Luteal phase intense cramping pain

Hello all,

I’m grateful for this thread as it helps to not feel alone with these symptoms. I’m so sorry for everyone who is experiencing ongoing pain with no answers.

A small update from me, which might help someone… I was referred to a vascular surgeon and investigated for pelvic congestion syndrome, which simply put is varicose veins in the abdomen. It was found to have large, ballooned veins which have now been treated. I was told this is common (especially in women who have experienced pregnancy) and a significant contributor to pelvic pain. I encourage everyone to investigate this path.
Unfortunately my pelvic congestion syndrome isn’t the main contributing cause to my pain, but it’s still hopefully to eliminate an issue and continue the search.

Hello,

I had twins and then when I got pregnant with another singleton baby, the ultrasound technician told me that I had varicose veins from the previous pregnancy.
I experience dull inflammation type aches in my pelvis around when ovulation happens. I think it's from the rise estrogen.
I have had an ultrasound of my pelvis but no abnormalities were found.
I'm not sure what is causing the pain but I only have ever experienced it since having hormonal health issues.
