Period pain after scratch

Hi, I stopped northisterone on Tuesday and had my scratch on Wednesday. I started spotting Thursday night and spotted on Friday and what I would consider as CD1 yesterday and I’m due to start stims tonight which is CD2. I seem to have more period pain than I normally would although I had quite bad cramps before I finished northisterone too. I’m presuming this is because I had my scratch so close to starting my period and I’m just having a painful one anyway but I just wanted to check if anybody else had had worse period pain than usual after their scratch!

I actually had period pains when I had my period after my scratch too, when I usually don't have any kind of pain during it. My protocol was slightly different from yours but I think it is probably quite normal. Hope this helps xx

Thank you!! You start to drive yourself mad questioning everything. I totally ignored the signs of OHSS last time so this time round I think I’m going to overanalyse everything instead! I figured it was probably normal!

Hi Suzy. I think it's just down to the repair going on in your womb lining. as it often causes great achy feelings. Hope it soon settles. Diane
