Griping period pains. No periods. Handhold

[Cjt110]

I have a pain in my groin area to the right hand side. Like a twinge.

I had them a few weeks back when I was going to the loo and it seemed to go away. I have these again. Have made an appointment for today.

I am on the depo and don't have periods, nor twinges or pains, so the pain is concerning me. My mother has endometriosis and my maternal aunt had cervical cancer.

I'm sure it's nothing but also scared it's something.

I am also a little... like 1% concerned of pregnancy. For me this would be an absolute no-no. Long story short, I could not cope with another pregnancy.

I would give anything to be sterilised. In fact, our intimacy has suffered massively because of the fear of pregnancy. Neither of us wants another child.

Sigh.

So... what could it be?

I have similar pains and I have an ovarian cyst. Especially when emptying my bladder it twinges, and I can feel it on one side only.
Your gp will most likely send you for an ultrasound, or send to gynae for follow up.
My ultrasound found that mine is 5cm, and I was told it was right on the cusp of them deciding to wait if it will go down on its own or having it surgically removed. I chose to wait and I’ve to go back and get re scanned.
I’m not saying this is what you have, but just to let you know it could be something harmless like this.
Perhaps you could speak to the gp today about sterilisation too if that’s what you really want?
Wishing you luck.

Thanks for sharing your experience Jammiebammie I assume surgery would be keyhole?

Sadly, everyone seems to think the man should be sterilised and whilst I agree that it is a safer and less invasive treatment, why should my husband go through surgery for me not to end up pregnant. It is not, in my opinion, his duty. Neither of us wants pregnancy but it would destroy me. Even the thought of it causes problems for me.

Yeah, they said it would be very minor op, but in most cases these cysts get reabsorbed anyway. I have endo too and this is a totally different pain. If you don’t mind me being too personal, does your pain get worse during intercourse or any unusual bleeding?

I understand what you’re saying about sterilisation, can you explain this to the doctor? Are you quite young? I know a few years back my friend was refused because she was only 29, even though she already had 3 kids and definitely didn’t want any more.

I will PM you if that's ok?

Of course.
