Week 5/Day 30 (Sunday) - Period Pains!

Wooow. My period arrived today, with a vengeance.

I'm only posting on this because I'm a full two days earlier than usual—it technically came last night, but without the pain—and it's super crampy. Both of these are incredibly unusual for me since the birth control pill I'm on regulates the hell out of my system (fantastic for someone who thrives on consistency).

Even post-surgery, when I was due for my period just several after (great timing, right?), it came precisely on schedule. And contrary to my doctor's warning that it would likely be heavier than usual, it was completely the opposite, with minimal additional cramping to my existing discomfort.

Well, no such luck this time around! One of the worst periods I can remember.

My period is either:
  1. in the process adjusting to my new and improved uterus, in the final stages of healing;
  2. teaching me a lesson for dancing/overdoing it the other day; or
  3. getting me back for an easy first post-surgery period.
I'm thinking it might be a combo of 1 & 2. 

In any case, it's good to feel..."alive"?
