I am in agony! I haven't had pain like this for months I can not wee, poop or have sex (sorry if tmi) without intense pain to the point if feel sick and it's been two weeks. The swelling and water retention are In full force. I'm taking naproxen and using a hot water bottle (yes I'm melting haha) and its only scratching the surface. Any advice of anything else I can try ?

I'm also meant to be at a wedding tomorrow and I really don't want to feel crap :(

yes! I'm struggling too- and at a time of the month when I'm usually at my best (after my period). A lot of folk are saying this lunar eclipse and blood moon (how appropriate!) that's happening tonight is having a huge impact on things. It depends on how much you go along with all that stuff but I am open to thinking there may be something in it. If it is that, it should ease off in the next few days. I hope you improve soon. I personally feel like my whole body is inflamed. It's awful. x

Mine started right after my period too :/ I am definitely open to it also my pain has increased so much within the past two hours I’m in tears, I’m unsure whether to go to a&e or not as I’m really struggling x

Same!! Had a horrendous month for pain and it doesn’t make sense when I compare it to previous months. My pain is usually during ovaluation and then my period but this month the pain and everything else just continued. I was at a wedding and felt so bloated and sore. Someone asked if I was pregnant. Yay 😭😭. My advice for you wedding is wear something loose and comfortable. If you’ve not tried yet, a TENs machine specifically for your ovaries and womb, is a life saver.

I’m so glad it’s not just me I was starting to panic, last night I was in so much pain I was in tears went to a&e. Still lingering today and swollen but not as bad. Haha yes I have a comfy dress which is longish so I haven’t even bothered with uncomfortable knickers haha and I have a heat patch on just scary sometimes isn’t it when it becomes more painful for a while xxxx

how are you feeling today? My pain has gone down a bit but I was in agony this morning- in was in tears with my back pain. Also my stomach has been really bad. I don't think I've ever been like this at this time of the month. It's been so odd for me. I'm hoping it is all the moon or the weird weather and not that my endo has got worse.

I hope you managed the wedding and were able to enjoy yourself. xx

Thank you! I started to feel better yesterday but then today again feel rough again and pain along with blood in discharge. I'm convinced now a chocolate cyst i get ruptured and thats why i was in so much pain, i had the same thing happen a couple of months ago straight after my period ended. I hope your feeling better! I really find those stick on heat pads help especially for back pain
