I was sterilised two years ago after having DD2 for medical reasons (regret it slightly but that's for another thread!) My periods used to be long not overly regular quite heavy but nothing major however since the sterilisation although my periods are regular and much shorter they are so so much more painful. The first 24hrs are the worst I'm pretty good with pain however it floors me everything month and always end up being sick with the pain. The bleeding is not as heavy but very clotty if you know what I mean. Has anyone else found this?
