Title: Weird cramps...?
Post by: 20032003 on June 21, 2015, 10:23:22 AM
Started my period night between Sunday and Monday, so a week ago. Had a "heavier" period than I've had for a while (i.e. a normal period for me). I was bleeding Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and not much more after that. Aside from a lot of clear runny mucus (sorry...), which seems to be how I end my periods these days...

Friday and yesterday I was in the mood for sex, all of a sudden, which was nice  ;D ... And today I've had some weird cramps, that I don't understand. Sometimes hard to tell WHAT hurts, but the cramps are located below my belly button and just above my pubic bone. Mostly in the middle, or a slight bit to the right. It seems that it most likely would be my uterus? But why is it cramping NOW??? Anyone else had this happening?

If you are peri meno and your hormones are fluctuating then weird cramps can be part of this.  If you are worried then I'd go to the GP for a check. As CLKD says - all that 'exercise' can pull the odd muscle!!! ;D

Perhaps you should try  :bed: to see if those particular muscles are involved …….  :-X  ;)

Did you require pain relief?

I used to get this before my hysterectomy and always blamed it on the uterus.. now I still get it... maybe it's the bladder?

A uro/gynae I have seen said 90% of pelvic pain starts in the bladder.......where it finishes is another story

I get muscle 'pain' if my bowel is full when we  :bed: - probably a kind of bruising.
