Yeh I have a phobia of pills getting stuck in my throat and me choking. But The Pill is so small I am comfortable with it.

I swallowed 4 proper capsule things today Im so proud :D
yeah i have that phobia too.. and i was reluctant to take the pill because of it but once i had one and realised how much easier it went down than the others when ive tried im fine with it.

Mittelschmerz -
(About 20% of women experience mittelschmerz)

"Mittelschmerz is a German word which translated literally means "middle pain." Other words you may hear include: ovulation pain, midcycle pain, menstrual, middle pain, or cramps.

Ovulation usually occurs about two weeks after the first day of your last period. Mittelschmerz occurs during ovulation when an egg is released by the ovaries into the fallopian tube. For about twenty percent of women this causes severe pain and cramps on one side of the lower abdomen. Although the pain may feel like something serious is wrong, midcycle pain or cramps -- Mittelschmerz is rarely serious. "

The pain may occur just before, during, or after ovulation.

However the symptoms you describe:
- Period pain (common)
- Vomitting blood (requires emergency care)

Obviously though, experiencing these symptoms you wouldn't want to ask for help on an online forum but rather seek a professional.

I have been thinking that I would like to go on the pill for period pain and acne etc (not contraception though... there is a better method - it is called keep your legs closed) recently, and when my mum was on the pill, she lost weight, but as she (and others) have said, it is different with each female.

If I could be assured that my boobs wouldn't get any bigger (they are a D at the moment, and very annoying) and I wouldn't put on weight, and I would get nausea, I would go on it in an instant...

Oh well... Such is life...

My girlfriend is on the Pill, and we do not use any other contraception methods. She doesn't suffer any adverse side-effects at all thankfully. Those things go down so easily, she doesn't even have them with water!

Its not pain between period, its just the pain i get on the first day of my period as I get every single time. Just this one occasion last year the pain was so intense that I had to be sick and I vomitted up a bit of blood. It hasent happened since, i'm just curious
Sorry its actually still correct the info was a bit misleading.

"The pain may occur just before, during, or after ovulation"

That happened on law and order, this chick was heaps messed up and believed that she was pregnant with her father's baby, but when the doctors checker her out down there, they discovered she was actually a vigin. She was lactating and stuff, really creepy.

vomiting blood is bad.
i think it means you have internel bleeding, or something, and you should get it checked out.
