We have a thread about hangover poo .......

[Notsoyummi]

how about period poo omg I often have to stop and breath mid push the cramps are soo bad!

[Mishegoss]

I'm speechless

[Crunchymum]

Is your thread about hangover poo or period poo?

[OohMavis]

Period poo is not my favourite, I have to say.

[DoesAnyoneReadTheseThings]

I thought it was just me! Why does no one tell you about this stuff! They should put it on a card in the box of tampons!

[Mishegoss]

We're a poo based forum today 😂

[WatchingFromTheWings]

I always feel a stone lighter and less bloated after a really good period poo!

[Lauracertain1988]

Hate that time of the month for that exact reason!

[steppemum]

one of my friends used to get really bad diarrhea with her period, apparently it is quite common, who knew?!

[JinkxMonsoon]

Progesterone levels are high during the second half of the menstrual cycle (from ovulation to the start of your next period). Progesterone acts like a muscle relaxant and makes the bowel sluggish.

It's the dropping of progesterone levels that triggers the bleed, and it also causes the bowel to start moving again. Hence period poo.

Here endeth today's biology lesson.

[MadHattersWineParty]

I am definitely rather 'upset' in the bowel department when I am on my lady-period

I only realised that wasn't that uncommon when I read about it on here a year or so back!

[Ladybird333]

I always have diarrhoea when I get my period. However today's poo horror was due to the beetroot I had for dinner last night. I caught a glimpse of the red bloodbath while I flushed and thought I must have shat out my guts.

[Notsoyummi]

Lol ladybird period poo is equivalent to pushing baby out of back passage

[Sparklesilverglitter]

Lady period 😂 I'm sorry I don't know why but that made me giggle

Period poo is not great OP, the cramps ouch!

[SurlyValentine]

Hangover poo = mushy, scared to fart for about six hours afterwards.

Period poo = in the words of Rachel Green, "like trying to blow a St Bernard out your ass."

[toffee1000]

They're fucking awful, aren't they?? They leave me feeling relieved yet exhausted.

[ICancelledTheCheque]

Period poos are the worst. It literally leaves me in searing agony

[TheTroutofNoCraic]

Have you ever noticed that wave of heat that rushes through your body doing a hangover poo...like being hugged by a ghost. :)

[IfartInYourGeneralDirection]

Both love and fear the period poo. Always feel great after

[NoTractorsAtTheTable]

A friend of mine refers to period poos as being "so big, you're hungry afterwards"

Couldn't quite look her in the eye after that revelation!

[HateSummer]

I agree OP! I also hate just before period poo. Horrible cramps.

I get weird poo cramps everytime I'm in TK Maxx, and drive home quickly to poop it out. I swear they have something in their air conditioning.

[Dontpanicpyke]

Lady period?

[CrazyDuchess]

period poos as being "so big, you're hungry afterward"

That's fucking genius

[Laiste]

I'm in the runny period poo camp.

So no big struggle to get it out, but there i am once a month wiping blood and shit all mixed up just loving womanhood

[Turquoisetamborine]

Why are you heavier during your period when you are pooing so much and losing blood??

[Notsoyummi]

Another of my least favourite is pasta poo urge can come on (suddenly)anytime after eating a big bowl of pasta I once stupidly decided on a 5 km walk around block after pasta halfway round I got the urge had to ring Dh to get me I was walking and clenching and sweating that was tough Dh reckons I should've gone in a field
