Ovulation cramps worsened post pregnancy

Hi moms Has anyone else experience increased cramping and pain during/ after ovulation and before periods post pregnancy? I feel the mood swings are terrible between ovulation and just before periods also Basic medications like ibuprofen, advil 800 mg does not help with pain 🙈 I just cannot function or concentrate on my tasks through the day. Anyone else in the same boat. My Oby/ gyn ordered ultrasound pelvic and abdomen and it looks all fine. I am trying figure out what to do next.

Yes! Before pregnancy I never felt ovulation pain or even period cramps. However postpartum, ovulation pain feels like the contractions I had giving birth. They only last 1 maybe 2 hrs then I'm good.

YES. I just got back from my appt talking about just this. I have previously been diagnosed with PCOS & my OB is going to refer me to a pelvic floor therapist bc she says it's probably way out & needs to be worked back into place.

Yes. Cramping, ovulation, everything that has to do with periods have worsened postpartum. It’s like I only have two weeks of every month when I’m not in pain? Which is half of every month. It’s awful 😣 Hoping it gets better over time.

@Katrina exactly same 😥 How do you do pain management? What has helped you

I usually take ibuprofen but honestly it doesn’t eliminate the pain entirely. Sometimes it helps, other times it doesn’t, and I can’t figure out why. I’m a SAHM right now so luckily I can just curl up and lie down when needed. But usually I just push through the pain tbh. Not great I know, but it goes away eventually. I know if i I go to a doctor, it’ll be a waste of my time.

I don’t have terrible pain during ovulation but I definitely can tell when it’s happening which I’ve never felt before. Way More discomfort than before I was pregnant.

Yes but why tho

But at the same time I’m like ok when I wanna get pregnant I’ll know when to shoot my shot 😂
