Start of a new cycle...38

I haven't posted in quite a while. I have been busy with a move and some family stuff and haven't had time or felt up to posting.

AF started last night. This is the worst cycle I have had since I was a teenager. It is very heavy and very painful. I am actually starting to become worried that I may have endometriosis. I had thought about it in the past because I have an Aunt that has it really bad but my cycles have not been painful or heavy since I was a teenager so I didn't worry too much about it. But this last cycle and the one before I had ovary pain a few days before AF arrived. I had thought that maybe it was a digestive issue since I have IBS and I had never had pain like that before a cycle but I had it again this cycle. Add into that the strangeness with this last cycle around ovulation and I start to worry.

Cycle 37 I had brown spotting all day, a heavy full feeling in my uterus and felt like my period was getting ready to start all day on CD 12.  I ended up ovulating on CD15 which was the earliest ever. I had thought maybe that was a good sign but it ended up not mattering after all.

I am still having pain all across my abdomen from ovary to ovary which has never happened before. I am going to start taking Pycnogenol soon. The research on it seems pretty great so I figure it is worth a try. I also restarted Evening Primrose Oil last cycle.
