TMI - I think I've asked this before

[montereybride]

Does anyone else get really bad diarrhea that is seemingly tied to equally bad cramps?

Like, I'm having trouble figuring out the difference between needing to rip my uterus out through my vagina and needing to run to the bathroom to sit on the toilet.

Also, there is nothing cute about Coco the Wonderpup using my finger, chin, ears, and neck as chew toys when I'm doubled over in pain and laying in bed with her trying to convince her it's not party party time and that mama needs more sleep.

Ok, it's a little cute.

And I've decided I'm eating Ruffles today. And only Ruffles. With onion dip.

I get the runs when my period shows up. It's evil, evil, evil.

I poop A LOT before my period, I know some people get diarrhea around their period as well.

I had horrible diarrhea last week that definitely had cramping but that was a virus or something because we all ended up with some form of it.

Sorry, hope you feel better.

eta: omg a their and they're mistake

My angry uterus also gives me diarrhea during the worst 2 days of my period. I would say I can't wait until menopause, but from what I hear it sucks just as bad.

[iamgrace]

Yeah. This happens to me sometimes. Not every time, but it happens.

Yeah its those punk ass hormones to blame.

I always thought it was because all the cramping just forced the poo out. Obvs I'm dumb

[LeggsBenedict]

every time.

I actually asked my gyno about this once.  She told me that it's excess "uterus cramp" hormone or whatever affecting the bowels.

That's not exactly the scientific explanation word for word, but more or less. The prostoglandin/estrogen/progesterone that cause the uterine cramps also affect the smooth muscle of the intestinal tract ergo diarrhea.

Yep. I used to get killer cramps. Like, passed out on the bathroom floor they were so bad. I always thought that the diarrhea was the nervous shits because I was so nervous about how much pain I was in. I see now that it was not. Lol.

[jane6672]

I get bad poops on my period.

Not fair.

[papie]

Yes, I call it my period.  It fucking sucks. 

[hymen]

There is seriously nothing worse than dealing with diarrhea and period blood at the same time. Ugh.

Luckily my days of omg super heavy cramping have disappeared.

[missbella]

Yep. I get a milder version when I ovulate too. Fun times.

I'm sorry, but this is wildly hilarious coming from someone with the screen name 'hymen.'

[FastHands]

Period Shits. Absolutely.
