Does anyone else get really bad ovulation pain?
I've always had ovulation pain but it used to be a sharp very intense, doubling over like pain in my teens (for about 5 mins - I didn't know what it was back then) and then I was on the pill for over 10 years and then had 2 children and since then, every month, I get very bad lower back pain, stomach cramps and the last two months I've actually thrown up a couple of times. This lasts 2-3 days with one day always being the worst (usually just after ovulating - if I take the sharp pain on one side as symptomatic of ovulation).
I'm considering going to the doctors but I suspect I'll just get fobbed off and told to take pain medication (which I already to). Is there anything they can do or can this be a sign of anything more sinister going on? I'm done with children so not concerned about any fertility issues. I was considering going back on the pill to stop ovulation but I'm enjoying living an artificial hormone free life!
