My uterus hates me

[Amity]

I'm confused, what do other people have to do with orgasms?

Couldn't agree more right now.

Today, CD52, AF arrived in full force, so I've cancelled work and am drinking coffee and eating chocolate and staying in bed in my pjs all day. Blergh.

After three babies my uterus is out to make the rest of my ovulating days a living hell.
Has anyone found their period any heavier than before babies??
I have just finished period number two since having my last bubs and the pain and bleeding are unbearable and omg mood swings leading up to it are terrible!!!
I too am looking forward to menopause

Yep Mine is MUCH worse after kids. I never had period pain at all before kids, now... yep now my uterus hates me!

Has anyone tried a uterine ablation?

I have a friend who had this done a few weeks ago. Am interested to see how she went, but I don't think I personally will do it till I am closer to 40.

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?

hehe Cups are great for that though aren't they! Mine also shows I bleed much more than normal. Great learning that at uni last year and thinking... hmmm that is my amount on just day 1 and 2! :S I am certain I am heading for a prolapse too. Damn 10lb first born!

ETA- I just head straight for Voltaren and the wheat bag now for day 2 of mine... no point mucking around for me when the others do jack squat!

Different before kids. It was hell. I would be vomiting, waking up sobbing from the pain, sometimes I would have to walk, other times I would have to lie down. My body did not know whether to be constipated or have the runs. Had a lap at 21 and they found no problems.

After kids, still painful but not quite as bad. I have some back issues now, so I find my back pain flares up. Now through I can go a super tampon in less than 2 hours

In regards to ablation - ask Trillian. She has previously provided some very interesting info on it. Can't for the life of me find it though.
