Hmmm. I'm not sure - the pimples sound like a skin allergy to me. I use Organic Essentials natural pads - no gels or plastics or nylon, etc. I'd try switching to a more natural pad.
very strange pelvic pain, TMI
I have always had (I can't remember not having it) this weird pain that I get during AF. It's right between the leg and the pelvis, on the front. on both sides, sometimes one side only. and it's almost like a bruised feeling. and the more I touch it the more it hurts (I can't help it, I'm curious as to where this pain comes from) anyone? I have not asked my midwife, but next time, for my yearly, I will probably ask them. ALSO, every time I get my period, and I use pads, I get almost like pimples (inside) only when I use pads, what could that mean? that I'm allergic to all that gel stuff? I get tons of these pimples and they grow and itch and then pop after a while, and then I don't have them until I get my period again and use pads again.
Any thoughts? It's less embarrasing to as you guys than to ask my mw.
thanks!

I've had a similar feeling when I'm ovulating and sometimes during my period.
I had a miscarriage 2 years ago and had to have a d&c. Before my first period after that I had excruciating pain in my abdomen and we ended up going to the ER because I was in so much pain. They couldn't find any cause for it. I had a small cyst on one ovary, but it wasn't the problem. Dh was even more worried because we weren't sure if it was my appendix (I still have mine), and I was screaming & whimpering during the ultrasound they did to see what was going on in there. After a few more (almost as un-fun) periods I figured it was ovulation.
After having ds my periods were almost as excruciating (think a bottle of advil every two months). Then I switched to the diva cup and cloth pads, and hardly have any pain (anywhere) anymore. Plus I don't have to run to the store to stock up on tampons/pads anymore, it rocks!

Abdominal pain is often displaced, felt somewhere other than where the problem is. It is a very common sign of endo. Cyclical pain of any sort is NOT normal!! Pain is your body's way of saying something is wrong.
If your doctor doesn't take the pain seriously, you should take your healthcare into your own hands and find a doc who cares. If you suspect endo, for any reason, don't settle for just any old ob/gyn, go find a doc who specializes in successfully treating that particular disorder. You wouldn't go to a dentist for brain surgery, would you?
here are some really good links to more info about endometriosis.
