Hi All,
Just under two weeks prior to my period, I get all the bloating and cramps that come with the actual period -- just minus AF herself. This is NOT ovulation as this lasts for two weeks straight. All the symptoms that go with the period are there. The bloating, cramping, swelling feeling, even the vaginal discomfort that sometimes comes with a period. It then usually disappears during AF, although sometimes my second day is painful or quite painful but the rest of the AF is usually fine.
I just think this whole two weeks thing is very odd because, technically speaking, the body doesn't know it's going to menstruate until the day beforeish or day of your period and doesn't even decide if it's pregnant until around six days after ovulation. My pain starts around 2DPO -- as though it has already made up its mind that I won't conceive.
I was ttc this month and the bloating and cramps set in at the normal time... I feel quite upset and depleted about the whole thing. Also, my usual token period pimple has sprung up so I feel my chances of PG are about 1% at best.
Does this sound like endo? In terms of PCOS, I am definitely overweight but I had an ultra sound five years ago in my abdominal area and I had good, clean healthy ovaries. My sister, nor mother nor grandmother on either side have had PCOS either. My periods are regular and not heavy nor light... just average. I'm not sure if this is TMI but I'm kind of desperate to work out what's going on with my body. I feel so sad about this month's chances too!
If you're still reading this, thanks for sticking with it till the end. Any advice is appreciated.
