He thinks that I am one of the "lucky" few who can really feel ovulation. He said it can be a blessing and a curse, but the only way to keep from feeling that pain once a month would be to go back on bc, but since we're TTC that's not exactly an option. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-pain-1#post-1275242 Thu, 12 Dec 2013 00:34:37 +0000 owlteach 1275242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck, I hope your dr's will be able to find a way to help you feel better. I had 2 dermoid cysts removed about 3 years ago, and I was amazed at how much better I felt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-pain-1#post-1274869 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 19:58:08 +0000 mrskoloa 1274869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It definitely feels like a real issue. If self-diagnosing is a thing, then I am diagnosing myself with "thin" PCOS. I think this because </p> <p>my cycles are usually around 35 days, </p> <p>in August I tested positive for pregnancy and the ultrasound showed cysts on my ovaries (lost the pregnancy three days later... the whole reason I got tested was because we had sex the night before and I felt that ovulation pain... the next morning I was in extreme pain after FMU so I went to the ER and had the urine test as a standard thing... positive urine and blood for pregnancy, then period three days later),</p> <p>and painful sex during ovulation (maybe cysts bursting? who knows).</p> <p>The reason I think it's the thin version is because I am physically thin (5'3", 105lbs) but I have had some chest and back breakouts since getting off of the pill in June. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-pain-1#post-1274860 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 19:53:30 +0000 septca 1274860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskoloa: that's a real issue. See the gyn, tell them everything... Then let us know what they say. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-pain-1#post-1274816 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 19:28:21 +0000 mrskoloa 1274816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess the only issue is that it is only too painful to bear during sex RIGHT WHEN I think I am ovulating. So the night my opk gives me the smiley. This is why I can't tell if this is a real issue or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-pain-1#post-1274813 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 19:25:55 +0000 mrs. 64 1274813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go with the gynecologist over the pcp. They are used to dealing with those types of issues. Good luck getting some answers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-pain-1#post-1274678 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 18:00:32 +0000 mrskoloa 1274678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am wondering if it is endometriosis or maybe even PCOS. I tried to schedule with a doctor today, but the soonest I could get was tomorrow with my pcp and Friday with a doctor who specializes in gynocology. I am wondering if the gynocological doctor would be the appt where I would receive more immediate answers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-pain-1#post-1273943 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 13:10:14 +0000 Sunshine1810 1273943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have ovulation pain as well, but it doesn't necessarily hurt more during sex. I agree with others, call your doctor and have it checked out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-pain-1#post-1273765 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 12:13:36 +0000 singingbee 1273765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have ovulation pain and can feel when I'm ovulating, but it doesn't hurt when we are having sex. I would get it checked out. Better safe than sorry or uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-pain-1#post-1273764 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 12:12:58 +0000 pui 1273764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you should speak to a doctor. Pain during sex (especially "unbearable" pain) is not normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-pain-1#post-1273752 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 12:08:01 +0000 kodybear 1273752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i agree with @septca. i don't have experience with endo, but i know having sex can make the endo pain worse. i did have a hemorraghic cyst that would be painful at the same time every cycle, usually around ovulation. but it was more of an ache and didn't get worse with sex. when i have ovulation pain, usually its more like a cramp (like the running kind), and it usually only lasts for maybe an hour tops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-pain-1#post-1273744 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 12:06:09 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1273744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree, you should definitely talk to your doctor about it, it could be a cyst. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-pain-1#post-1273728 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 11:59:48 +0000 Mamaof2 1273728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Orgasm while I am ovulating can be painful for me but I also have very strong ovulation pains that require motrin! Seriously, they are worse than my period cramps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-pain-1#post-1273724 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 11:58:33 +0000 septca 1273724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. It sounds like you may have a cyst or endometriosis on your right side. Each month, both ovaries produce follicles, which causes both ovaries to swell. Which side produces the egg each month should alternate, so the fact that you are feeling the pain on the same side each month makes me think you have some sort of growth on that side that is causing you pain when your right ovary swells.</p> <p>I have endometriosis that is mostly growing in and around my right ovary and tube. Before I had it removed, I experienced excruciating pain around O and during BD on that side. </p> <p>I would definitely see your doctor - they will likely do an u/s to see if you have a cyst or fibroids on that side, and may ask you some questions to see if you have risk factors for/symptoms of endo (family history, heavy periods, painful periods, etc.). Unfortunately, endo can only be diagnosed with surgery - it won't show up on an u/s. Not to scare you, but I ignored my pain for a really long time while TTC - turns out that both of my tubes were blocked and I needed to have surgery to remove the endo and clear one of my tubes (the other is shot) before we conceived. I wish I had listened to my body earlier - it would have made TTC shorter and I wouldn't have had to go through so much pain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-pain-1#post-1273691 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 11:46:36 +0000 MCD919 1273691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would think it's not normal, but ask your doc? When I've felt ovulation pain, it's like a very subtle one-sided ache. I don't notice any worsening pain with sex. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-pain-1#post-1273681 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 11:45:00 +0000 mrskoloa 1273681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone else experience this?</p> <p>I feel ovulation pain every month in the area of my right ovary... and when having sex (around the time I am ovulating) the pain becomes almost unbearable. Every time the penis goes in, it feels like someone is punching my ovary.</p> <p>Is this normal? </p>
