Weird Periods/Symptoms
Hi guys, I just need some advice or somebody to maybe share personal experience regarding these issues I've been having over the years (im 18). Over the past few years I've been experiencing a lot of "irregular symptoms" revolving around my cycle. Containing:
- Really bad bloating to the point I look like im in early pregnancy
- Having a period during my ovulation and on my regularly timed period 3.some pain during intercourse, but spotting afterwards (sometimes the spotting can last days)
- Hot flashes, which causes heavy sleeping issues, and I've been having a lot of insomnia 5.a sharp pain on my left ovary that can go up, or down my legs.
- Then really bad cramps randomly even when im not on my period (to the point i cant move). And on my period they're hell sometimes even being nauseated from the pain.
- Ive always had clotting and heavy bleeding and a thick like blood during periods
I've developed a lot of these over the last few years, espesically ever since I started a progesterone only birth control, but my issue is when i'm not on birth control these things can get even worse. Which i started my first period when i was 9, and they used to be very normal, but once I hit about 15 everything went really down hill. And symptoms are just getting slowly worse over the years, and my family has a history with uterine problems, but I just find it very hard to believe these things are "normal". Everytime I've gone to a OB, I've been to two different ones. They all say I look normal even on ultrasounds. But I still feel like this isnt normal, I know a lot of these can be caused by PMS, but this affects my life daily all month. Just not before my periods. And I was wondering if anybody had similar experiences, thank you to anybody who responds <3
