Period Day 9. FML.

[iamtwentytwo]

Horrendous period, day 9 with no signs of stopping. I've felt crampy, achey, bloated, tired, moody, brain foggy, throughout. Plus have additional stress which isn't helping. I'm so over it. Is it any cause for concern if it's a one off? I do feel like something's not right in my reproductive area and I've thought it for a long time. However my gp would tell you I have anxiety and IBS 😕

If you feel like somethings not right go to the doctor and ask for a referral. they will be able to do a scan and tests on you.

Don't feel like your reproductive health isn't important. It is and you don't have to live with painful periods. Don't let them fob you off with getting on the pill either, that just masks issues rather than cures them

My periods have always lasted between 10 and 12 days.
What you describe is my normal. But everyone is different and you know your body best.
If you feel this is not right and something is up. Get checked out, follow your gut
Hopefully a hot water bottle, pain killers and a yummy snack can make you feel better and have a good night.
