Severe Bloating? Cramps Help!?!
Question:
Severe Bloating? Cramps Help!?
Is it normal to gain 3-5 pounds on your period and feel really bloated. I have been on my period for 4 days already and it hasnt gone away. I gained 4 pounds basically in 1 day. My lower stomach is sticking out like Im 3 months pregnant and I have had cramps pretty bad. It seems like every period I have gets worse than the last. I am taking Yasmin but didnt seem to start having problems until the 5th month.
Any body else have these issues? I know I need to see a dr. But, my insurance wont cover another pap smear until dec. so unless its an emergency I need to wait.
By the way, fibroids and cysts run in my family and my mom just had a hysterectomy to remove a fibroid the size of a grapefruit from her uterus.
