Hi. Yesterday I woke up with excruciating period pains! :'( I usually have pains at this time of the month but yesterdays were in the back, my side and hurt like mad! Anyway, after a few pain killers and a long soak in the bath, they eventually subsided. Today, I went to work and my period were beserk - all heavy, clotting etc that was so bad that it went through my clothes several times and when I stood up I could physically feel it running out of me! (Sorry about being so graphic!). I went home and a few hours later it slowed back to normal again. Does anyone have any ideas what it was or why it might have happened??
