I'm 22. I have been on the pill since October 2004. I take it at the same time when I'm supposed to (I have the alarm on my watch set to remind me). In april 06 i had severe cramping in my lower left side during the mid cycle point. I could barely walk and the pain lasted 4 days. Every cycle after that the pain returned to the same side. It would go away within a few days.
In october I hemoraged mid-cycle with severe cramping. The doctors were convinced I had missed some pills and I knew I truly hadn't.
Lately, I have noticed that the pain is starting to go into my pelvic bone. It hurts to walk, and the lymph nodes surrounding it are swollen like marbles. It goes away within 4 days from severe pain, to dull pain, to sore and then it's normal.
I have had an ultra sound done in November and they said my uterus was tilted, but normal and that my right ovary was twice the size of my left ovary, yet everything seemed to be normal.
My flow is also rather heavy for someone on the pill, heavier then what it was when I wasn't on the pill. Theres lots of clots that come out too. The cramping gets pretty bad too.
Also, within my last cycle I had my period and spotted 2 seperate times during the cycle.
I don't understand what's going on as the pill prevents ovulation, heavy bleeding, and all this stuff that i shouldnt have.
I went to the emerg 3 days ago in excruciating pain and they gave me a urine test, blood test and xray'd my stomach. They told me I was constipated and had a bladder infection. I knew that I wasn't constipated.. I'm very regular, twice a day. I may have had a bladder infection in the making, as my pee hadn't bothered me yet. I have had bladder infections before and I will never forget that discomforting pain.
They won't listen to me and look into the area that this pain is happening in.
The joints in my hands are stiffening up too, which has recently happened as the pain gets worse.
I have lost a bit of a weight, which is welcomed, but I didn't plan. I did think it was weird to drop 10 pounds over the holidays.
So if anybody has similair symptoms, or advice I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!
