Hello everybody,

I'm a healthy 24 year old female. I've never been pregnant, nor do I want to. Since I was about 15 or 16, every couple of months I get severe pain the day before or first day of my period. I'm not talking about the usual cramps, bloating, or back pain. I mean serious nausea, vomiting, cold sweats, and dizziness. It feels like I'm gonna faint. I can't keep anything down. Nothing. Not aspirin, tea, water, crackers...I literally mean nothing! This usually lasts from 24-36 hours. These symptoms usually hit with a dead force, with no warning signs. Within the first half hour, I loose all color in my face. Is this normal? One doctor did an ultrasound and everything came out fine. She originally wanted to do a pelvic exam, but because it was my first time, it didn't exactly work--which is why she just had the ultrasound done. (not that that was more comfortable) Should I talk to another doctor? Or consider taking birth control pills? Thanks in advance for any and all advice!
