What really scares me, although it happens every single month for a long, long time now, is the tenderness and uterine pain. Not as much the pain, I don't think. I can barely touch/put lite pressure on the uterus/bladder and it hurts, like I was boxed in there. It all subsides a couple of days after ovulation though and don't really have much tenderness before my period.
Is there ANYONE that knows how this feels.
such a bad month. On day 5 with a headache and dizziness...the longest bout yet

if you scroll down it speaks of getting *stuck* in the follicular phase....sounds correct to me!!!!

Just wanted to send a {{{hug}}} and wishes for relief soon. I'm so sorry you're going through a bad patch.

All best,
Cynthia

Have you got the book girlsmom? Sounds very informative may buy this.

Hope you are feeling a bit better too.

Hi Ladies,
No, I don't have the book. I just googled looking for info and came across it. It does sound interesting and think I may put the order in for it through amazon tomorrow.
Suffering with gas, which is good actually cause atleast it rids me of some pain. I don't know. I did trans-Atlantic flight and it seems when ever I do so, I suffer with a hormone frenzy after...I guess with the age, it takes time for the body to recover. Sad because I don't want to have this each time I fly back home which seems to be the case the last 1.5 years
Went for a massage today and actually felt myself start to breathe like I haven't been the last few days....ahhhh, the stress. Had a BBQ at my Girlfriends and am SO trying to pull myself out of this slump although I am only half hearted there, just so tired and try to hide it/forget about it but can't because it is so present.

Had one of the 2nd or 3rd yeast infec.of my life. Probably from vacation with the wet bathing suits and tampons that I NEVER otherwise wear....after failed suppository treatment, Dr gave me some pill to try. Not sure if the yeast has added to my problems this month. *****.

Stopped Black Cohosh about 3 months ago...now that I stopped it, I think I see what a help it may have been for me the last year. Will pick it up again tomorrow.

Wow! Never planned on coming on here with such a rant today. I am a widowed Mom with 3 Girls and health anxiety, which only comes on once or twice a year, is here to visit. I am so afraid of something being wrong and leaving my Girls orphaned....

Damn...time to pull myself together......best saying in the world is "It is not that we die too young, it is just that we wait too long to start living"
Tomorrow I will make it a better day, regardless!
