Pre-menstrual Cramping While On Pill Posted: 10-15-04 23:08pm
I've been on the pill for over 6 weeks,
and the first pack went by like nothing.
For a while, i've been feeling pain on the
left side of my pelvis...No big deal,
probably a pulled muscle. Then I got it
on the right side...Okay, maybe another
pulled muscle. But just today, for about
4 hours, I got what felt like a less
severe menstrual cramp.
I can easily tell when I have the pains
off to the sides, but this was a full-on
frontal pain...It felt more like pressure
than pain.
................
I'm not having sex, so I doubt pregnancy
is a possibility (bet some of you guys who
know me wouldn't expect ot hear that).
Sooooo...If it's not pregnancy, could the
pill be causing me this cramping pain? As
of about an hour ago the pain/pressure
relieved itself, but the left sided pelvic
pain remains. I thought the pill was
supposed to help ease cramping, not bring
it early!
My period, assuming it will come on time
and not act irregular, is due around
monday or tuesday.
Any advice? Any of you ladies ever
experience cramps before your period while
on birth control?

Cramps Too!! Posted: 10-17-04 10:28am
Hey scaredbaka, I had cramps for like 7
days and they lasted about a couple of
minutes. I have been on bc for about 2
months and i'm suppose to get my period
sometime this week, i'm on the placebo
pills, but my friend said that i'm
probably dropping which u get a lot of
discharge (sorry tmi) and as of yesterday
i'm dizzy and feeling funny, and I know
i'm not pregnant cause I used protection
so hopefully i'll get my period soon and I
have been stressed, but anyways hope this
helps!! :d

I had an appointment on friday and I
mentioned the pelvic pain to my physician
and she said it could be ovarian cysts.
So I did a bit of a web search on them,
but I also checked out conditions with
similar symptoms, and one that sounded a
lot like mine was endometriosis
(spelling?)
i have a lot of the symptoms, but if that
is what I have, i'm not entirely sure how
I may have gotten it. I'll try and ride
it out and see if it doesn't clear up in a
month or so.

Ovarian Cysts Posted: 10-17-04 20:41pm
Hey scaredbaka,
I have an ovarian
cyst, well my second one! I didn't know I
had another one. I decided to go to the
gyno and they found another one but it hurts on
one side sometimes. I'm sure you'll be
fine they are harmless and sometimes go
away on their own.The bcp will help that.
I wouldn't worry about it! Wish you well!
