Hello everybody Im new to this forum but I needed somewhere to turn before I just get so depressingly mad at all thats going on with "supposedly" fine body. Ok well the run down is, I have 3 kids, all pregnancies and period cycles were fine Until I had my 3rd (and last) 5 years ago. After I had him my periods were all over the place and PAINFUL! I would cramp at the beggining of my period during and after and then I would also cramp at around the time I would ovulate. I went and seen 3 different local gps who all put it down to mittlesmerchz (not too sure on spelling) so then they started on different pills to stop me ovulating and getting my period. Around we went in circles with none of it working. So I got sent to a gyno, he ed at me for half an hour about smoking, did a quick internal and put me on yet another pill, which cost a fortune, and said it would work, IT DIDNT! by then (almost 3 yrs after it all started) the pains were getting worse, and affecting me mentally and physically. We worked out I was pain/blood free for about 5-7 days out of every month. So I went back again to another gp, he immediatly ruled out the mittlesmerchz, as the pill would have stopped me ovulating which would have stopped the pain. So off to another gyno who immediatly booked me in for exploratory surgery (laproscopicly) a d&c, novasure ablation, and tubal litigation. He assumed I had endometriosis. So I had the surgeries on the 2nd october last year. NOTHING was found, apparently my insides are healthy and normal, no endo no cysts no scarring nothing. The novasure left watery discharge for a few weeks, and then things seemed to be fine. But now when I would be due for my period (the novasure worked brilliantly with stopping them) I cramp so badly that I cant even walk. Think contractions right before you are allowed to push when having your baby, and this goes on for at least 3 and up to 6 days in a row. Then If i go walking or swing an axe or mow my lawns, same thing. I have sex, same thing. I am so sick to death of going to the chemist to buy pain relief, I feel like a major druggie. I am over the pain and I really just dont know what to do. Its getting so bad, I cant seem to find anything about the after effects long term of novasure ablation. I am seriously close to ringing my dr and asking for a hysterectomy. I just want to know if anyone has been through the same, my friends family and partner just dont understand, its not a pain you can see but my god can you feel it. Its depressing me so much, I want to go back to work but how, when this happens so much.
