Feeling super miserable, not because of the negative tests but because of the aches and cramps.

Last month was the same. About a week before period is due I start getting aches around my middle and back. My ovaries ache and I feel like I’m being poked continually.

I never had this before until last month. I usually only ever had the pulsating cramps on the one day of proper bleeding when I was actually shedding the lining.

I feel miserable that this may now be my norm and each month I’ll have to suffer like this ahead of my period.

My periods last over a week but they’re spotting, pauses and then just a few days of bleeding.

Years ago I had an ultrasound so I know I have small cysts. I just don’t know when it would be acceptable to go to the doctors about this since I have only been TTC a few months.

I’m 31.
