do i have PID?

[cescak1]

I started getting what the doctor said to be ovulation pains 3|4 months ago. At the time the pain was pretty severe and I could barely walk. Now I've been getting the same kind of pain around O but not as severe the pain last past O to the time of my period. I'm 18 and I've been TTC  for a year now with no luck. This month I started getting cramps after sex  and for the past few weeks I've  been eating like crazy, bloated, gassy, have sore nipples, headaches, tiredness and I'm  in constant pain. I get uterus pains when I laugh or cough. I also have pelvic pain on d left side. I have regular periods and normal discharge. Please help!!!

PID (pelvic inflammatory disease) can lead to death.  As in DEAD!  You need to see a doctor if you think that is going on but from your description, it doesn't sound like it to me.  yes, PID can affect fertility.  see a doctor. good luck

Hi there and welcome.  Have you been checked for any ovarian cysts?  Your symptoms match that diagnosis although you need a doctor to confirm.  Women often get simple cysts and I myself have had one.  They usually pass on their own depending on their size.  I would go back to the doctor and ask to be checked for this.  And if not a cyst, what is causing the symptoms.  In answering your question, no, it doesn't really sound like PID to me.  PID is an infection and very serious.  It doesn't get worse around your period and you'd most likely have a fever as your body fought against it.  But clearly something is going on that you need to be evaluated for. So, please see your doctor.  good luck
