I can you tell if you are going through memopause? I had my tubes tired almost 4 years ago and everytime I ovulate, right in the middle of my hips hurt like crazy. My doc says Im just getting older. Well duh. It feels like my back is out and then after I start, by day two that feeling is gone. Well this time it has been a week since I quit and my back/hip area is just killing me. Any thoughts?
