bethben Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Anyone else feel like they're getting the flu when they ovulate? Right now, I've got a decent headache and feel nauseous. Every month it is the same. For a few months, I thought I was getting the flu until I realized that it was happening every month when I ovulate. It's been going on for about a year. I'm 42 if that matters. What is the cause? Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susancollins Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I have endometriosis stage 4 and it might have something to do with that, but every month when I am ovulating I feel sick to my stomach. I am also very crampy and get headaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2bdeutmeyer Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I'm guessing it's hormones?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessReplanted Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I don't feel flu-ish, but I do have severe pain. It's miserable. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethben Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 I'm guessing it's hormones also, but what does one do about it? Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianmomtofour Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Yep, every month I feel queasy and crampy at that time. I hate it. I will also continue to feel queasy until my period starts. So basically I feel gross for half my cycle. So fun to be female......:glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenC3 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Yep, i did feel queasy crampy, mittlesmerschrz pain, etc. Fatigued, but not flu. It usually only lasted a day though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halcyon Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I had that, but much worse. Vomiting, severe stomach pain, the works that lasted for at least 10 days. Doc put me on continual birth control and I am a new woman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zookeeperof3 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I have menstrual migraines. Started having them at 35. When I ovulate, I have horrible nausea, headache, sensitivity to light and sound. The sensitivity to light and sound is what tips the balance to being a migraine.I take prescription meds for the nausea and migraine. Hope you find something that gives you some relief.

Mom-ninja. Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I don't feel flu-ish, but I do have severe pain. It's miserable. :( This. I have more pain with ovulation than when I actually start my period which is also not a cake walk. I also get really bloated and get bad headaches. I had that, but much worse. Vomiting, severe stomach pain, the works that lasted for at least 10 days. Doc put me on continual birth control and I am a new woman. I'm considering the Mirena for this reason.

Parrothead Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I had a couple years like that. It eventually went away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
