As I sit here at 4am in the bath after being woken up by pain, I’m feeling really fed up.
People don’t really speak about periods so I’m trying to understand if mine are normal.
My periods are crippling with a blunt stabbing pain that comes every few minutes, they are heavy and I often have embarrassing situations even when using night pads as I’ve leaked on clothes/bed sheets. I often throw up, and when I urinate on my period, the toilet water goes dark red (sometimes black looking) I just seem to lose a lot of blood. When I urinate it really stings, as if the blood is making my urine acidic?? I’m not sure, it’s almost like a uti but it goes when my period does. I’ve also had fertility issues, 4mc, no kids.
I’m just wondering if this sounds like any period related condition such as endometriosis or something I need to get looked at by a professional or would I just be wasting their time? I don’t know anybody with endometriosis to speak to about the symptoms. I worry about my reproductive health, things just don’t feel normal. For years I’ve been on the mini pill just to avoid having a period altogether as they’ve always been like this, but that’s not an ideal long term solution for me.
Thanks in advance x
