THIS IS A QUESTION FOR WOMEN!
(NOT ART RELATED!)
I been having issues with my cycle each month. 2 weeks ahead of time. I'm experiencing pain that I cannot treat with the normal over the counter recommendations.
I have seen my lady Dr., he keeps telling me its normal PMS... now I don't agree with him.
I'm allergic to birth control that might help regulate whatever. I can't take it.

My pain is making it unbearable for me to even walk around my home and do anything normal. As well the mini black outs I'm experiencing when standing up. (Even if its slow)

Any other woman on here gone through something similar. Its literally destroying my life bc every month its happening. Preventing me from enjoying shit.

There is definitely nothing wrong with seeking an opinion from a different doctor! I agree with others that this sounds a lot like endometriosis but either way dealing with extreme pain is worrying enough. Maybe ask around locally if you can for who people favor as an ob/gyn?
All of those things (to me) seem like they’re NOT normal & you should probably to go to a different doctor. The only thing I can think of that would make it stop is to get a surgery if it’s not safe for you to take any birth control stuff. If a different doctor can figure out what’s going on, there could be something less extreme than a surgery that can help you. I’m not a medical professional AT ALL so these are just guesses! I hope this helps & you feel better soon!
I haven't experienced this personally but it sounds like endometriosis so you should definitely bring that up with your doctor (or ask for a second opinion) and don't back down!
I am no expert so take this with a grain of salt, but a small percentage of women feel pain when ovulating, which is usually 2 weeks before menstruation. Maybe you're one of them? The pain isn't usually that intense though, I have it and it's normally a 4/10 on the pain scale. But it's worth bringing up with your doctor at least.
