Ovulation pain - need help!

[fylde]

Hi! I have suffered from ovulation pain since my late teens and can't seem to find any cure other than being on the pill. I have seen specialists and had scans and nothing sinister has been found. No pain killers seem to work and i have basically been told to get a hot water bottle and put up with it - not easy with three small children to look after! I am currently on the pill, which does work, but I would really prefer not to be. Does anyone else suffer from this and what advice can you give me? Would be so grateful for any help at all.

yup. me. no advice as exactl;y the same as you - no cause.
is bloody agony. hurts for 2 or 3 days. messes up my bowels. wakes me up but the pill also doesn't agree with me for various reasons.
