Hi, I know this thread is a couple of years old but just wanted to say I’ve searched the internet so long to find out any information that could explain the intense symptoms I get every month. So I’m so grateful to hear your experiences. My pains/cramps start pretty much 2 days after ovulation and radiate around my pelvis and lower back. They wake me up several times in the night and are worse when I’m hungry. I also get a lot of stomach gas and suffer from migraines just after ovulation and just before my period. I’ve noticed my cramps change around 8 days after ovulation - they become duller and more like period pains. Nonetheless, I’m in pain for pretty much two weeks out of every month and it’s depressing.
I have also been trying to conceive, without luck for a long time now. I wonder if my symptoms are preventing me from having a successful pregnancy. Has anyone else managed to conceive with such pains? And, if so, did you have the same pains in your successful cycle?
