is this normal when you get your period?

[mumofone2818]

ok so firstly i have the implant so i dont have regular periods & to be honest barely ever do unless i am extremely stressed or depressed then i usually get it. I thought today was friday and tried to phone the docs but it's saturday lol so asking here to see if it's nothing

So 2 days ago i woke up and felt like i had cystitis starting (only ever had it before when i was preggers) so for precaution took a test that day & it said negative so off I went to Tesco to get something to treat it instead of bothering the GP. Later that day I then started to bleed alot (and still am) so took it that I was just having a period and all is well, yesterday i had extremely bad cramps really low down in my stomach and i was physically sick a few times aswell out of the blue, today I have woke up and had this horrendous pain in the back left side of my body - it gets worse certain ways I move and hurts when I breathe.

Is any of this normal things that can happen with a period? I tried google and its coming up all lots of serious stuff so i am turning to you all for advice

No
Not normal. Call your gp/ooh service.

Different people experience periods differently so one person's normal is another person's abnormal. If this is abnormal for you, seek medical advice.

You thought you were developing a UTI and you now have back pain and vomiting. You must see out of hours today because it's possibly become a kidney infection.

That certainly wouldn’t be normal for me, but more importantly it’s not normal for you.

Call out of hours.

Is this what your periods were like before you had the implant?

I only started having periods like OP describes in my early 20s, and they stopped after I had kids. So they can vary in life, I found. Mefenamic acid is nice stuff.

thanks everyone, i wasn't wanting to phone nhs24 incase it was norm but i will contact them in an hour or two if it doesn't loosen off! My periods before the inplant were very regular in when the came how long they lasted and i only ever felt a sickness feeling because of the bloating but nothing like this ever before.

I took a days cousr of cystitis and it cleared up but started to feel it slightly again,

thanks for your advice and words xx

Hope you got seen op and it resolved?
