Strange pulling feeling

Hi all

Just wondering if anyone has ever felt anything similar. I have been getting stranger kind of period pains but throughout the month, not just around period time. I actually just continue my pull over so never have a period and it's only been recently that I've started having some pains in that area.

The only way I can describe the main discomfort is as if something has got twisted up and as it's being pulled, it's then causing a strange pulling twinging pain.

I've actually been to the doctor and had an internal scan which showed that ovaries and everything is absolutely fine so I don't really want to go back and trouble doctor when they have sen inside that everything is fine.

... but I do still have these weird pains?

Ovulation pain

I had exactly what you describe and was diagnosed years ago with endometriosis. I had surgery to confirm it

@CamperVan79 I have historically had endometriosis - if there was a flare up I had presumed that would have shown on the internal scan but they said it looked clear? How did they know to do surgery on you?

@Bythehairywartsonmywitchychin I could see why it could be ovulation pain but it happens more than once during the month?

Endometriosis doesn't show up on scans. I had all the scans and tests but as I was still in so much pain they sent me for a laproscopy and found I had endo.

I’ve had this @pancakes22 and still no idea what it was. It happened for a while when I was having horrendous periods for months at a time. It just went away by itself, all very weird.
