Reassurance needed..............Possibly TMI alert.........

[MoreTeaAnyone]

Over the past couple of months I have been having slight cramp and 'twinges' all the time. I can feel pressure at the lower end of my tubes and a general heaviness as if my period is about to start.

Period still arriving but not exactly the same as 'normal'. A little lighter and slightly heavier on the last day. (Usual was heavy all the time).

Is this OK?

Sorry MTA, no advice but nice to see your name again

Thanks Miaou.
I had been deliberately staying away for a while but I needed some help about this. I posted yesterday about the day from hell and...well you know what it's like...addictive!

Ve haf vays of making you post ....

Too many friends on here...You really should become a bunch of cows and then I could stay away.

Advice anyone?

do you have a coil?
i found that it meade me very twingy and heavy for a while?

no, no coil.

any hormonal contraception....not approaching the age of no more periods?

I'm 31 next week. However my gran went through the change in her 30's. I have already been to the doctor at the beginning of the year to get that checked because I was worried about menopause because of very light periods. The test said negative for menopause then.

hmm......might be worth going back..for the reassuarance...x

Thanks lulumama.

Is it definitely connected with your ovaries etc.? I had cramps and twinges for a year after dd was born. It turned out to be irritable bowel, based mainly in the very last part of the bowel, which is very near the left ovary. I was even investigated for pelvic infection.

Worth investigating?

Maybe worth a shot.

My main feeling is that my period is about to start, I get this feeling just about every day and run to the toilet to check I haven't started. It's really annoying. The bloating is a pain as well.

Bloating could definitely be a sign of IBS.
