I have had period like cramping & aching for 4 days now.
when going to the loo (#2) it eases off a bit, but doesn't go away and then it gets worse again.
I had my gallbladder removed last October and have had some changes in my digestion & bowel movements, sometimes cramps that go when I poo or fart (sorry) but not a lasting one like this.
My youngest is 8 months old and is partially bf - and with the older ones my period would return typically around this time.
after my 5th one I noticed that I'd get cramps and pains when ovulating and after my 6th ov pains would last maybe 2 days and be more painful than previously (thanks body)
so it fits that it's periods returning and the symptoms are progressively worse (BabyZing is our 7th) but still a bit long to be now on day 4 of this pain.
Am I missing something? could it be just a period "struggling" or a diet related problem? or something else?
BTW my diet is rubbish, sleep is rubbish, life is stressful & frustrating, and months of kids being ill one after another I feel run down.
if it's a period of course I'll know in about 10-12 days, but I worry it's something else.
any ideas?
