feeling a little lost

Have you had any ultrasounds done you might have cyst. I had a lot of pain and that is what it was from.

Hi Natalie

When I was your age, I experienced irregular periods pain during and after sex and when going to the toilet (a poo), it was like passing glass.

I was diagnosed with Endometriosis. It's where some of the lining of the womb grows outside the womb.

I'm not indicting for one second that you have this, but the symptons you mention are what I had.

I was then diagnosed with PCOS.

Have a chat with the doctor again, it needs sorting.

Good luck

You should have follow up scans I have them every year since I was diagnosed in 2009, if you are experiencing very bad pain then cysts are the most likely cause, unfortunately they don't do anything about them unless they're a considerable size and causing a lot of problems, and as you're very young like me they always tell me the risks of having them removed are worse than leaving them there, as having them removed causes scaring which causes trouble with fertility and as I'm only 22 they won't operate, my last scan I had 17 cysts and they refuse to remove any of them, two of which were quite large, I know it's not very helpful but I have been on the depo provera which I have found helps more than the mini pill or the implant, I've literally tried everything there is and depo has worked some what for me, also things like endemetriosis can cause these symptoms, but you are very similar to me so I'd say it's cysts like I have but they won't do anything about them because of your age, sorry it's not very helpful but Drs aren't with PCOS, they just seem to leave everyone too it as they don't really know much about it, hope you start feeling better soon, and ask about depo provera it really was much better than any other pill xx
