why was there period on my supposed ovulation day

Hi everyone. I am a 26 yr old married mother of a 2 yr old boy. I had a complication of delayed placental during childbirth. the midwife had to insert her arm inside my womb trying to detach the placental. I guessed that caused some wound and infection that was responsible for irregular bleeding after postpartum blood has stopped. by the time the cycle became regular after 4 months, a started having chronic pain during periods. then it got worse every month including serious pain when urinating, using toilet or passing gas. painful that i would start crying literally. Then i seeked medical attention, after series of test and scans, obgyn treated me of uterine infection, placed me on hormonal drugs for three months, gave me pain med to be used when I have painful period, some other med to reduce the quantity of the flow. After 3 months, the pain reduces just a bit that i can't do without the pain med. if i run out of it, I would have to endure pains that affect my work and everyday activity up until even a day after the period ended. this told me the problem is still there, i was only treating symptoms. she told me research ADENOMYOSIS, she didn't diagnose me of it just wanted me to get informed. i've been managing the pain with the pain med since.
about a month ago, I just went to pee at work and i saw blood. I was already stained i didn't even know. this bleeding lasted 5 days WITHOUT any pain or pain med. It felt like nothing.
THE PROBLEM IS THIS PAINLESS PERIOD STARTED IN THE MIDDLE OF MY NORMAL CYCLE, PRECISELY THE DAY I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE OVULATING. It was strange so I went back to the doc. She just gave me another hormonal pill to block my ovulation, should be taken for another 3 months. I am scared right because I'M NOT SURE SHE IS BEING THOROUGH IN INVESTIGATING WHAT THE PROBLEM IS (STILL NO DIAGNOSIS). Now i didn't see my period on the normal day according to my previous cycle and I'm also 3 days late if I want to consider the a new cycle due to the "abnormal bleeding during ovulation". PLEASE HELP ME MAKE SENSE OF IT. My husband believes I'm making big deal out of nothing when I suggested seeing another doctor.

I can completely understand why you are feeling the way you are and what you are going through.

My first thought after reading what you have wrote is that you really need to get a referral to an Endometriosis specialist.

Were you on the pill for a long time as a teenager by chance? Coming off then got pregnant? Pain got worse after pregnancy?

Endometriosis will not be seen on a scan but what you are describing sounds like endo and possible adeno or both. The reason I think Endo is because of the urinary and bowel pain. If you are taking these hormone pills all they do is try to regulate the period and help with the pain. If you are not taking them continuously without the sugar pills that could by why you are having breakthrough bleeding or it could be breakthrough bleeding in general from the pill. A lot of the time before someone is diagnose with endo and are given the pill or another form of hormone meds it doesn't help because the disease has not be removed.

You are not making a big deal about this. What you are experiencing is what thousands of women feel and you are not alone.

If you are interested please look through my profile and I have some journal entrys there that you can read through and see if anything stands out to you.

I can help you find an endo specialist if need be just let me know where abouts you are and I will give you some names of some tops surgeons.
