female only cramps during period seem worse!

Is anyone experiencing horrible cramps and its not normal?

Yes! Two weeks ago I was in tears they were so bad. Normally they are mild enough I can do something and forfet about them. I thought my insides were ripping apart. It sucked. I hope next time around they r less intense because the childrens tylenol (what I was told was the only pain reliever I was allowed ) isnt even worth the nasty taste

Last month when I got it I was still on pain meds. I actually almost took one last night!

No, but I'm having my 2nd period in 3 weeks. Wonder if I'm absorbing my pill at all.

Ugh that's horrible! I'm sorry!

Par for the course for me. I had surgery to remove uterine polyps in April. Apparently polyps and fibroids (not to mention many other disorders) are more common in obese women. Yet another reason this surgery was a good thing for me!

I'm hoping that as time goes on the cramps will subside

My intestines have been more sensitive since surgery, I have frequent intestinal cramping, sometimes with diarrhea, but not always. Maybe your cramps are a combo of uterus and intestine?

Its possible but I have chrons and its not that

I have to agree that my cramps are definitely worse. Prior to surgery I didn't have much cramping during my periods but this month I thought I was going crazy, like I ate something I shouldn't have. I thought it was just me.

No its not just you!

Does anyone else notice a crazy heavy flow? Terrible cramps oh I can't take anything for any type of pain so for 2 weeks I suffer. Also anybody else get anemic during? I never did before but now I do everytime. I can't take oral Iron so it's IV infusion everytime :/
