On holiday and miserable

3 days into my holiday and im not enjoying it at all. My IBS symptoms are extreme bloating and nausea from the bloating, occasionally the nausea is strong after a bowel movement. I’m taking peppermint capsules every morning and before bed I take gas x and buscopan too but my colon feels like it’s filled with gas or it’s just sluggish. I will go to the toilet several times just to fart and a little stool comes out. I’m not exactly constipated i feel like it’s more gas that’s not allowing the stool to come out in once piece. I don’t know what to do it’s really making me depressed and think twice before eating anything. When I drink tea such a aniseed my stomach started gurgling like it’s finally moving along I then feel the Bloating and pain in the lower stomach as if the pushed the contents down which I can tolerate more than when the pain is near the ribs. What can I do if I eat or don’t eat I’m having symptoms.

Could I be pregnant ?

Hey guys my last period started on 8th of July and ended on 23rd of July ( I have pcos ) right after we had unprotected sex the very next day and so on. For the past week and abit my symptoms are :

Intense craving for white onions and black pepper lol
So much gas to the point it’s making me nauseous and it feels like something is bubbling and churning my my upper belly I’ve been farting and burping a lot
Increased thirst
Tiredness
Dry eyes?
Feeling really hot espically at night
Today I had light pink spotting and cramping which has been on and off all day
Feeling hungrier than usual but sometimes that happens bc I have thyroid issues too

I don’t feel overly emotional or anything like that in fact I feel oddly calmer than usual (it’s freaking me out lol)

I want to take a test to confirm if I’m pregnant but I’m on holiday right now and don’t really want to deal with it until I’m back. Any ideas if it could be positive?

Raspberry leaf tea

Hey guys hope you are all well 🌺 today I drank raspberry leaf tea for the first time it also had some rosehip and hibiscus in it and after a few hours I’m having cramping as if I’m on my period which I’m not I finished my period few days ago. Was wondering any one with this experience ? I also had sex yesterday if that makes a difference? I have also checked if I could be spotting bc my pcos causes that sometimes but I’m not but the cramps are getting stronger

Brown discharge

Hi guys my last period was in May it was a normal cycle short and light since then I had plenty of unprotected sex with my husband.

I missed my period in June and took a pregnancy test it was negative so I knew my periods are acting up again after been regular for a while I was really devastated not going to lie bc having missed periods makes me feel so down.

Today I went to pee and when I wiped there was a lot of brown discharge no bad smell and I have no itching or burning down there.

I’ve never had this before anyone know what it could be ? My recent ultrasounds (March) showed ovarian cysts although there’s been times my ultrasound has been clear. I will contact my dr for sure but for now I’d like to know your experiences please thank you ❤️

Barium swallow test side effects

Hi I had a barium swallow test yesterday some very mild nausea right after the procedure but in the evening and this morning I had a very bad episode of acid and stomach pain which I haven’t had in a while. Has anyone experienced this ? Could the barium liquid cause temporary increased acid symptoms?

Barium meal and swallow test

24f , I have a barium swallow and meal test tomorrow and I’ve tried calling the reception several time but it’s bank holiday and I can’t get through. it only occurred to me now that I should have asked if I can take any anti nausea meds. Can I before my test even if I take it 4 hours before ? I don’t want it to affect my results the ones I have on hand are: Domperidone, Ondansetron and Metoclopramide.

Hey everyone, I’m 2 days late I have a history of regularly cycle because of pcos although my eggs are fine there are no sacs or anything like that. I’m 2 days late and don’t want to be any more late because I’m supposed to have a blood test next week but I need to be on my period when it happens, and I don’t want to delay the blood test as I’m trying to get pregnant (fertility clinic asked for the blood test) Is there anything I can do like drink or massages that may help my period to come ? Usually when I workout my period comes shortly after but I really have no energy right now. My boobs are sore and I’m tired and really hungry. So I’m getting all my usual period symptoms but it’s not there. Thank you in advance 💗
