Question for the women:

I have noticed over the past couple months that my MS gets worse after I ovulate and until I get my period. And not just a little worse.. it's the difference between probably being ok to go back to work from the first day of my period to ovulation, to NOT being able to work from ovulation to my period. That last phase (luteal phase) of my cycle is just brutal... I've read about it and they hypothesize it being due to the rise in the basal body temperature which would make sense to me, since I'm very heat sensitive.

So now there HAS to be something I can do about this. Has anyone experienced this and done anything about it? I'm going to ask my dr and my MS nurse if they think going on birth control would help... maybe even Mirena or something. It would sure be nice to not have that ovulation shift that sends me for a loop. However I know if you take your temperature while on the pill it's quite erratic so I'm not sure that BC is even the solution.
