Does ovulation pain stop when you are reaching the menopause

[Mindovermatter45]

Hi,

I don't know if I've just got lucky this month I've had a cold and so it could have been taking painkillers for that, in that I find I'm having a trouble free period on time pretty much! I also take 100mg Progesterone capsule daily.

I was told at a private scan that I had a thick lining and went through a time of having fortnightly periods which I've now put down to weight loss injection as everything seems back to normal now I've stopped that particular injection.

I've generally started to notice that I don't suffer mid-cycle ovulation problems anymore - is this a good sign for the menopause? (I have a small fibroid that gives a little grief which is not treatable / not worthy of removing as not large and it was last said that it will likely disappear at menopause)

If your menopausal it means you no longer have periods & you no longer ovulate.

Thanks I do get what you are saying. I have been left very confused.

Earlier last year only one ovary could be seen on a scan and not many eggs were there telling me I was definitely heading for peri.

Later in year in the Autumn I went back for a scan to check on fibroid I am told oh we see a right ovary now to so both seen, you are very fertile. It was quite a mind f!!k, the sonographer just wrote up on the scan notes I was on HRT. (not that I'd really think in reality trying to get pregnant at 43 was the thing to do)

I don't want to take up any more of the nhs's time as the last hysterscopy (belt and braces approach as my weight is against me after fibroid diagnosis as I understood it) which oddly revealed a thin lining at that time and they need do nothing further for the fibroid. (or it is in a risky place for removal)

My GP surgery won't run bloods for this situation due to my age and I found gynae not much use who only wanted to supply the coil tried that and got it removed but that was months ago and I have no clue if somehow they are trying to force meno on to deal with the Fibroid as I read some women who get taken seriously by gynae for fibroids are advised to go into menopause with the different drugs I'm sure I read somewhere on a support group.
