ok in a nutshell, my periods were never normal to begin with. once a year maybe. then on a freak period, i got pregnant with my son who is now three. after giving birth to him my periods came like clockwork. then i go tpregnant with my daughter who is now six months old. i've had a few very odd periods since her birth. i had cramps for a month and last friday got my period. a normal period and lasted untill yesterday. i've had bad cramps the whole time. and i'm use to cramps with periods but never after my period. it feels like my ovaries are aching. i even fell asleep in the car theother day and woke up because it felt like someone stabbed my right ovary. i've been feeling like this for a month prior to my period and now a few days after. anyone experience this?

i have stabbing pains in my right ovary from cysts and you certainly know about it as it can be relentless. Ask for a scan of your ovaries as it might show some cysts in which case you can get some yummy painkillers!!let us know how you get on xxx

you are not alone. i get this on and off a lot. It is the cysts. and at different parts of your cycle, things get enlarged- the ovaries themselves and our cysts make it way more uncomfortable. unfortunately i think we all have this. as long as you arent TTC pop some meds. if so, try a heating pad on your back.

The stabbing pain is the cysts enlarging, leaning on a nerve sometimes, and also sometimes right before they burst.

My suggestion is Get yourslef to Your Doctor...I posted my experince with an ovarian cyst I was not even told about.
I have gone through menapause, so my symptoms were a bit different than all of yours.
Take care of yourselves

I also get the stabbing pains. As a matter of fact, the past few days I've been feeling them pretty heavy. In my case, the DR put me on BC to stop the bleeding from an extended period. As of today, my flow lightened to almost nothing, but really feal alot of sharp pains in my ovaries. I was told from the DR that this has alot to do with the follicles bursting. From my understanding this is the norm with PCOS.

Yep, I get that from time to time as well. One of the things that got me admitted to the hospital in July. Also had bloating. I have 10 day to 14 day long periods anymore. By the 7th day the pain is horrible and I have to stay in bed.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
