I'm 40 and my cycles are reasonably regular (in that I bleed once a month not in length) but they're very painful. I've been checked out physically and they've found nothing. I had been hoping to ttc no2 as all the women in my family have gone on to have kinds into their mid40s with menopause in late 50s. I have excruciating periods but I also have pain when I ovulate (had this when I was younger sometimes too) but now I get af style cramping from 5dpo until I bleed. Sometimes with spotting, sometimes without. I also get a luteal phase ibs type pain but rarely do I get associated bowel movements.
I'm struggling to get any dr or gynae to listen to my concerns about this being hormonal and all they suggest is going on a contraceptive pill (pointless if ttc)
Are there any other ways of dealing with peri menopausal pains without taking contraception or cocodamol all the time? I'm at my wits end and convinced I'll never conceive if I have this pain.
