Right now I am hurting so bad in my lower back and abdomen. I look 4 months pregnant. My stomach is so bloated to touch and very sore. This is so depressing and painful. I guess i have just been living with it but I have to do something. It's ruining my marriage. I couldn't be preg could i?

I can say that I had a lot of what you are saying going on after my TL. I had my TR on March 24-2008. I am on to my 4 cycle after TR and I have had great improvement in my cycles and the way they go. The bloated fulling and looking like I may be pregnant has went away. I noted that on this AF I could wear any pants in my closet I wanted to. Boy did that feel great to wear what I wanted to. I wish you all the best. Miranda

I had my tubal in 05 after my third and had horrible periods ever since and I also felt bloated a lot and have that "baby belly pouchy" looking abdomen. I had a whole host of other symptoms like hair falling out, lost libido, acne, dizziness, foggy memory, moody/edginess, tingling in extremities and on and on and on.. I suggest you sit down and right down all of the symptoms you have and if you can try to document when in the month they start or get worse. I would take that info to your GYN and ask what tests might be indicated based on your symptoms. I am guessing he or she will be able to do some blood work to rule out some things. Read around the boards and see if you recognize any other PTLS symptoms cited by others here as things you also have but did not think were connected to you "gyn" like symptoms. I spent 3 years with a whole bunch of different symptoms that I never connected. I finally found info on PTLS and just had my TR 2 weeks ago. I am hopeful that I will see relief as I wait for my first post-TR cycle. Good luck and let us know what happens!

I had my tubal after third child, 2 sections and just "assumed " it would be the easiest thing to do since we were happy with twins and single. Well, i have always had painful periods/cramping/ ppmd, the works....but after Taylor was born had ppd and just continued a downward spiral. i continue to cramp in my lower back and stomach 2 weeks before starting my period and continue until it's over. I had endometrial ablation in Dec. 07 hoping it would help with the pain and moodiness.....well it didnt'. i still have a period and things are worse. my stomach is very bloated at this time(should be over my period but not) I am wondering is this all related and what are the possibilites besides b.c. this also didn't work. I just want to be "me" again. I feel like it's a never ending cycle. has anyone had the same experience, should i demand hormonal testing?
