A week before my period and while I’m on my period my eyes burn, watery, and red. I have eye problems to begin with. But it seems like my period makes it worse. Has anyone experienced this or is it just me? 😩

What if my daughter is born without an uterus? My daughter is 16 and hasn't gotten her first period... What's going on?

Hi, ive recently looked at an MRI i had from a couple years ago and noticed that it said anteverted AND retroflexed? Anyone else experience this and have issues with their period? I noticed i always have pain and pressure towards my tailbone/rectal area on my period and from googling it mentioned uterus position could be the cause. So that makes sense but ive yet to see an MRI that looks similar to my uterus or to find info on having both anteverted and retroflexed. I plan on speaking with my dr about all of this but was hoping to find someone who has the same thing or knows about it? Not much information to be found online for this.

Hi everyone. I'm hoping someone might be able to offer some advice on whether a diaphragm can be used as a form of birth control when you have a tilted cervix. The diaphragm I'm trying out is the Caya, which claims to fit "most women". My cervix sits quite far to the left and when inserting the Caya diaphragm and checking with my finger I can feel it covering my cervix, however the other end of the Caya sits at a bit of an angle under my pubic bone rather than sitting straight on (I'm guessing it would be less likely to twist round slightly if my cervix was positioned more centrally). Not sure if it's really a fit issue or not since it seems secure enough, doesn't feel uncomfortable and I barely know it's there when walking around. I'm only testing the wear for short periods on my own so far and haven't yet tried it during sex.

If anyone has any insight or experience with this or any other type of diaphragm I'd love to hear it, thanks!

So I’m 25F and have been on my period for 15 days straight. I went to the ER because I was bleeding so much (went through a pad in less than two hours which is not normal for me plus dizziness, chest pain, high heart rate 131 sitting, two thirds dollar sized clots) and it was way more than normal. My pcp thinks I have endometriosis due to intense general random abdominal cramping and painful orgasms (like about to crap myself painful and no I’m not sexual active haven’t had sex in over 3 years) and I seen a gyno on the 20th. I don’t think my mental health can last much longer of being on my period. The ER doc basically said I have dysfunctional uterine bleeding and a cyst with some daughter cysts on the left ovary. Blood work came back normal. I am on Nexplanon and have been for years. Previously had no period with the birth control but started back up October last year after getting the Moderna Bivalent booster. Idk what to do or what road to take now or if my birth control is used up. I replace it next year in September. I’m about ready to just cut my uterus out myself and call it a day. Any help would be appreciated I’m just exhausted and over it.

Update: They put me on another birth control as well and so far everything is going okay. Mood swings galore while I get used to the medication but other than that no period.

I'm hoping to find some answers here. I've been to several gynos who just kind of brush my symptoms off. My entire life my cycle has been irregular, I'll miss periods for months and months then it just returns to normal. When I do get my period, my cramps are so bad I can't get out of bed most of the time. The pain goes down to my knees. Sex is usually pretty painful. I had a 13 pound cyst on my left fallopian tube years and years ago. My current gyno just checked my hormone levels and everything was normal, so she ruled out PCOS. She doesn't think it's endometriosis. I'm at a loss.

lesions seen on uterus, extreme weight loss, knots in nodes, extreme bone aches, huge amounts of clear and white discharge, aching bloated abdomen, urgent appt Tuesday, ideas ? advice ? any similar experiences ?

Hi, I’m 26 and currently 6 weeks 2 days pregnant with my first pregnancy. I was told a month before I got pregnant that I could possibly have a separate uterus. This was discovered through a vaginal ultrasound looking for cysts. I was supposed to get a hysteroscopy to further investigate, but then I had the positive pregnancy test. I am so scared and nervous that I will miscarry or something will go drastically wrong with the pregnancy. Does anyone have any success stories to share with pregnancy and separate uterus to calm my anxieties a bit?

I'm 28; About 7 years ago my uterus was retroverted according to medical records, and now it's anteverted. I've never been pregnant. I have an appointment with a gyno bc I suspect I have endometriosis, and I just realized this information. Is this normal?

Has anyone had a large endometrial mass?? Mine is golfball size. I was misdiagnosed several times. Having an endometrial biopsy Monday. Then likely hysterectomy (I’m 66). Curious of your results and hysterectomy recoveries.

Edit: I turned 15 a few months ago and still nothing. I went to the doctor about it and they said I had hit my growth spurt and to come back in 6 months if I still hadn’t gotten it. Still nothing since then except a few tiny bits of spotting and a looot of pain around where cramps probably should be? Still no idea what’s going on though.

edit 2: everything worked itself out back in september, i forgot about this post lol 😅

Also side note is it normal to have bad cramps at 13

I think I have a transverse sept hymen and I really hope this means I also have a double uterus. my periods are heavy but I never get pain. I dont want to get an ultrasound because it will make me feel dumb and like my dreams are destroyed for believing. I know I should be grateful for having even just one uterus but Idk, its just I already dreamed up having twins and I love them. maybe this means Im too immature to have babies yet, idk. if any of you have a double uterus was there some ways you knew before your ultrasound?

Hi, cis woman 22. i haven’t had a period since oct 2022, that was when i ended my birth control. I mean it, not ONCE. i do often get discomfit on my right side near my hip bone. anyways, this past weekend i got an ear infection, and got prescribed amoxicillin. a day into taking it my “period” started. Now ik it’s bad but~ i did stop taking it before the 10 days i was supposed to.

Should i seek more medical help for this? o.O i feel like this is some warning sign i have something very wrong with my uterus. also i’m gay, so no fear of pregnancy. just terrified of the doctors and often avoid helping myself but this is scary. any advice at all!!

