I didn't think that being pregnant for such a short time would make a difference, but it did! I was thrilled, because mine were AWFUL. mrsjazz on "If you had awful period cramps before pregnancy..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-awful-period-cramps-before-pregnancy#post-1404056 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 14:46:31 +0000 mrsjazz 1404056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I used to have horrible ovulation pain, even more horrible cramps on the 1st and 2nd day of my period, and sometimes cramps between ovulation and actually getting my period. Now my cramps are bearable, I can actually take OTC meds for them if I choose. My period is also much shorter and lighter. It's almost like a dream come true! illumina on "If you had awful period cramps before pregnancy..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-awful-period-cramps-before-pregnancy#post-1404042 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 14:45:09 +0000 illumina 1404042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Foodnerd81: yeah, 8wks. I guess hence the drop in supply too :( Aww I'm sorry C is still waking. I've been waking S at 2-3am to maintain my measly supply...though she's mostly FF now so I'll probably drop it soon. mamimami on "If you had awful period cramps before pregnancy..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-awful-period-cramps-before-pregnancy#post-1404032 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 14:43:19 +0000 mamimami 1404032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I get no cramps whatsoever since having kids! YEAH!!!

But your LO STTN early, right? I hear those are related-- and I'd take STTN and a monthly period over waking up multiple times a night! cascademom on "If you had awful period cramps before pregnancy..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-awful-period-cramps-before-pregnancy#post-1403999 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 14:36:33 +0000 cascademom 1403999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @illumina: Hugs. My period came back early too. The mini pill made it worse. If I didn't take my pill just right, I would get it. Even when I took right consistently, I would still get spotting. It's one of the things I'm not looking forward with #2 in the future. cascademom on "If you had awful period cramps before pregnancy..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-awful-period-cramps-before-pregnancy#post-1403988 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 14:33:59 +0000 cascademom 1403988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ For me, it seems to depend on the birth control I'm on. On the mini pill, my cramps were pretty bad. On my regular combo pill, they're not bad. I'm going off bc in a couple of months. I'm thinking that it'll go back to how bad they were pre-bc. Also, when I go off bc, I'll be at a lighter weight than when I conceived LO, so I'm curious to see if that will have any effect. illumina on "If you had awful period cramps before pregnancy..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-awful-period-cramps-before-pregnancy#post-1403983 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 14:33:27 +0000 illumina 1403983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Foodnerd81: ugh, 10wks pp. I've had 2 so far :( Foodnerd81 on "If you had awful period cramps before pregnancy..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-awful-period-cramps-before-pregnancy#post-1403976 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 14:32:45 +0000 Foodnerd81 1403976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @illumina: I don't know-- still no period :) Yours already came back? I know my sister's came back almost as bad as before. When I went off BCP they came back much milder than they had been before.

So weird how it switched! Ovulation is worse than my period! wonderstruck on "If you had awful period cramps before pregnancy..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-awful-period-cramps-before-pregnancy#post-1403962 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 14:30:56 +0000 wonderstruck 1403962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yeah, I still got them after. Boo! Maybe pregnancy #2 will change that! illumina on "If you had awful period cramps before pregnancy..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-had-awful-period-cramps-before-pregnancy#post-1403954 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 14:29:41 +0000 illumina 1403954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Do you still have them since your cycle returned PP? I used to have the worst cramps in my lower back the day before my period arrived...and since I gave birth I no longer get any pains. How weird!
