I have been experiencing mittelschmerz
each cycle since I got off the pill 6
months ago (since my husband and I are
ttc, this is good because I know when i'm
ovulating). I did not experience this
prior to going on the pill 4 years prior.
After describing my symptoms of
mid-ovulatory pain, my doctor told me that
mittelschmerz were common (20% of women
have these). However, I experience this
pain for about 5 days on or around my
ovulation date (i've been charting).
What could be causing such prolonged
symptoms? The pain is usually never
severe, but it has lasted anywhere from
3-5 days each cycle. Is it possible that
I am ovulating more than once within the
cycle and therefore experiencing prolonged
pain?
Also, now that i'm off the pill, I
experience cramping (menstrual cramps) the
3 or 4 days prior to starting. Before I
went on the pill four years ago, I only
experienced cramps on the day I started.
Does anyone have any feedback on why all
of these pre-pill and post-pill changes
have occured or any explanation for the
prolonged mittelschmerz?
I am healthy, 125 lbs, 5'7" tall, and 30
years old; I have not have any fluctuation
of weight post pill.
