Good morning ladies xx I’ve had issues with period pain in the past and done a couple of circuits at the dr where they put me on birth control and I got the usual dismissal many of you will be familiar with. Current issue is that last night I had really off period cramps. It felt more like a muscle strain on my lower left pelvis than usual cramps. I could barely walk felt like I was going to throw up the pain was so bad and noticed that I was bleeding a lot more than usual. This morning I feel mostly better but still have a dull ache (like I’ve strained a muscle?). I was using a new period cup so I’m not sure if this could have caused it? Also recently changed antidepressants not sure if this would be affecting my period?

I’m a bit worried as it was different to the usual cramps but as it’s getting better so can’t be bothered going to the dr to be told “it’s all in my head”.

Has anyone had similar issues and any advice?
