My story is a little complicated, but here it goes. I had a baby September 13th 2007, and ever since then, obviously, my body has been different. I nursed her for 3 months and then pretty much got my period back a month after stopping. It has been fairly regular, although at first there were maybe 40 days between cycles, and every month it got less and less until the last couple of months it has been back to 28.
A month ago exactly, I suddenly developed this bad stomach pain out of nowhere. It was actually so bad that I fainted at work. It just so happened to be on my right side right above my hip so I headed to the ER afraid it was appendicitis. Well it was not, they actually diagnosed me with a kidney infection. My UA came up positive, and a scan showed irritation up my right urethra and kidney. I was sent home with an antibiotic and some pain meds. A couple days later I began feeling pain in my mid back on the right side. Along with that came fatigue, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and depression. I would have thought I were pregnant again if that were not completely impossible. I went back to the doctor, and although my UA came up negative for any infection, they prescribed me a different antibiotic and within 48 hours I felt completely back to normal. I didn't know this at the time, but that ended up to be ovulation time. (I know now because of the day I got my period).
No problems until yesterday. I began feeling that same back pain on the right side again in the late afternoon. It also started wrapping around to my abdomen. I decided I would wait until morning to see how I felt. When I woke up this morning, I felt okay, but as the day went on I started feeling worse and worse. The pain wasn't in my back anymore, it was in my lower abdomen. At first it felt like it was on the right but then as the day went on it was definately on the left. And this is worse than your typical ovulation pains. I also started feeling that same exhaustion and nausea. My stomach began feeling tight and bloated. I thought forsure the infection was back. I mean, my symptoms were identical. So tonight after work, I picked up my daughter from the sitter and headed to Urgent care. Lo and behold my UA was negative. The Dr. said there was some bacteria found in my urine, but not much at all. They also checked for things in my blood, and everything was normal. She pressed around my abdomen and I almost screamed it hurt so bad. She suggested it might be hormonal. This would actually make sense considering I am ovulating again. I actually checked internally to see forsure (I used to do this when trying to get pregnant), and sure enough there is no doubt in my mind that I am ovulating.
So I still feel like crap, and I actually did vomit tonight. My daughter is going through this phase where she will not go to bed until 10pm. My husband was not home tonight because he was at class (he has gone back to college). Anyway I felt like I could not take care of her. That feeling terrified me. Everything is fine and I managed, but I am worried about myself. Is this something I may have to deal with every month? Does anyone else feel completely ill when they ovulate? I know people can have these symptoms during menstration, but I have never heard of this during ovulation. If I start birth control will that maybe help? Should I go see my obgyn? I am really very upset about this because I feel so sick that it is difficult to function. I cannot tolerate this every month.
Thanks!
