hi I can understand your worry for further doubts consult an obstetrician and gynaecologist online
hi doctor two days before I got my periods and I started having sudden sharp stabbing pain in my right ovary these pains would slowly subside although I could always feel a small sensation in the same spot until it flare up again it seemed to be agitated by the movement I stay perfectly still most of the time and so there is no stabbing feeling I asked my mother who is a nurse to check it out she validated that the pain was ovarian and cleared me of having appendicitis over two days the pain has continued at random times but not worsened now I am on my period the blood is thick sticky and totally brown to pretty bright red with heavy bleeding I am normally a heavy bleeder during the first few days but the color and consistency are unusual I am also having my usual period symptoms such as achiness and bloating hence it is hard to pinpoint whether it is just my period or the ovarian pain I have had normal period before this one and no sexual exposure during or in between so I know I am not pregnant I am also at a very low risk for studs I am worried as the women on my mother side have a history of ovarian cancer and cysts I know I am quite young for such a thing to happen in me as I do not have any other symptoms related to other causes such as pid I do not know what else it could be I just started on birth control pills again last night otherwise I am not any oral medication except topical treatment for itchy scalp acne and eczema am I crazy in worrying what could this be please help
