Can anyone tell me why there is such thing is ovulation pains? I've had about 4 cycles since Kryssi was born and with every one of them I have been bloated, crampy, and generally sore in that region at ovulation time. I don't think I've ever had Ov pains before  ; this is what I would have expected at AF time usually, but the weird thing is that my periods aren't really hurting, only Ov?!? Any ideas?-------------  |

I'm just wondering if it has anything to do with what you mum has (another post you did). I would probably have a chat to your dr about it. I know that when I Ov I can so feel it and sometime I have even been lucky enough to feel them pop - not nice ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

I've never had OV pain - and my AF is fairly short & light even now that I've got Gina. I've never had any WH issues (fingers crossed). Maybe mention this to your GP? ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Teresa I wouldnt get too worried until you have gone to discuss your concerns with your Dr. So far it just sounds like normal ov pains (sorry havent read past post about your mum) that have just either just started or gotten worse since having Kryssi. Like others have said they have had Ov pains come on after having bubs too. Once spoken to the Dr you will have a better idea of whats going on or he may send you for more investigate to see whats the haps. Until then I wouldnt stress too much girl. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

The one good thing I found with them is at least I knew when I was ovulating. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Sooo.... if I went to the doc about it (which is looking more and more likely), what would I expect and will I be sent for scans that are gonna seriously put me out of pocket? And/or will I get told to come back if it's still hurting next month? ------------- |

I never got O pain before Olivia, I do get it now though. I did point this out to my Dr (who has had 4 kids of her own) and she told me that it is completely normal to be more sensitive down below after birth. I never had regular AF's or knew when I was O'ing at all and now I get much clearer signals.
I think that if you are genuinely worried about the amount of discomfort that you are in then a visit to the Dr is definitely in order. All the best honey. ------------- DD1 May 2006 DD2 March 2011 DD3 August 2012 |

*bump*
I've decided that I'm going to the doc at the next ovulation time. In August the Ov pains lasted a week, gradually accelerating cramps/pain over those days until on O day we BD and something hurt really suddenly and I yelled and clutched my abdo (really spoilt the mood lol!) but then was fine afterwards. In September and October, I've had the same thing. Cramps building up over 5 days (both months), then really horrible pain (the panadol level) on O day, and nothing on the next day again. Fortunately no popping or stabbing or whatever happened in August, but whatever it is has certainly not gone away. 
So what do I need to watch for the next 3 weeks before I see the Doc? What's he going to ask me? I've been checking out http://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/bhcv2/bhcarticles.nsf/pages/Ovulation_pain?Open - Ov pains and http://www.endo-resolved.com/symptoms.html - endo symptoms and what I've got is: * 5+ days of pre-O cramps/pain in every month since June (when my AF came back after Kryssi) * c/s scar * bloating during those days and just before AF * When I have pre-O cramps, if my bladder gets full it puts pressure on something in there which is really uncomfy (doesn't happen any other time) * Bowel motions seem fairly normal, just a little soft when I have cramps but nothing major (they have always been like that around AF time, so I guess it's just normal) * Only happens at those two times of month, mostly at pre-O (my AF is nothing to panadol about) * It won't be ectopic cause it's been for so long and my weight and size is stable (actually I just lost 2kg this month WOOHOO!) * I don't really feel pain/soreness on one side or the other during pre-O cramps. Just the whole lot is. But sometimes I'll feel the right side a little for the next couple of days (only sore, not painful) * I don't have pain with intercourse except if in the 48 hours up to O day. TMI coming up... Usually the intercourse itself is fine but anything manual rubs against something that hurts. * Periods are regular, and not heavy * No fatigue to speak of * No painful peeing * No lower back pain * No nausea/vomitting I'm going to aim to see the Doctor in the 48 hours pre-O in November. So have one more AF to pass in that time. Is there anything I need to look out for in particular? (I always get a curly question from the doctor and think, ummm I actually hadn't noticed! lol) Thanks all - if you're not asleep yet  - I'm particularly interested in feedback from those of you who have had ovarian cysts/endo/etc. ------------- |

Hey I had just put a post under strange pain in the c/s section. As I have been having some of what you are descibing but only since the birth, and was wondering if it was ov pain, never had it before. -------------

It probably wouldn't be a bad idea getting it all checked out with a scan. If you do find out it is endo, cysts at least you will have an answer. But you don't always get an answer with a scan - there was nothing seen on the scans I had but I was riddled with endo and my gyne saw the cysts with his own eyes. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |
