Even though I had a lap, my period did come about a week late and I had cramps. That was back in July 08 and I still have cramps with my periods. I had a lapartomy in jan 09 to remove my endo and my left ovary, although for the most part I'm pain free when not on my period, but when she arrives, the cramps are bad. I'm sorry you have such bad cramps. Did your DR give you motrin? My OB gave me 800mg and it helped and I used a lot of heat. Baths helped too, and hot showers with the water directly on my belly. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask me. I've been through it all. Feel better Heather!

Thanks hun! No she didnt give me any Motrin, but I cant get that OTC. I normally take some tylenol..that usually does nothing, but with my 1rst day back to work tom. I def will be taking something with me! Hopefully my period wont be late! Baths usually help me alot too! Thanks Lauren:)

I had 5 laps and my first period after was always pretty bad, but then they got better.

Yeah it seems like this period is going 2 be pretty rough..these cramps are worst then the ones Ive had. Im guessing bc my bod has to re-adjust with surgery and all. Thanks :)

i had my last surgery in may.. i was put on the lupron shot so i wouldnt bleed... but i have been bleeding every mnth... and the cramps get worse every mnth... meaning the endo is back

but usually i bleed a couple days after.. but i have never really had a period after my lap. surgery.. and i have had 4 surgerys now!!

Well I really hope the endo doesnt come back after almost 4 weeks after surgery! My period has been really different-real bad cramping, awful mood swings, clots are still there, the blood does look more red( not to be too detailed and nasty..sorry guys!) bc it used to look real dark-almost black. ENDO STAY AWAY!
