I agree with quid about the birth control. If it's causing you to spot or have periods between periods than you need a different type or a different dose of hormones (if it's the pill).

The hormone that causes ligament and joint stretchiness during pregnancy is relaxin. Since it's produced by the corpus luteum, which should be gone if a period has started, it would be odd if that were the culprit, neh? Posts: 32919 | Registered: Mar 2003

Not in me, rivka. I have irregular hormone levels, and have always had. And there's pretty much nothing normal about my body and its reactions.
As far as for other people, well, sure, no problem! I can agree with that given my lack of concrete knowledge about it. Posts: 8355 | Registered: Apr 2003

It's been a while since I reviewed hormones and their feedback interactions and stuff . . . but the corpus luteum decays in 10-14 days, unless pregnancy occurs.
Also, while the stretchiness from relaxin was sometimes uncomfortable, I don't think it causes the kind of pain you're describing. Not my field, but my layperson guess would be that it's another culprit. *shrug* Sympathy regardless! Posts: 32919 | Registered: Mar 2003

All I know is that, for me, it occurs only during my period, and the ob-gyn has confirmed it's female hormone related, although I don't remember details, so whether it's that one or another one, I have no idea.

Well, she threw up again in the night, and woke up this morning still feeling like poo (however, she admitted to feeling like slightly higher quality poo, but poo nonetheless).

I THINK I'm getting better. I slept till two, got up, tottered over to the bathroom and got a shower (mmmmm). I'm now plunked on the couch and don't really intend on moving. But at least I'm UPRIGHT and not writhing in pain.
Poor Nathan, I don't know if I'll ever allow him to make pad thai again.

I'm so glad you are better. Wonderful that you had Theca here.
(Wonderful-er that you had Nathan there!)
PS: any symptoms of a urinary tract infection, offhand? Frequent small amounts, burning, urgency? Unlikely, but I was just worried about urosepsis, too.

Huzzah! Nathan did a good job of taking care of me, as long as I pretend he didn't ask me if I wanted something to eat RIGHT after I threw up. Posts: 14745 | Registered: Dec 1999

Hmm. I don't think so. It doesn't hurt to pee, though a lot of the time, five minutes later, I have to go again, just a bit. I never got a temp though. Today it's my lower abdomen and lower back that hurt.

You going to see somebody about this, or wait awhile? If you do see a physician (or PA or NP), I'd think about requesting they do a spot urine sample, just in case.
It's kind of the traditional newlywed issue.

So, um, yeah. No fever is a very good thing, eh? Posts: 14017 | Registered: May 2000

I suspect that as well, but I've never HAD one. No burning when I pee either. I'm also menstruating, so that'd throw off the sample anyway. Bleah. The abdominal pain might be because of the menstruation. Stupid uterus! If I'm not better by tomorrow (I mean, I've gotten worse or haven't been able to keep down some decent food), I'll give the doc a call. I will be calling about the BC though, 'cause two periods a month really isn't my idea of a good time.

Oddly enough, UTIs aren't always painful when you pee. Mind you, any I've had always made me sit up and take notice, but that isn't always the case. And lower back pain with abdominal pain at this particular time just raises a red flag.
If Nathan pounds you lightly on your lower back a few inches to either side of the spinal column, does this feel good or bad? (kidneys are there)

Lower back pain with a period could also mean endometriosis, right? My hips and lower back always felt sore every time I had a period.

If you really want one of shirts, you can copy the picture from the website and print it on iron on paper.

Yeah, that's how we made them. I could probably get the original picture for you, so you wouldn't have to use the one in the picture.
