Hi ladies,
I just wondering how painful your periods are....? Is your AF:  A ) dont even notice, no cramps forget you even have it.
 B) Little crampy, nothing you cant handel.
 C) Sore and crampy, take pain relief when it starts but by the arvo your fine, carry your day on as usual.
 D) Really sore cramps, Take pain relief every 4 or so hours, cant do much except blob, hotties are your saviour.
 E ) So sore you can't even get out of bed !
I'm a mix between C and D depending on how heavy my AF is each month, today its a definate D Ouchies tomorrow I will be B ------------- TTC for 4 1/2 years IVF #1 - April 2012 short BFP, no frosties IVF #2 - August 2012, BFP!! 3 frosties! http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Mine usually goes: Day 1 - B Day 2 & 3 - C and then will be a mix of A & B for the rest of the days. Sometimes it'll be a mix of C & D but that's not often! ------------- Formerly Wishin41 |

Mine is A luckily, but I definitely notice them - have had 10 AFs since getting it back in October Although YAY for me I'm on CD25 now which is the longest cycle yet by about 10 days 
I feel for everyone who has painful AFs ------------- DD 4yrs DS 2yrs http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

My whole cycle has become "worse". Its gone from 28 to 26 days which is sooo annoying to get AF sooner. I can feel exactly when I ovulate, its , discharge around ov is soooo much more compared with my nothing before kids. I get the odd cramp now, whereas prior to kids I had nada.
I know I still have it easy compared with some but its still ass for me especially around ov. |

I have to agree with kebakat. I feel every single ovulation each month, my cycle has been an absolute mess, anything from 21 - 31 days and AF is much much heavier than it ever was before. I also get cramps, clotting and feel terrible during AF now.
Prior to DD, my AF was light, extremely regular and I never felt ovulation. ------------- http://lilypie.com"> http://lilypie.com">

Pre baby I was a combination of C, D and E. Usually 2 days before AF arrived and day 1 and 2 were D and E then graduated to C.
Post baby, well I havent really had a proper AF only random on going break through bleeding/spotting and its more a B. ------------- Our Angel July 08 Gone but not forgotten

Mostly A for me, sometimes up to a B. It is more one of the pre-menstral symptoms I have to take painkillers for. I get really achy legs which makes it really uncomfortable sitting still or when lying in bed... then I know AF is on the way. ------------- DS1 January 2011 August 2012http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  |

Unbelievably, mine have got better after every mc. So I am virtually 'no cramps' these days. I guess that's the one good thing that has come of mc'ing huh...

A big fat D! I'd love to say E but life is too busy! Pregnancy is my sanity time
I'd love to add a new option to the list ... F - want to hurt someone, often vomit painful!!! But I have endo which needs some surgery so that doesn't help the situation. ------------- Ev, Mum to: Carys Ruby - 4 October 2007 Spencer James - 2 July 2010 |
