Hi everyone. I am only in week 4 of recovery from my ileostomy. I have had everything removed with a temp ileo ready for pouch surgery in 6 months (maybe). I was due on my period 2 days ago. Still no sign of period but last night I woke up at 2am in agony, still no sign of period. I'm still in pain this morning. Could this be because my period is coming? Bag is still functioning and it's not watery. I've had such a bad time during recovery. Just as I started to feel better I got post-op wound infection. It's been a rough ride, as soon as I start to feel normal something else happens. Is this normal??
