Bloating, pain and frequent urination

Hello, firstly before anyone states it, I have seen my GP numerous times about this and will be seeing my GP again shortly. I know random individuals online cannot diagnose me.

I just wondered really if anyone had similar symptoms and what the outcome was.

For around 2 years I have on and off had bloating that makes me look around 5 months pregnant (I'm a size 6/8) which seems to then cause more frequent urination. I also have a lot of pelvic pain and occasionally pain during sex.

Swabs were normal (although I do often get BV and thrush) and urine test also normal. I had a pelvic and transvaginal scan which revealed a 3cm ovarian cyst. I had a repeat scan 3 months later to check the cyst and when calling for the results was told by the receptionist 'no action required' so I assume the cyst has gone.

The symptoms started around 3 months after the birth of my ds (c section) and not long after the mirena coil. Although this may be completed unrelated.

Ovulation seems to be a trigger as during this time I get very sore breasts (like pregnancy sore) and an onset of bloating and pain. However at present it is pretty much every day. I did take antibiotics last year for a UTI and noticed that my bloating and pelvic pain seemed to cease after. However it is now back and almost daily.

I'm fed up of being sore, uncomfortable and bloated. I don't want to do anything when I feel like this.
Anyone else?

Have a look into Interstitial Cystitis and see if it matches up with any of your symptoms.
