Does anyone else have a sharp shooting pain the day before their period?!
Medical people aren't really interested because it doesn't last long enough to be debilitating and there aren't any other symptoms, but I'm becoming more convinced it's why I haven't conceived in over two years.
I had an emergency c section with our first. We started trying for our second the same time my periods came back. Every month I have a sharp pain that lasts about 15-30 seconds. In that time I can't do anything but stand or sit still and then it goes and I carry on. It's in the same place every time. Right below my c section where it was infected and is extra flabby.
I realised when I was talking to a friend that it doesn't happen if we're not trying (after we got bad news, when I had covid) so we purposely tested the theory this month and there was no pain.
I don't know how else to try and get a medical person to listen. It's obvious, if it is a thing, it isn't common. I feel it's fobbed off as menstrual cramps but it isn't any kind of cramp I've ever had before so I just wondered if anyone else is in the same boat. We've been transferred to a fertility clinic (because of the lack of conception rather than the pain) and I just wanted to know if there was anything I should ask to have checked when we speak to the doctor there. I'm not a very forceful person, which I don't think helps, so any advice will be gratefully received. Thanks.
