Now it's extremely painful and I don't know what to do besides heavily medicate with ibprophin and anything else that promises to relieve the pain.
