I had my first period at the age of 12 and for years my periods were really irregular that I would have 4 periods in one month lasting a few days each then nothing for 2 months etc ... they were so bad and intense with pain I was put onto the pill by my doctor. I've been on the pill now almost three years and for the first 2 years it was fab!! Regular periods with little to no pain at all!!
However, about a year ago that all changed. My periods are still regular and last for about 3 days (which is a good thing :-D ) but I'm bleeding heavier than I ever have before!! The pain is so bad some days I can not even straighten my body and have to stay curled up in a ball. I have migraine like headaches for 3 days before I'm due on (they always start on my first 'rest' day of my pill and stop the day I come on) Also when I'm on my preiod and need to go to the toilet for a poo (sorry for this next bit :$ ) the pain is ecrutiating!!! I can't describe what it feels like only that it feels like my insides are about to fall out. I always scream with the pain and often find myself crying. I also get sharp shooting pains if i ever have wind. I went to see my doctor about 3 months ago and she has told me all of this is normal and i shouldn't worry ... but I am!! It's affecting my day-to-day life.
I'm not the healthiest of people I will admit that, but nothing has changed to make this happen all of a sudden. Does anyone else suffer with these symptoms?? If so do you have any suggestions of how to overcome them apart from "taking paracetamol" as my doctor continually tells me!!
