Periods Suck

[amaranth]

Always. There's no time periods don't suck. Well, I guess if you're trying to get out of sex then maybe it's useful. lol. 

I have a migraine, am nauseated, I'm so bloated my clothes don't fit, and one ovary is trying to kill me. 

Anyone want to share my dark chocolate and dark room?

I'm right there with you. CD3 here and this is probably one of the worst AFs of my life, if not the worse. I'm coming off a medicated, clomid, cycle and it's so much heavier and crampier (is that a word?!?) then normal.

That sounds awful I wonder if the clomid makes the hormone crash more dramatic than usual.

Will you be trying clomid again next cycle? How did you feel on it before the death period? I hope next month you get added to the WC baby boom!

amaranth Yes, periods SUCK so bad!

Ugh, I'm sorry, that sounds awful! Are your PP periods worse than before? I haven't gotten mine back yet, but I'm dreading it.

I hope you feel better soon! And you too awick14!

As a whole they have actually been better. I had one period from hell (a few months in, not the first one back) but otherwise they have been the same or better. Less cramping, less headaches, but more bloating.

I started clomid again yesterday. (CD3) and will take it again for 5 days. I actually ovulated on it which is great because sometime in the last few months my body has given up on TTC. I have only Od 3-4 times since last August. hopefully this next cycle is it for me, if not I will hopefully start seeing a RE by the end of summer.

hugs!! Periods blow!

I don't have mine currently, I just ended last week and it was miserable. Lately I've been getting a lot more headaches than ever before, it's getting annoying!

awick14 I'm sending SO many good thoughts and prayers your way!!!!! I hope this cycle is it for you!

((hugs)) amaranth...hope you feel better soon! I'm so dreading AF coming back...hope it stays away for a few more months, or 5! It's been a very nice 15 month break...here's to you not having many more before you get pg again!

awick14- praying that next month is your month friend! I cannot wait for the day I see your happy post on this board announcing your BFP!! I'm rooting for you big time!!

They sucked especially when I was a kid. I would be bed-ridden for at least two days, my doctor prescribed 800mg of Ibrophine because otc stuff didn't work, plus until I got on the pill at 16, they were erratic. oh, and LONGGGG. Within the last 2yrs I switched to the arm implant bc and it hasn't ridden me of my period completely, it does stop for a few months, but when it comes back it comes back with vengeance. I mean, I bleed for the ENTIRE month.

They REALLY sucked when I was a teen. I used to get cramps that were so bad that I would lose all color, pass out and get the cold sweats. After having two kids, they were right on par with active labor contractions.

You want to read a crazy story involving my once evil Aunt Flo? No? Too bad! 

When I was around 21 and taking a Non-Western philosophy class in college. I started having bad cramps in the middle of the lecture and knew if I stood up, I would pass out. I could hear the buzzing noise in my ears and I felt nauseated and the cramps were slowly getting worse. I had taken two ibruprofens but they weren't helping me at all.  I raised my hand and asked the teacher if someone could help me walk to the nurse's office, I didn't know what else to do.  She immediately had someone call 911. I guess I looked pretty pale....honestly I thought it was sort of an over-kill to get an ambulance involved. But sure enough, a firetruck and ambulance drove up on campus.  The teacher asked that everyone gather their belongings and class was done for the day.  They thought I was overdosing on something because they kept asking me what I had taken that morning. 

I was taken to the ER where I promptly threw up and I was given pain meds and my parents came and picked me up.  I was so embarrassed to go back to class after that.
