I had a natural mc in feb. Bleeding stopped from that nearly 5 weeks ago. I was anxious about my next period that finally started yesterday. Today I suddening had excutiating pain. Sitting change my pad was like I was going to tear open down there. My office said to take motrin and see what happens. I can't sit or walk with out pain. Couldn't drive home from work. Expected a bad period but this is scary. Anyone else have terrible first period?

Re: first period with stabbing pain?
Try an ice pack to the crotch and see if it helps, besides Aleve the ice pack was the only thing that helped any for me (assuming it's the same thing).
Hope it passes soon... I wish I had better advice.

As far as emotionally, I thought this was passed. It had been 6 weeks. Now I know its gone and my tube. Any future pregnancy is considered high risk until they are certain its settled safelybin my uterus. The swelling is up into my ribs from the gas and internal bleeding so crying or deep breath or sigh is painful. I will have to wait to grieve whatever there is BC I am not physically capable now.
Gentle (((hugs))) to you.
Ask for a small, firm pillow or for an extra towel and pillowcase. You can make your own of sorts. Using the pillow to put pressure on your uterine area can help when you need to move, sneeze, cry or laugh. It's also handy on the way home... I haven't been through what you have, but in my related experience, the drive home was a killer. Definitely make sure you are current on pain meds for the drive.
That gassy feeling is the most uncomfortable, weird feeling.
Getting up moving helps as well as time. That symptom improved about 24-36 hours after the procedure that gave it to me for me. Hope it goes quickly so you can be in more physical comfort.

This is a good reminder to everyone if you are having severe abdominal pain that won't let up and is getting worse--call a doctor or go to a hospital.
