Very Painful AF

I'm sure this is TMI but Man, I have never had so much pain from AF coming before, I feel like I just want to curl up in a ball and stay that way.  

I am having problems going the the bathroom because my insides feel like they are being pulled out of me.  I can't use a tampon either because it hurts to much to put it in.  

Has anyone experienced such a painful AF before?

This sounds weird but have you taken anything for gas? (mylicon) is great. I have bad cramping during AF and a lot of it is gas. Another is constipation. I have had pain in my left abdomin for at least 6 months and its from constipation. Doc has me taking colon cleansers. It really helps.

Good idea! i also have endo and I always had a normal flow, but felt like I was being ripped in half! Maybe at the least she can give you something for the pain! Good Luck

Oh I have I hate it. I would miss school because of them. The only thing that helped the pain was a heating pad and darvocet (or like 8 advil). So sorry that you are in this much pain. If you normally don't have such painful periods then call your gyno and tell her you've been ttc. I don't remember, have you taken a hpt?

Just wanted to add, frequent urination during pms is also a symptom of endo. I think I read a post that you experienced that, also.
