What is the solution to the back pain?

I used to have terrible one-sided pain during my periods until they found a big cyst in my left ovary and removed it via lap surgery. No more cramps at all anymore during my periods, even 1 year later.

Clearly, it was the cyst causing this pain…. So this leads me to believe there is something similar causing my lower back pain. And I want to know how I can find out so I can remove it, too.

I’ve been doing regular ultrasounds and have a couple small cysts in each ovary, however they are too small for surgery (right?) and they do not cause me any pain.

But my lower back pain during my periods is unbearable, especially at the end of my tailbone in the middle, just above my butt.

Here are my questions that I would really really appreciate anyone’s answers or experiences on:

  1. Is it possible that I have endo on my back? If so, how can I check that out (do they do ultrasounds on the back, lol?) and ask for it to be removed?
  2. Would this pain be caused by endo elsewhere that has an effect on the tailbone area? For example on my bladder? Again, how can I confirm this?
  3. Should I do pelvic floor PT? Or wait till something is confirmed?

Thank you so much.

Did I have an anovulatory cycle?

Had an early miscarriage in May, bled until CD9, and I got positives OPKs on CDs 18 & 19.

My period is supposed to come tomorrow.

My breasts started to get sore a couple days ago which is an indicator that my period is near, but last night (CD31), I had very white stretchy mucus.

This morning (CD32), my breast soreness is COMPLETELY gone with still no sign of a period. Not even spotting.

I also did confirm BFN this morning (DPO13), so I’m definitely not pregnant.

Is something wrong? Has this happened to anyone before? I know that hormones may still be adjusting but I’m worried. I had periods like clockwork before my miscarriage. My cycles are usually 30-31 days. I’m worried that I had an anovulatory cycle or something like that.

Enterococcus faecalis affecting fertility?

We’ve been trying to get pregnant for a while with no success and one early miscarriage. We’ve done all the tests and just found out that husband has enterococcus faecalis through semen analysis. 10 x E6 CFU/L. Does this affect husband’s fertility (despite normal counts, motility, etc. otherwise) and could it be the reason for no success? Has anyone successfully treated this?

Any success stories with cheapies that never got dark? I’m 20 DPO today.

Got my first vvvvvvfl at 11DPO on e@h (the photo). Since then, the line has barely gotten darker no matter what time I test, even till today at 20DPO. There’s still visible progression, but I never got a BFP or dye stealer and I don’t seem anywhere close. In fact, today looked lighter than yesterday. And atp I threw the rest of the tests out because they’re giving me so much anxiety. I’ve sorted of already accepted it’s a chemical but….

Any success stories where cheapies never really worked apart from confirming a second line was still there? Despite staying faint? I’m 5w and my only symptoms are sore breast.

Already had blood drawn but need to wait till tomorrow for results.

11 to 19 DPO - lines way too faint? Mo

Please give it to me straight up. I am 6w exactly today.

These tests were all taken between 11 DPO (my first VVVFL) to 19 DPO (can you tell I’m paranoid?). Last test is today at 19 DPO.

You can see the lines getting darker but no dye-stealer… not even close. In fact, today, at 19 DPO, the line seemed lighter than 17 DPO.

I did get my blood drawn but still waiting for results. No symptoms except some breast soreness that fluctuates day to day.

Is my HCG too low? Should I be worried? I have no bleeding or MC signs otherwise, but why isn’t the line getting darker?

12, 13, 14 DPO - no line progression?

Is this normal? I don’t see any progression in the lines and I’m on CD 30, DPO 14 now😔 is the third test (14 DPO) too light?

Is this good or bad for 12 DPO FMU?

I don’t have access to test my HCG levels and wondering if this is in the normal range for 12dpo mamas, FRER. Really praying this baby sticks but worried about the faint line. Does this look normal for 12dpo? Pls help im spiralling 😃

11 to 12 DPO - could this be a CP?

Yesterday I got my very first VVVFL on easy@home (11DPO, CD27). That was a night test.

Today, 12DPO, FMU, easy@home was almost stark white. There was barely a shadow of a line, almost not noticeable at all on camera. But I took a FRER at the same time and it was clearly positive.

Recognising that e@h has gotten lighter from yesterday, am I having a CP?

11 DPO - night test

My first ever vvvvfl on CD27 & DPO11. Does anyone else see it or am I delusional? Should I worry about CP since it’s so faint at 11DPO? I don’t want to get my hopes up but I can’t believe my eyes!!!!

11 dpo - am I pregnant?

Been trying for a baby for so long. This is CD27, 11DPO, FMU, and I don’t want to get my hopes up. Could this be a false negative? When should I test again to see a darker line? Am I pregnant for real?

Also worried bc I had sore boobs yesterday but not today…

“Infections” only 5 days after sex?

Since we started having sex with no protection (bc we’re trying to get pregnant), I (F27) always start to get itchy in my hooha & lots of yellow discharge. but only 5 days AFTER our last sex day. It’s always never right after, but symptoms begin 5-6 days after. What could this be?? It’s so itchy and takes 2-3 days to go away, but no odour.

This never really happened when we were using condoms.

Note: we both have only ever slept with each other our whole lives, not sure if that matters. I also have endometriosis.

Could I be having some sort of reaction to his sperm? Could one of us be infected (and if so, why only 5 days after sex do symptoms show?), could this be affecting my fertility and chances of getting pregnant too?

Please help.
