period type pain

i have a problem that my docs cant seem to sort out so any ideas would be welcome.
i am having really bad cramps in the lower abdominal area and also in the area of my ovaries.
this seems to be happening even when i am not on my period.
i have been for an ultrasound scan today, but they cant find anything wrong with my womb or ovaries, also i had a mirena coil fitted 11 weeks ago and they thought it might have moved but it hasnt and i dont want to have it removed because my heavy periods will come back.
i am 49 and in peri and on top of all the other problems with peri this is driving me mad.
anyone have any ideas?

Re: period type pain

You may have Endometriosis or Adenomyosis.
I would recomened a Laporoscopy and a MRI to see the size of the Uteris.

Re: period type pain

I had to respond because I've been dealing with this for close to a year now. I too have had pelvic ultrasounds, etc. and all returned a negative or negligible results. I'm now on a new birth control pill and have been told not to take the break between pills, just keep taking them daily. This effectively shuts down your period which is a real bonus. The feeling of constant PMS (cramps, bloating, etc) is finally going away. I'm on Yasmin, although I suspect there's many alternatives. It was actually my family doctor that seemed to find the best solution here. I can certainly understand where you're coming from. I thought I was going crazy after nearly a year of daily cramps and bloating. I don't know how long this solution will last, but at this point I'm going to take what I can get. I hope you're feeling better soon.

Re: period type pain

Andrea,
You said that you see a GP. What about a Gyno??
