Changes in period...

0 Replies

Hello all!

I'm currently on the waiting list for a lap after ultrasound and MRI have found two cysts (from endo) on my left ovary.

That was about two months ago but coincidentally over the last two-three months I've noticed some changes in my period.

since coming off the pill about 18 months ago I have had very regular periods, usually 28-29 day cycles and usually a week before terrible pmt, bloating and severe cramps. During my period I would get one day of horrific flooding and Bleeding with intense cramps and pain down my legs and up my back with a very swollen tum. Period would last about 6 days.

But over last few months-especially this month and last my cycle has been 33 and 38 days with no real pmt symptoms before, no pain at all really and what I would consider medium blood flow. Some bloating and bowel trouble but nothing excessive at all like things have been previously.

Only thing different which I've not had before is experiencing nausea during few days before and a few days in. Especially this month (the smell of dog food gets to me a lot!!)

It's so unusual, I used to be crippled for a week before and during first day or two of period but now nothing... Feels what I imagine 'normal' periods are like! I'm not complaining just perplexed!

Any suggestions??
