No I haven't I haven't considered that
its not dangerous is it? I just feel so rubbish too its naff. What do you take for it if anything, painkillers wise I mean?
I just always tell women to seek proper advice when they say they're in 'agony' because I'm just someone from the internet with no medical expertise. It's unlikely to be dangerous but always worth highlighting to your doctor.
That said, personally I don't believe that it's normal to be in agony. I get severe ovulation pains and have been told for years (mostly by insensitive male gynecologists) that it's 'normal'/'every woman gets this'/'mild in comparison'/'get over it'. I think they're wrong and that this is more than 'normal' ovulation pain. I know my body much much better than them.
I try not to take painkillers if I can but I take some paracetamol if it gets too much or if I can't concentrate at work.
Actually, I'm turning towards alternative therapy right now. I'm getting a Mayan abdominal massage this week, as well as starting (probably tmi) vaginal steam baths. I think my pain comes from endometriosis (doctors suspect this but won't confirm it) and a misplaced uterus. Doctors won't help me at all, so here I am. Mayan abdominal massage can help here, from what I've read. It's supposed to ease pain (including emotional pain - which I have in bucket loads right now) and improve fertility. I also have lots and lots of cramping and spotting which I believe is my uterus being unable to fully rid itself of old lining; another symptom of a tipped uterus. Obviously a tipped uterus will create pain and make it difficult to conceive. I have faith in alternative medicine and feeling hopeful for the first time in this last few months.

It's not for everyone and it's not going to cure serious medical conditions. I still think being in 'agony' requires being checked medically, just in case it's an ectopic pregnancy or burst ovarian cysts.
OK, sorry for the long reply but I thought it might help! Are you still in pain or has it passed?
