WH again - Ov pains

Yep Im the same. Weird eh?!

yep same here its relly annoying too

I'm just wondering if it has anything to do with what you mum has (another post you did). I would probably have a chat to your dr about it. I know that when I Ov I can so feel it and sometime I have even been lucky enough to feel them pop - not nice

I have all the time for as long as I can remember.

Becks now you're getting me worried

Karori Medical Centre (online) wrote: What are the symptoms of ovarian cysts? Most simple ovarian cysts do not produce symptoms unless they have associated complications. Symptoms that may occur with ovarian cysts include:     * lower abdominal pain or discomfort     * fullness or bloating     * pain with sexual intercourse     * urinary frequency or difficulty with bowel movements (because of pressure on adjacent pelvic anatomy)     * irregular periods or spotting.

I've never had OV pain - and my AF is fairly short & light even now that I've got Gina. I've never had any WH issues (fingers crossed). Maybe mention this to your GP?

Thanks Kels

(My mum has fibroids, that was the other post.)

Sooo.... if I went to the doc about it (which is looking more and more likely), what would I expect and will I be sent for scans that are gonna seriously put me out of pocket? And/or will I get told to come back if it's still hurting next month?

*bump*
I've decided that I'm going to the doc at the next ovulation time. In August the Ov pains lasted a week, gradually accelerating cramps/pain over those days until on O day we BD and something hurt really suddenly and I yelled and clutched my abdo (really spoilt the mood lol!) but then was fine afterwards.

In September and October, I've had the same thing. Cramps building up over 5 days (both months), then really horrible pain (the panadol level) on O day, and nothing on the next day again. Fortunately no popping or stabbing or whatever happened in August, but whatever it is has certainly not gone away.


So what do I need to watch for the next 3 weeks before I see the Doc? What's he going to ask me? I've been checking out Ov pains and endo symptoms and what I've got is:

* 5+ days of pre-O cramps/pain in every month since June (when my AF came back after Kryssi)
* c/s scar
* bloating during those days and just before AF
* When I have pre-O cramps, if my bladder gets full it puts pressure on something in there which is really uncomfy (doesn't happen any other time)
* Bowel motions seem fairly normal, just a little soft when I have cramps but nothing major (they have always been like that around AF time, so I guess it's just normal)
* Only happens at those two times of month, mostly at pre-O (my AF is nothing to panadol about)
* It won't be ectopic cause it's been for so long and my weight and size is stable (actually I just lost 2kg this month WOOHOO!)
* I don't really feel pain/soreness on one side or the other during pre-O cramps. Just the whole lot is. But sometimes I'll feel the right side a little for the next couple of days (only sore, not painful)
* I don't have pain with intercourse except if in the 48 hours up to O day. TMI coming up... Usually the intercourse itself is fine but anything manual rubs against something that hurts.
* Periods are regular, and not heavy
* No fatigue to speak of
* No painful peeing
* No lower back pain
* No nausea/vomitting

I'm going to aim to see the Doctor in the 48 hours pre-O in November. So have one more AF to pass in that time. Is there anything I need to look out for in particular? (I always get a curly question from the doctor and think, ummm I actually hadn't noticed! lol)

Thanks all - if you're not asleep yet - I'm particularly interested in feedback from those of you who have had ovarian cysts/endo/etc.
