Period cramps but no period.

Posted , 6 users are following.

A couple of weeks ago I put a post on here about having a strange feeling down below and in my bottom. Well it continued and I started needing to wee more. Went to the docs as thought could be vaginal atrophy, I had an internal, had bloods, water sample dipped and sent off. Came back that I'd got thrush, but everything else was all clear bloods and water sample all clear.

Since then it's changed, I used the canesten pessary and cream but don't know if it's worked as it took forever to dissolve!

Now I'm getting weird cramp like feelings again, I had these the week my bits felt funny too but not as bad. It's like period cramps ovary ache and low back ache with bloated feeling, exactly like I'd get if was getting or having a period. But nothing has shown up. My last period was on Xmas day, I'd had 2 that month.

I'm also getting lots of other symptoms

Headaches, flushes, lack of appetite, facial aches, muscle pain and aches, sense of smell increased, dizziness, bone aches, fatigue, lack of motivation, wind and tingly feelings.

Has anyone else had anything like this?

The docs think it's just the lack of hormones for a proper period and that's why I'm getting the cramps.

Just fed up of feeling yucky.

    hi lesley ive been feeling like this for months its exhausting, yes yucky is a great way of describing it all day every day, my period type cramps can be really painful with very little bleed (im on hrt 3rd month no miracles yet) at the moment my back has been burning/stinging doctor thinks its tension which is not unlikely with my daily struggles hope we both find some relief soon x

    I am also experiencing most of what you described. Starting to feel like Perimenopause has turned me into a hypochondriac. My doctor thinks it's all hormone related.
