painful ovulation - anyone? and/or the copper coil/basically chat about contraception

[nailpolish]

i have terrible pains during ovulation. its like a period but doesnt last as long (2-3days)

i have a copper coil and i think its making it worse. also have heavy periods which are painful 2-3 days before period arrives, and during period (sometimes 5 days)

i dont kow what to do

cant take the pill or mirena coil as ive had a dvt in the past and dotn want to go near artificial hormones

i dont wnat any more chidlren (99.9% sure)

anyone?

I've got a copper coil too and I get on ok with it. At least I don't have to think about it or worry about getting pg! When I had my 1st coil I had similar probs to what you're talking about. You can get painkillers for it that are prescription only. I can't remember what they're called. It may well be worth going to your doc. Not fun being in pain, especially if there is a painkiller for the sort of pain your in!

It should get better with time.

not keen on long term painkillers though

i have had painful ovulation since dd1 was born i think - stopped during pg with dd2 (obv) and then started again - i think - didnt get a coil til a year after dd2 ws born

so dont think its related

it just feel slike a mess

painful ovulation
painful periods
dont want any more children anyway
cnat have pill or mirena

etc etc etc

Might be worth getting checked by GP. Sometimes prolonged mid-cycle pain and heavy periods can be caused by endometriosis or fibroids.

Not an expert on the subject but I get umcomfortable pelvic pain and think I have an ovarian cyst. Am awaiting scan for this.

Hopefully others may be able to advise you, nailpolish.

Not much too offer nailpolish apart from mutual suffering. I suffer from very painful ovulation, but not every month. Have a Mirena but don't think it is related as I had this pre-babies and pre-Mirena. Saw a doc about it in my early 20s and he had nowt useful to advise, just prescribed Ponstan Forte painkillers, which, like you, I didn't want to take long term. Maybe get something in stock for when the pain is really awful? I don't know if sterilisation would stop it? Not sure I'd want to go through that myself...

i was told that hanaflower

at sterilisation. its sucha massive op

oh no jalopy
hope you sort it out soon

ponstan is good isnt it

dh has offered to get the snip - but it wouldnt solve my painful ovulation would it

Yes used to feel nice and floaty on Ponstan

Perhaps you should book useful in for a gynae MOT naily. I've been thinking I should do the same - as others have helpfully pointed out, summat dodgy could be going on. Am currently ignoring a 3 week old invitation for a smear test so hark at me...

yourself rather than useful even...

i have an ultrasound booked for enxt week - have been having probs with thyroid (gp thinks) and digestion/bloating/nausea/pain

god its so vague - but im starting to think its thyroid and some gynae stuff

waffling now sorry

have beent aking thyroxne for 6 weeks now and its helping abit wiuth bloating/eating etc but not pain, which after keeping a calendar i notice its mid cycle

am i making snese? wish i could take a miracle cotnraception too

I.know a very old post nail polish.but saw this post and it describes me at the moment aswell!! Can I ask.how it was sorted in.the end?

This is me right now. 6 weeks after having coil fitted. I have the worst sickening pain in what i presume is my left ovary. I used to laugh at women who said they had painful periods and think ‘its just a period, get over it’ but wow the copper coil gives periods a whole new meaning!
