Is this just the new "normal" for my cycle?
Doctors keep saying I'm fine, am I crazy? Should I ask for a biopsy and a ca125 test? No previous or current pregnancy, STD's, STIs, cancer, fungal or bacterial infections, or surgery. Unknown family history. Started my period at 8 or 9. Pelvic exam was fine, no biopsy done. Nexplanon, 200mg Lamotragine XR, 30mg Adderall XR.
The last nine months my symptoms have varied. I've always had irregular and painful periods but my periods were different than usual. I assumed it was Nexplanon at first but I had it for the 3 years before and had no problems and have had it for 11 months now. My period skipped a few months and then it came back heavy and painful for 2-3 weeks out of the month, skipped a few months again.
My pain started in my left Fallopian tube and eventually went to my ovary. I was only comfortable laying on my stomach. Pressure helped but doesn't anymore. Extremely nauseous, vomiting, dizziness, light headedness, weak muscles, and fainting a few times.
I then had a low grade fever for a few weeks before I started my period, it was light and short. Then I had severe cramping, migraines, pain behind my right eye, right shoulder, neck. I can no longer use tampons because it hurts. I feel dull but not bad pain in my right ovary. Cervical pain started, badly when I spotted dark brown-black for 17 days. The cervical pain felt like it was being ripped apart. Only one small clot. The pain makes it so I have to stop when I walk until it goes away. It sometimes causes pins and needle pain or numbness in my left buttocks and leg. Extreme bloating and difficulty fully emptying my bladder. Dry eyes.
Mentronidiazle didn't work. Transvaginal ultra sound was normal. I understand only so much can be done but I know something isn't right. I'm getting tired of being told to come back if it continues and having nothing done. Should I continue to try and get help or is this just what my cycle is going to be like from now on?
