Hello. I see this post is a month old and no one commented. I am having a similar issue. A few weeks ago, I had some cramping and spotting. I'm two and a half years post menopausal. I went to the dr and had a biopsy, pelvic and transvaginal ultrasound and all came back normal except for a couple benign ovarian cysts. Like clockwork, two weeks from when I spotted, I'm having ovulation cramps on one side. From what I have been reading, this seems to not be too unusual, especially in the first several years post menopause.

How long did your cramps last?

This is disheartening to someone still going through it. UGH! When does it end???!!! I am so looking forward to the end of this misery. I am nearly 47. My mom is nearly 67 and had gone thru it but a few months ago she had a period and now she might have to have a full hysterectomy. *Sighs* I hope everything works out well for all of us.

To any of you suffering from heavy bleeding, I long ago figured out the culprits and cures - yes, cures. First - here's my YES list, then later, see what to avoid. My YES list: Loads of good-quality Bing cherries, and/or Juice of black cherry concentrate. NOT from toxic plastic containers, rather glass. And the more Viscous it is, the better (i.e. more sticky, slow-to-flow. Also: lots of probiotic yogurt such as Vanilla or Peach Stonyfield. Or Raspberry Lifeway-Kefir. Also: Lysine/smooth type of foods, such as Eggs, yams, yellow oils, veggies, Unsalted soda crackers, sweet/sticky fruits/melons. Also: see my tips on this "flu" site, because alot of those tips may resonate with you and help toward the bleeding issues as well. https://lysine4flu.wordpress.com/ Also: Gabapentin might help (if you can get a doctor to prescribe it). It helps to relax my nerves toward computer(EMF) use, and relieves headaches, so I suspect it can relieve bleeding. My NO list: Heavy exposure to bright lights & EMFs & WIFI & so forth. Hi sodium, citric-acid, citrus, sodium-nitrite, sodium-citrate. Some of these can be hidden inside foods at health stores as well. Spices, raw onion, raw garlic. Some of these can be hidden inside health foods. Stress/chemicals. See my common-sense examples in my above wordpress blog, re: "Arginine vs. lesser arginine". With emphasis on the last italicized paragraph. Hope this helps.

bladder problems at ovulation?
Q
Comments (11)
Ladies, I could scream I’m so excited to read this....not for us to have to go through this but just because I’ve felt so alone. I have bladder pressure and sometimes retention right around the week before I ovulate, then 2 days before I have an awful burning sensation throughout my ovaries. I also notice the bladder pressure the week before my period starts but I have normal periods and normal bleeding. The doctor said they found traces of white blood cells in my urine too. I went to an OBGYN and she said “it’s urology not my department” but she was rude. Just got home from the most amazing urologist who said logically it HAS to be Gino related because it is related to my cycle. He’s running tests on his end but told me to “find a competent gynecologist”. I just made an appointment and I’m excited that I can show this forums findings to her next Friday for proof that I’m not crazy. Has anyone found any relief when this happens or been told what is causing it? I would hope it isn’t menopause related because I’m 33 and we’re hoping to get pregnant with our 1st in October after our wedding. Girl bodies suck. Thank you ladies for sharing. You made me feel not alone in a lonely girl world. I will update with any new findings and hopefully you all can too. Feel better ladies.

multiple ovulation?
Q

Wow, wish I wanted sex at all. Hormones flucuate daily, they are so affected by food, meds,exercise,enviromental stress factors. As long as you completely trust your dr. then hang in there and follow her quidelines. Ask close friends, people in your church community. Your dental hygenist! Get other dr names and professional in case your want second opinions. One day you will need them.

Ovulating twice in a month
Q
Comments (2)
Sounds familiar. I started having periods 2-3 weeks apart a few years ago, and very bad cramps, too. I had always been regular & barely ever had cramps. I finally went in for a check up - I was fine. I'd get a check up just to rule out fibroids (?) or something, though. Three years later, now my periods are 7-8 weeks apart, I feel like I'm on constant PMS and I AM READY TO GET PAST THIS MENOPAUSE STUFF! Ahem. Hopefully you'll get through this quicker than me!

Hi, I’m 20 months post menopausal and recently had ovulation type pains along with mucus discharge followed by 10 days of period pains (cramps, headache, grouchy, etc but NO blood). Went to Gyno who sent me for a TVU. My lining was 6mm, a bit thicker than it should be. At this point I started spotting minimally a pinkish color. Doctor sent me for a biopsy of my uterus. Thankfully it came back negative! I do hope this was a once and done occurrence.

Glad all was ok Amy. I still keep getting this . My anxiety goes up with it too. My FSH was 110 when last tested think it keeps rising once post menopause. Not sure if thats the cause of these pains

I get the little cramps and twinges too years after my cycles ended. I'm going to start tracking them, see if there's a pattern. My checkups are normal. I'm not on any replacements or anything.

It’s been a long time since someone posted last so i’m hoping for a response

I am 2 years post menopause and a nervous wreck. The past 7 days I have had all pms symptoms. Cramping, vaginal discharge, tender breasts and nipples, pelvic pain. Because of this, all of a sudden no hot flashes and I am sleeping again. What the heck is going on. My annual is scheduled for the 22nd of this month and I will go for my bloodwork on the 16th. Any help in resting my mind would be so helpful. Thanks in advance.

I found a page on here last night and saw that people who have not had a period in 3 years suddenly started having them again like clockwork. It is just crazy. I hope all goes well with your exams.
