Hi,

It’s been one of my worst symptoms.  I had it about 5 years ago.  Then didn’t have for ages but it’s started again recently.  It’s vile so I know exactly what you mean.  I have tablets for Vertigo which do help.  It’s very distressing and I’m praying it will go.

Hi, Dazed,

I’m sorry you’re going through this. Yes, I also get these dizzy spells intermittently. I’m not sure if they are actually tied to my ovulation because my cycles have been all over the place in peri.  I do have some weeks where I get terrible vertigo.   Other times it’s just a lightheaded feeling that will come on all of a sudden.  It’s very frustrating.  It makes me nervous when I’m doing things like driving or when I’m grocery shopping.  I do think it’s hormonally related for certain, as I usually get several other peri symptoms that accompany the dizziness (if not at that exact moment, usually within the same day or two)—hot flashes, anxiety, feeling like crying all of a sudden, shakiness, headache, sore muscles and the list goes on and on.  When I do get thee dizzy spells, I use an over the counter topical oil for vertigo that I dab behind my ears.  Sometimes I find that a small ice bag on the back of my neck helps too. I also sip hot green tea. That seems to help a bit.

I hope you are feeling better soon!  Please keep me posted on how you’re doing. You’re not alone in this!  Big hugs—Sarah

Dizziness has been my worst symptom! I have tracked it for years and when I still had a period it definitely coincided with my cycle. Even when they started to slow down I would still get the dizziness every month like clockwork! Now that I am almost 3 years without a period there has been no specific pattern but I feel that it is because my hormones have been all over the place and gradually declining or adjusting. It still is disconcerting , annoying, and scary at times. I just had an episode and it lasted for 3 days... just this constant feeling of being off balance and it makes me fuzzy headed and tired, too. I am also sensitive to movement at times, too...like if I look a certain way while on computer or turn head too quickly, that can make me dizzy for a few seconds, but that may be just cuz I'm getting older 😆

I googled this symptom and this discussion showed up. I recently started feeling this vertigo, off balance type of symptom, been having it for like 3 weeks, have no clue what it could be, but apparently it seems common? I'm only 26 so I dont know.

i have dizzyness during ovulation, its like my head is stuffy and i feel like i cant concentrate plus i get lower back ache and more frequent bowel movements. i had this for a while around 7 years ago then it passed and now ive got it again but i think im starting to kearn more and deal with it better. i usually feel worse in the mornings (empty stomache) and feel better as the day goes on (as i eat more). i think during this time my salt levels drop so taking a diorralyte in the morning for a couple of mornings during ovulation seems to have helped me. i have also recently found out i have a uterine polyp too so whether or not i feel different after i have it removed msy also help which i'll update as and when (nhs).

have you had any resolution about this? i was hoping to fins out what i could do to help it. i thought it was low iron but my iron has been steadily rising.
