Bedridden during period?

[Summery]

Sounds very similar to my endo pain, accompanied with a heavy period can make you feel pretty miserable!
When it comes on strong, I'm doubled over in pain for many hours, and have to stay in bed for a day.
Did you come off birth control after bubs? I found after birth my endo has gotten worse (it was great for 5 years after a lap) and put it down to being off the pill, which really helps to keep endo at bay (lessens your symptoms and the disease from spreading)
Hope it gradually just gets better for you, it sounds pretty debilitating xxx

I used to. Having children and switching to a cup has helped.
You should really have it checked out. It happens a lot but that doesn't mean it's 'normal'.

You should get it check out for sure.

The only thing that has helped for me is the pill which is pretty much because I just skip my period all together and as Summery said its known to keep endo symptoms at bay. I hope you feel better soon. Any pain that causes you to double over should be investigated.

I think you also need to remember it's your first one in 19 months! My first one post mirena was horrendous, leaked through everything in just over an hour, but it settled quickly (thanks to accupunture) you can find places that have students training and the costs are much lower
