Surprise poo before period 🎉

[Caerulea]

So this is becoming more regular, that the day I'm going to come on or just before, I get a pump that isn't a pump at all & is, instead, a surprise & very liquid poo. Yay for me.

No cramps or pain or warning.

Am mid 40's, recently had the copper coil out, periods still regular but sooo much lighter & shorter. Had an iron infusion which worked brilliantly back in February, recent bloods all clear on inflammation etc.

So is this really a thing for me now?

I used to have similar due to hormone change

I don't get that but I do get looser movements (?) a day or so before my period starts, I think it's fairly common. Incontinence though not so much , maybe book a doctor's appointment if it keeps happening

*November, not February

I don't suffer incontinence at any other time, urinary either. Which is why this catches me out

Ah, the joys of period shits. X

Someone on mumsnet once referred to it as javelin arse.

Yup. Every month. Lovely.

That's not what javelin arse is, Javelin arse is a very sharp pain up the bottom and up inside you. If you've had it, you'll know. V painful.
