LETCH - Tue Jan 09, 2007 1:27 pm

I am a 38 year old, 2 children. Minimal past gyne issues until September when I had mid month severe blled lasting 2 days. MD said I had Little progesterone released causing my uterine lining to give upon ovulation. Was fine for a month. Now very painful periods, right sided pelvic/Abdominal pain ofter, during ovulation it is worse. I have developed right hip pain and now it is almost like sciatic pain down r leg, also in right thigh. Could these things be related? Thanks for any info. Only med I am on is Propafenone for benign v-tach. Thanks so much.
