Dear uterus!

[MrsFabuloso]

I have no advice but just wanted to say what you've described is what I get too since having kids. My period lasts 6-7days, I get terrible back and tummy pain, and sometimes even joint pain. I get an achey vulva too. It's a much heavier flow too. I have put it down to being the fact I don't take the pill anymore, and I did pre kids. So this is my natural cycle.

Since two kids mine also are SUPER heavy!!! Really badly. But painwise there is virtually none?
Whereas i used to get heaps of pain.
Have you tried EPO?

Could you be lacking in something? Do you eat enough protein?

Thanks girls.
3littlemonkeys that's me to a T. The pain is in my vuvla and it like a throbbing muscle pain :-/
i think I will go to the gp there have been lots of things not feeling right lately like nausea etc so best I get checked out!
Tanya I usually get iron defficent so maybe that's it!

I got exactly this after my twins. I started using a menstrual cup instead of tampons which did help a little, but it also allowed me to measure exactly how much my loss was each month which meant my GP took me seriously. I ended up getting a mirena coil which has helped massively by stopping my periods but after 3 years they are starting to come back so I am going to ask for a referral to a gyne for an ablation or (fingers crossed) a hysterectomy to put the pain to an end once and for all.

Quite possibly, maybe try a sup for a couple of months and see if it helps.

That sux. Could the throbbing possibly be from a varicose vein? I know i had enlarged veins when pregnant and got that throbbing type pain. Always worth getting checked in case they can do something to help. xx

I have exactly the same thing since having the girls, was good for the first period or two, then BAM worse than ever. I've just purchased a menstrual cup (much to DHs disgust lol), hoping it may help....can't hurt to see your gp though x
