Negative smear so what is causing these symtoms??

Had a ds a little over a year ago by c-s and since then been having problems that I'd never had before. Ovulation pains, thrush after ovulation every month, very painful periods especially about three days before them. I will be wracked in agony, my stomach swells up to about the size of four months preg, I get a lot of wind and the cramps are unbelievable. I honestly thought I was in labour last month. Then the day before my period arrives, my stomach goes back to normal size.

Last month I went for a jog (my first after having ds) and I had a bit of mid-cycle bleeding when I went to the toilet after. This was enough for me to book my smear and it came back negative.

Obviously I've now booked an appt to see my gp but does anyone have any ideas what is causing this? I'm starting to think somehow the c-s has messed up my insides if that's possible and worried as dh and I were going to start ttc come the summer.

Probably nothing serious at all the only thing that comes to mind is ovarian cysts- harmless 99% of the time and quite common.

Goo luck with your appt.

maybe connected to IBS?

Thanks.

vem - do ovarian cysts affect fertility at all?

loopylou - ibs had crossed my mind but the mid-cycle bleeding threw me off.

I had a cyst which they happenend to see when they were giving me a scan (had miscarried and they wanted to ensure I was all 'flushed' out)- consultant said just to leave it to sort itself out - I then fell pregnant again 4 months later and had my lovley little boy last May.

Having said all of that I am now suffering from abdomen pains and cramp mid cycle and very light periods, so I am getting scanned again on Thursday - ovarian cysts are what came to my mind for my symptons.
