omg .. u could be me !! lol .. it's like we are going through the
exact same thing.. the doc didnt find anything wrong with me, is
blaming it on IBS, even though I have never had bowel issues until after
surgery last week, and I still have all the pain I had before surgery.
Now I have vaginal bleeding from the surgery, so I decided that I would
come off the continuous birth control as I am bleeding right now
anyways, and no point in waiting for it to go away and then come off it.
So now I have TERRIBLE period pains!! wwaahhh !! I've had enough !! But
seriously, we should stick together, because it sounds like we are going
through the exact same thing.
