When you are ovulating you are at your most fertile so definately do not have unprotected sex because you are highly likely to conceive.\n\nAs for your pains some women experience  discomfort others do not but you should go to your doctor and get checked out as your fallopians may be blocked making you susceptible to ectopic pregnancy or you may have cysts or infection which could be causing you pain.

It could be a hormonal imbalance, but it could be fine.  Sometimes, when you are really stressed out or busy or not eating/sleeping/etc well enough, your ovulation will be delayed.  So, try to think back to the time right after your last period (before this one).  If you were traveling a lot, or dealing with a lot of stressful stuff, maybe that's the reason.  I would say, just wait a few months and as long as you get back on a mostly normal schedule, don't worry about it.

Bleeding heavily during ovulation is not normal- you should talk to your doctor ASAP!  Bleeding can signal many different conditions- endometriosis, fibroids, cancer, ect- get it checked out!

You could be ovualting. You will run a fever when ovulating. If you are a male..lol This would not be the answer

It's not unusual to have changes in your menstrual cycle that are unique to your body and experoience, so it is probably idiopathic and benign.  Keep your appointment with the doctor though because it there is a problem behind it, it can be VERY serious.\n\nI hope you feel better soon.

Hope ur happy about it!\n\nOnce the menopause kicks in, you have really nasty side effects including memory loss which is the worst.\n\nSo happy ovulating!!!

Registered Nurse here; Hun sounds like you have a hormonal imbalance.  I strongly suggest you make appointment with OB/GYN and go in for evaluation.  Also don't faint, but if you have been sexually active you could be pregnant.  For many times when the female breast feeds, her menstrual cycles will stop, however ovulation doesn't and bang your pregnant.  Another reason I strongly encourage you to see the Doc.  At any rate this is not normal, and needs to be addressed, so that you can get the imbalanced resolved, prior to it becoming a big issue.  \nThanks for the opportunity to address such a sensitive question.

The other post is right you DO NOT have ovaries, only women have them. Go to a different doctor, one who specializies in Internal Medicine. There are lots of internal problems that can cause pain here's a few. \nIBS; Irriatble Bowel Syndrome\nBlocked or partially blocked intestines\nGAS\nAppendicitis\nPulled Muscles\nand so on......\nHope you feel better soon!!!!

I'm not sure about the bleeding, but the pain could be due to ovulation.  I have had painful ovulation many times.  sometimes it's so extreme that it was at one time taken for appendicitis.  I was told that sometimes an egg bursts and causes a lot of pain, right about mid-cycle.  Tell a gynecologist about it.

Wow! Let's pray this is implantation bleeding! Wait until the end of the month if the pain isn't bad, and then take a pregnancy test. You might already be a mommy!!!

Hi there,\nI am not a physician but it sure sounds like you may have a tubal infection.  You say the discomfort started after your period.  Are you positive that it was in fact that time of the month for you.  I ask because your symptoms, along with the bleeding, could be a sign of a tubal pregnancy.  In both cases you need to see a physician as soon as you can.  If it is an infection in your fallopian tubes the doctor will prescribe antibiotics to clear it up.  Of course you know what has to happen if you are pregnant in your tubes:  You'll need to have surgery for sure.  If this is the case, the sooner you see the doctor the better.  Good luck with everything.

Hi Guys, \nI just wanted to say, as an ex Clomid taker, its nasty stuff.\nI would seriously not reccomend trying to get it without seeing your doctor first, due to the fact that you must be closely monitored while on it. May women suffer from Over stimulated ovaries, and not only is this painful, but it can also damage your ovaries. This is a serious drug you are talking about, and it has a heap of side effects. Believe me, Ive been there and done it. You are supposed to go for blood tests on a particular day of your cycle, so your Ob/Gyn can establish if you have indeed ovulated, or if there is a high enough level of progesterone in your system. Its not just something you can take and magically ovulate and fall pregnant. \nIf you plan on takimg something like this, you need to see a doctor first, who will have to do a number of tests, check you insuli resitance etc.\nMay I suggest you check out The Clomid Club....just google it. Its a whole site full of dicussion boards there they talk about trying to concieve.

I have suffered from the same problems. All my reproductive organs are healthy. And yet my period is near non existant. My issue is that I am not ovulating. And you need to ovulate in order to get your period. My doctor has perscribed Clomid (a fertility drug, that makes you ovulate) in order to get  me to ovulate and then have a period. I wish you good luck in your search for answers

I am very sorry to hear you have endometriois. I was diagnosed with it when I was 16. I am now 24 and let me tell you, its not the most fun thing to deal with. Periods for me are very painful every month, I have pelvic pain also associtated with this now. The other people who answered were right, there is no cure, and you do have a timeline of if and when you can get pregnant. At 24 my timeline has passed, and I will never be able to bear my own children. Every case of endometriosis is different. You really shouldn't stress out over it. When you see your Dr. make sure to ask him/her ALL the questions you have. When I was first diagnosed they put me on birth control, pain pills, hormomones and testerone. But like I said it effects everyone differently. I wish you the best of luck and hope you get to feeling better soon. I sincerely feel for you.

So did I. I later learned that my body was not responding to the ovulation process as other girls and I needed some help to push the estrogen and progesterone.  You need to see a doctor. They can test you and make sure you don't have endometrious (bleeding outside the fallopian tubes) or any other issues. Many times they will put you on an estrogen program (BC pills) to help regulate you. More importantly, you need to make sure you are okay. It's something that can be 'fixed' but you need to educate yourself and get some professional advice and support.  There are too many things that 'yahoo community friends' can tell you and you still won't know.

I have extemely bad pain on both my ovaries, if its right after your period then you are just probably ovulating, if its before during and after tou might have ovarion systs. I have them and my doctor put me on birth control to reduce the systs. It helps alot. You should go to the gyno, the only thing that you prepare yourself for is when he is examing you and they do a papsmear, you might get a bad cramp like a period cramp it lasts only 2 seconds i wouldnt lie i am the biggest wimp when it comes to pain. You will be fine. If your on long island you should see Dr. John Vullo in West Islip he is great one of the top gyno's. Thats who i see.

I was in pain for months following my c-section. It had nothing to do with the c-section itself. My hormones made it so that I was unable to produce any lubrication. This made me and my husband uncomfortable. He thought that he didn't make me satisfied anymore. We discussed this with my doctor, and she said that until your hormones come into order again, you may need to use a personal lubricant. We used KY for several months, and I got pregnant again 6 months after the first was born. After she was born. Yep pain again. Waited another 8 months, and now I'm back in action pain free. Some don't experience this, and some not as long. Maybe your doctor could be more help than mine. I know it hurts, and sometimes emotionally as well. If it doesn't subside, see your doctor (OBGYN). They should be able to help you. Congratulations!!
