Ok Bees, a little background. I used to have non seriouse form of seizures when I was little so I don’t think this has anything to do with me getting dizzy and almost fainting during my period. So here’s what’s happening. Whenever I need to use the restroom during my period (usually first or second day) the pain from going #2 (sorry TMI) causes me to break out in sweat like a hotflash and I get very dizzy. Last month I ended up on the floor in a puddle of sweat and almost passed out completley. I am going to see a doctor on Nov. 20th but I’m not sure how common this is. I’m also not sure what the doctor can do for me. Does anyone else have a problem like this? I basically don’t want this to happen to me at work or have to take a day off due to the pain.  I should mention I’m 26 and this has only been a recent development probably within the last year and I’ve been on BCP for 6 years.

Sounds to me like something is not quite right. Maybe you need to switch your BCP brand or BC method? Or maybe your body is naturally producing hormones in excess ? 

But I don’t mean to scare you. It is very normal to have a lot of pain in the first couple days of your period. 

Good luck figuring it out, hopefully the doctor will give you a good indication of what’s up.
