Does anyone have these symptoms monthly and have been diagnosed with anything? These are what I suffer with...

Awful bloating around ovulation and period

Oily skin/acne

Ovulation pains which makes intercourse painful unbearable

Sharp pains in abdomen as if I’ve pulled something(when I move quick or stand up)

When period finally arrives

Very short 2-3 days

Very light no proper flow

Very dark in colour sometime tar looking

Advice would be appreciated so much x

First to say I haven't been diagnosed with anything but I am awaiting a laparoscopy at present.

Just wanted you to know that you are not alone in this as you've described some of my symptoms except my periods last 7 days and they're terribly heavy, the blood at first is very tar like that's a good way of describing it actually.

Ovulation for me is almost as painful as periods, it makes me so mad sometimes because it hurts that much it goes through me! Sex is an absolute no go then as I cannot stand the pain.

Are your symptoms being investigated?

Thinking of you xx

What you described is what I experience, I have just been diagnosed with endo. Today actually. But because I have it, doesn’t mean you will. Go to your doctor and tell them what you’ve told us. It may take some convincing for them to send you tests but if you are worried or suffering they should listen to you. Good luck.

Also adenomyosis has some of the same symptoms as endo so ask for a internal ultrasound too, I was diagnosed with adenomyosis I now have suspected endometriosis waiting on a lap hope your sorted out soon xx

Also started off with the monthly pains and bad blood with periods only I was on longer but mine are 7 to 14 days long now I have the pain everyday so the sooner you can get sorted the better before it gets any worse xx
