the worst period cramps
So, I'm 25.. I've had my period since I was 12.. I'm very health conscience and feel like I know my body pretty well.. My periods seems to flunctuate.. Through the years they have been light, heavy, short, long. But they are always consistent.. Every 25 days on the dot unless I travel..
But in the recent 5 months or so I've been having THE WORST period cramps.. It's to the point where I can't go into work.. Luckily my period is consistent so I literally schedule the first 2 days of my period off every month.. Cuz otherwise I'd be calling in sick.. They are soo effing painful.. Like i can't even stand up or walk around.. I just lay in bed in fetal position all day.. I start taking ibuprofen a week before my period starts and I think it kind of helps. I also work out a lot and that doesn't seem to make any difference.. . But I just don't think this is normal! Or okay!! It's so annoying!! I use a diva cup and have for years and it's not like my period is extra heavy or anything.. My period usually last like 4 days with the last 2 days being super light. It's like my body just pushes it all out in 2 super painful days..
Is this NORMAL?! Do any of you have advice?
I'm kind of thinking I have a ovarian cyst on my left side cuz that side always hurts way worse.. But I'm so scared to go to the doctor.. I know I should just get over it and go but I'm terrified of the Doctor!
I just want normal periods again! 😩
