Can someone shed some common sense on something for me.
I thought I had ovulation pains a couple of days ago. But I still have the aching low down & on the left side, in the ovary it feels like. Its definitely a cross between period pain & ovulation pain. But I know I wouldn't have the pain constant & for this long if its ovulation. When I wake its barely there but gets worse as day goes on.
I haven't had a smear test for 3 yrs & now its crossing my mind something bad could be happening.
BUT if it was something bad, surely I wouldn't just have pain, I would bleed between periods etc? My periods are still normal, every 23-25 days & last 3 days max. I'm 39.
Would an ovary cyst have period like ache as well as an ache in the ovary?
I dont want to go for a smear until this ache has gone, it wont be very comfortable.
I'm pretty sure ive had this before over the years, always the left ovary too. If it was something nasty, I would know it by now wouldn't I???
What do you think?
