Ruptured Follicle?

[suzywong]

Hello
I've done the inevitable and looked up my symptoms on the interweb before I got checked out at the GPs and I think it is a ruptured follicle; pain and bleeding for a few hours on ovulation, just from one side, been going on for 4 months, heavy period.

Sound familiar to anyone, and if so what is the outcome?

Never heard of it, love - sorry you're suffering.

hello dear
not suffering really, just giving me a bit of gip and a runaway imagination

My friend always says she gets pain and knows exactly what side and when she's ovulated. I think she was told that there is little that can be done so, for her, it's grin and bear it. I suppose it makes sense in that the follicle does rupture each month. Do you have pco or anything that might make it feel worse?

No, not that I'm aware on the PCO front. I don't mind the pain just want to know what it is. Am wondering if it's not a pair of pliers left in from the 2 emergency Caesars

That sounds like something I'd worry about! But then I have an irrational fear of feeling everything whilst under a GA and not being able to communicate that. So I get why the pain could cause you angst!

it may just be a stray Registrar's fingernail, but thanks for replying anyway

It's one of the joys of the internet though, isn't it - putting together a few symptoms and discovering you've got Lassa Fever or Bubonic plague or Chronic Cardigan Wearer's Syndrome. See what the GP says...
