Appendix pain on period

Hi there, this might sound a bit odd but I’ve been getting severe appendix pain on the first and second day of my period for almost a year now, coupled with bad pain in my lower back. I’ve had intermittent, short-lasting pain in that area for several years. I can’t find that much on the internet in relation to this, but surely I would 100% know by now if it was acute appendicitis? Just wondering if any girls on here had experienced anything like this :smile: Tysm x

Ovulation can cause some mid-cycle pain but any unexplained pain is usually the warning bells for some irritation going on somewhere. Best try and get a consult with your GP and explain the circumstances. You might just be able to get a scan to rule out anything obvious. Lots of things can create the annoying pain so it's worth getting that professional advice sooner than later. Just do it.
