The actual thing and not the newsgroup ........

Just curious to see if this could be "normal" .. details (not too graphic
but still not to savoury) follow.







I have had the marina IUD for just over a year now and have had AF twice
(dunno if the lack of AF is mirena related or bf related though).
Starting at about 9-10 mo pp, I got 2 weeks of spotting and then nothing
until this past weekend.
First signs (seen in retrospect) ...
1. decreased milk production for the past 2 weeks (that happened every month
with K when AF came back at 4 mo pp and I didn't have the mirena), its back
to normal now
2. weight gain of 0.5 kg 2 days before (Saturday ...which just happened to
be WW weigh-in day which is back to normal now.
3. .... and the thing I'm wondering about.... before I realised that I was
getting AF, I spent Sunday night with mild stomach cramps and thought I had
gastro as I vomited a couple of times .... but it did occur to me that It
felt more like a morning sickness spew rather than a gastro spew IYKWIM.
I felt fine on Monday but took it easy .... then I noticed the spotting
around lunch time and it all started making sense....
Nobody else in the house has come down with vomiting .....so .... I'm
thinking that the vomiting was to do with AF....
Does that sound right?
Anybody else get nauseous / vomit with AF?

Since #2 I've been much more sensitive to progesterone and have nausea
every month about 3 days before my period starts. It's one reason I'm
not on hormonal birth control anymore, and it's also why I didn't
believe I was pregnant the last two times until after the +ve HPT - the
nausea just didn't go away. On the plus side though it means I know
when to buy tampons etc, and it also never gets worse than that mild
hungover-type nausea.
