What I think it is, is hormonal. but they refuse to look into it. The reason I think this, is I have had this pain for years and year but it used to just be once a month or so so I could deal with it then. During both my pregnancies, it went away completely. And after giving birth to my son, it has been constant pain. So..the only thing that makes sense to me is its something to do with hormones. But no, they know best and refuse to even test. Why they think they know best when they have failed to find the source so far, I don't know.

If that was the case wouldn't the answer be to just go on the full dose pill?

I have tried checking the hormonal stuff myself. I have been on both the pill, the mini pill, the injection and currently the implant. None of which has made any difference. Still think its hormonal in some way though, with it disappearing totally during pregnancy, and then going as bad as it is now right after giving birth

That is so odd, was it deffo the full pill they gave you? I would've thought with the way it worked kidding the bod it's preggers that would solve it. What was the vit E suggested for?

I think it was, was just told it was the pill, then the minipill :S They don't know I am trying to find the source myself, I just keep telling them that I have reactions and stuff or don't trust the method any longer, and ask for the next one

Vitamin E was suggested as in my bloods it showed as severely aneamic and deficient in some vitamin, think it was E. They apparently had to order in the inection for that from germany, not sure on the reasons for that

The mini pill works a different way, what were you on? Try get on yasmin if you can it's more expensive so they are more reluctant to prescribe it but it's good, if you're overweight or have high blood pressure they wont let you have it though.

Are you sure it wasn't A?
Have to go to work and on nights for a couple of days so if I don't answer not being rude, chat soon x

It might have been A. Whatever it was had to be ordered in as apparently we don't stock it here

I am a bit overweight. Not massively so though.

Also sorry for hijacking your thread

That's really odd about it going away during pregnancies Vicky, would hormones cause chest pains though? They really should investigate that angle though, like try and find something that changed during pregnancy that could have stopped the pain

No idea. Its not chest pains as such, its a stabbing pain in the side of my ribs. Have more problems now after botched surgeries and such, but the original pain was a pain in the right side, like right down the side of the ribcage, sometimes going into my stomach area.

sounds awful though, I can't believe they're not doing more to try and figure it out
