Title: Ovulation pain and bloating in peri
Post by: CrispyChick on November 20, 2020, 08:34:04 PM
Hi.

I'm just waiting for my period so I can try HRT. I'm just wondering what this new symptom is all about... And curious to know what might happen when I increase my estrogen with hrt 🤔.

Mid cycle - ovulation pain. Nothing new for me. Had this for years - used to last about 24 hours. The last 3 months it has lasted up to 5 days. Quite uncomfortable and with bad bloating and discomfort. Today I am on day 3 of the pain and I also feel really narky and off.

If I add estrogen, will this help??? Or is it likely to trigger better ovulation and give me this pain??? Cant work it out.

Or should I be considering there is something wrong? E. G cyst.

Thanks x

Anyone???

I'm now on day 5 of this dull ovarian pain and also feeling extremely bloated and just generally off with a bit of nausea avd very very tired.

I'm thinking possibly a cyst???

Am I right in thinking they are lore likely in peri and may occur if the egg is not released??? So fed up with all the symptoms, one after the other!

Thank you for the reply sparkle.

It's ramped up so bad today - perhaps burst cyst??? Been in a lot of pain. And now very tender very low down. Will be seeing doc about this.

I can't take any more symptoms 🙈. I was reading that a cyst can occur when no ovulation takes place... That would make sense during peri...

Hopefully they'll scan me and give some advice on hrt.

Yip. I feel it in my bowel.

I'm just not sure what hrt will do to this? Help or make worse? 🤷‍♀️
