My uterus hates me

[Traveller]

Has anyone tried a uterine ablation?

I've got raspberry leaf tea left over here from trying to get my last little bubba out! I will try that next month

Since my lap for endo I can get away with nurofen, panadine and nurofen plus - not all at once of course! Before my lap nothing seemed to work, I was on indocid years ago can't even remember what type of med that is!

And yes I am lop poking forward to menopause as well!

[Floweryfields]

yes I am lop poking forward

that has to be the most awesome autocorrect I've seen on here for a while!

[forshelby]

Nurofen plus was always my go to.

Your uterus doesn't hate you................ it's just being rebellious lol.

[Razzberry]

Hahahaha damn auto correct!

Naprogesic. There have been days where I would marry Naprogesic. Pain killers dull the pain, but for me, Naprogesic actually seems to stop the cramping altogether. And oh, the relief. Yes, I'd marry it. Have it's babies. Little, blue, pain-free babies. That is how much I love Naprogesic on days when my uterus hates me. Hope you find a drug/treatment that works as well for you. xox

[Floweryfields]

Yep naprogesic works differently to other things like pain killers - it actually works to stop the uterine cramping that causes the pain, whereas some of the others stop the pain, but not the cause of the pain itself.

Ok thanks I'll pop to the chemist tomorrow

Of course all the pain could be over by then as I think my uterus is trying to escape my body right now ow!

if you like tea traveller, then teas to have for bad rebellious uterus are ginger root tea or chamomile tea:
For menstrual cramps
Ginger root- you slice and steep for 1-5 minutes, and then add some honey for sweetness if you like
chamomile- either dry leaves or tea bags are fine

Raspberry leaf tea is for toning and good blood flow to the uterus- more for toning the uterus up and keeping it healthy, than for soothing menstrual cramps.

[Traveller]

I'm not a huge fan of ginger drinks, but am sipping a cup of chamomile as I type

isn't it fabulous to be a woman :/

This thread is nuts. Why the heck are so many of us screaming in pain every month It's so wrong! There's something not quite right about that...

Anyway, Trav, have you thought that there might be more going on - i hate to suggest endo, or a cyst or something?

[Traveller]

As I said it's been a few years since I had periods, but last time the gynacologist did a scan and said there were no fybroids or anything, and I seem to remember my periods as a teenager being almost as bad before I went on the pill so I think it could just be me. I know I have heavier than normal periods (thanks to my mooncup for proving that to me in ml's ) and that is worse than when I was a teenager but I think that's normal after kids, especially after twins and a massive placenta site.

I'm fairly certain I have some sort of uterine prolapse going on though, could that make things worse?

Has anyone tried a uterine ablation?

is thst where they laser your cells? i have a friend who has. i can ask her some questions if you want or pass on details if you want to ask her about it.

[Traveller]

yes thanks, I asked about it when I got my mirena after the twins but I was told I was too young then. I'd love to know what age it would be appropriate.

[~TT40~]

all i know for sure is you need to be done with kids. because it destroys your lining if you get preg it can be dangerous. but she hasnt had a period since. ill see if she minds me giving you her contacts

[Traveller]

I am so done with kids, trust me!

I have two days of hideous pain each month (the other days are tolerable when I swallow iboprufen). I've also had asprin before which also works.

If I'm at home DH will fix me up a hot water bottle a couple of iboprufen and, in the evening, a brandy. I swear by the brandy. It's my great-grandmother's advice. The only trouble is that it gives you a killer headache in the morning! You can feel the brandy warm your belly. Combine it with a hot water bottle and a girly movie and I can make it through.
