TTC and heavy periods

shailu1125 · Jan 28, 2014

Hi ladies,

We are ttc from 2 months and i had my period yesterday, which is very heavy clots like and painful. Is this normal? I usually have normal and less painful periods.

I had bloating during ovulation time and pain on left side of ribs and abdomen(like pain when applied pressure on that area like coughing or sleeping on that side) and 2 weeks of heavy breasts from 2 weeks.

I am worried if this is all normal?

Are youll trying to conceive naturally or through an IUI/IVF. If its an IUI/IVF the bloating could be a result of the hyperstimulation of ovaries. Heavy breasts and abdominal pain can be caused by the progesterone supplements.

i am trying naturally. i am little overweight and ttc from 2 months. Last month I had the problems i mentioned ending with heavy period. Is this normal?

Hi shailu,

A sudden increase in weight can cause a hormonal imbalance which could lead to heavy periods. My suggestion would be to visit ur gynac and get this checked out. Its a simple blood test. Also work on bringing your weight down and being as stress free as possible in the ttc journey. All the best !

Drink Apple Cider Vinegar, this helps in reducing weight balancing hormones etc. try to do exercise to reduce weight. Also you will have less painful period. Hope this helps you
