    ???

    I'm not sure this is IC related or not so here goes.

    My little girl, Sam, is now almost 6months old. During the whole pregnancy and for awhile after I was IC free. Then it came back like I knew it would but not bad. I've been just watching my diet and things have been ok.

    On Thursday evening I started having really bad cramps and just thought I was finally having my first period, ( I guess breast-feeding can put of it's return) so I just used the heating pad and popped a couple ibuprphen.
    It's now Sunday and I am still majorly hurting and no flow. So...

    My ?? is could it still be pms after four days and nothing or is this just a different feeling IC very long lasting flare???

    THanks for any ideas

    Maybe but have you checked a pregnancy test? Not to be nosy but breastfeeding is not a sure fire bet as BC and maybe the cramps are not PMS or a flare . Maybe something to look into. Hope you feel better soon and sorry that nasty IC showed it's face again.

        Kylie,
        Your uterus and other parts down there could be contracting back in place, I know I did this for a few months after both of my kids.. Feels just like period cramps..or kind of like contractions..

          When I was on Depo for 7 years I did not have a period at all. You may be one who has no period but may still feel crampy and yucky. Not everyone is period free on depo but you may be. If I had known you had started the depo I would have not suggested the pregnancy test sorry about that one.