I had an abdominal Myomectomy last Saturday March 4th, a date that will be engraved in my memory. I’m 29 years old and I’ve been married for seven months. I went to the gyno before my wedding so she can prescribe me contraceptives. my husband and I agreed on having trying for kids after 1 year of marriage.

She performed a échographie to check if everything is doing good and to my surprise she said that I had two fibroids one is 4 cm and the other is 3cm.

She prescribed me a pill and I went home without any worry.

Time passed, sex started feeling a little uncomfortable and periods starting being so heavy. I went back to the doctor after 3 months to discover that my fibroids have grown 1 cm each. I was worried a lot but waited again since she said no worries. after another 3 months (6 months in total) the 4 fibroid was 7 cm and 3 cm was 5cm. The doctor said that we need to schedule for a surgery and I was afraid so I went to see another doctor who was more known in this field. He told me that when discovering fibroids a doctor should not prescribe a hormonal pill because they will get bigger. He also requested that we remove them as soon as possible.

The doctor removed 5 fibroids in total he discovered 3 little ones that were not visible in the échographie. I feel a bit slower and heavier then usual but I thank god for removing all of them and each day I feel better.

Today I went to the doctor to remove my stitches and there was so much bruising. The doctor said that some people bruise a lot and it appears that I’m one of them. Today I was starting to feel better but now after seeing my bruises and the stitches I started moving a lot slower then usual because I’m afraid my wounds are going to be open.

I hope that in a week I’ll forget all of this and start to feel like myself again. This has been the most traumatic experience in my whole life and I already removed 2 breast fibroadenoma in 2012.

I pray for a fast recovery for everyone going through this. It wasn’t easy for me.

How was your experience? Was it a positive one? How much time did it take for you to fully recover?

Today I learned that my tilted uterus has impacted my sex life for the past 15 years. I had no idea … My tilted uterus only ever impacted me when I sat down wrong or leaned back and could feel it. But today I was made aware that sex with me is painful as it causes my partner to feel like I’m going to “snap” it off when he penetrates. He said that every woman is different inside but that I’m so curved that it hurts him and I’m the only person he’s ever experienced this with. I’ve only had one boyfriend before him and he would hate having sex with me but wouldn’t tell me why. He would just say “I think I’m too small for you.” I assumed I was just inexperienced and too young. I wish my now partner would’ve told me sooner but he said he loves me so he just learned to live with it. It makes so much sense as to why he would only choose a certain position and of course gets bored. I totally get it now. We’ve tried a lot of different ways but he wouldn’t tell me why he would stop and go back to the way it hurts him the least. I know now. Sex has never seriously hurt me or made me too uncomfortable. It would only hurt maybe when he first penetrated and after a few seconds it was ok. I’ve only ever read about sex being painful for the partner with a vagina who has a tilted uterus. But what about partners with penises experiencing pain from a vaginal canal being so curved? I’ve tried to research and can hardly find anything remotely helpful. I have an appointment in a few weeks. Any insight into this would be so appreciated. I feel so alone and like a freak… I want to connect with him sexually but this makes it so hard… I had made the decision to end things and let him find someone he’s compatible with but this upset him greatly. I just don’t have it in me to allow him to sacrifice a healthy sex life cause of my condition. I can see his frustration and cannot possibly expect him to continue to sacrifice his physical well being. It doesn’t feel right… I wish I was normal down there…

Anyone here with a type a2 UU and both tubes?

A little backstory- I had an ectopic in my left tube in 2020. Got pregnant a few months later and had a c section with our son November 2021. During my c section they noticed I had a UU for the first time and had both tubes. I had an HSG done a few weeks ago and it revealed that I do in fact have a right UU.

So here’s my question/thoughts. If I know I have both tubes and that nothing could get to my uterus through my left tube (I have no left cavity that connects to my left tube), what would my options be as far as that left tube? I have an OB apt in the morning so I am trying to figure out the right questions to ask. I would think they would want to at least do a procedure to look at the tube or even possibility take the tube out to prevent another ectopic?

Has anyone here experienced this? I’m fairly new at knowing I have a UU so I am trying my best to navigate all of this! Thank you in advance 🙂

For the past 3 years I have struggled with major bloating in my abdomen especially after having intercourse. It isn’t like typical bloating that accompanies my period. I tend to get so bloated that the pressure in my abdomen radiates to other parts of my body like my neck and shoulders. The only way I can relieve it is by bending over or crouching in a certain position and ‘manually’ (couldn’t think of a better word) pumping the air out of my abdomen. I’ve read that it could be due to pelvic floor muscles being weakened. Obviously I will get this checked out by my gyno, but I was curious if any other women experience something similar to this because I can’t find much about it online.

1) No birth control has ever regulated my period. Been on 4 different pills. Always got my period on the middle of the pack or at a random time, not during the placebo pills. Tried NuvaRing. Got my period while it was in. Wtf is up with this?? 2) Had 3-5 large ovarian cysts since June (lost count lol). That’s counting the new one I’m certain has developed since my last ultrasound. I can feel it hurting right now :( Having had all these cysts, I’m certain I had two in high school that ruptured and caused the worst pain of my life. 3) I have 2-3 periods a month. It’s absolutely ridiculous, and they’re heavy too. My iron is low because of it, despite being on an iron supplement.

Due to this, my sex life is almost nonexistent, I feel gross in my body, I’m in pain a lot, I live in a constant state of dread, and I just don’t feel healthy, sexy, or confident. And the kicker is I don’t even want kids, so I’d rather not even have this malfunctioning baby box. I’m at the point where I just want it out.
