Does anyone else experience sharp pains in their left side before their period?

Jessica • ❤❤❤

It happens to me at different times in my cycle, sometimes when I'm ovulating or sometimes while I'm PMSing. They're very sharp pains in my left side, similar to a stitch or appendicitis (which is what GP thought it was the first time I experienced it). They're so strong that I can barely walk when I have them, I feel pressure in my stomach that makes me feel nauseous and dizzy to the point of fainting.

Been having them since I was 14 but they don't come every month, anyone know what it might be and how to treat it? Ibuprofen doesn't do anything to help me with this particular problem 😭
