LOL Yes, I totally know what you are talking about and I was JUST thinking about that a little while ago because I sneezed a few times in a row and didn't feel that ovary pain, but I am about 6 weeks pregnant so I was wondering if being pregnant and having extra padding/lining in that area was keeping me from having the pain in my ovaries when I sneezed. Ok, so that was a really long sentence but yes, I know what you're talking about and no, I don't think it has to do with PCOS. I have two friends who don't have PCOS and have said the same thing happens when they sneeze or even cough really hard (like when you have a cold or the flu). Maybe we are just "hard sneezers" and the way we tighten up our stomach muscles when we sneeze puts pressure on the ovaries. I don't think it's anything to really worry about, but if it's awful pain and you can't tolerate it then it's definitely something you should call your doctor about.

OMG curlygirlie, it is when i cough also.. you are right, i only noticed that today.. and when i blow my nose.
Congratulations on your pregnancy! Do you have PCOS also?
Did you take drugs to fall pregnant?
I have had this before a while ago and it has just returned all of a sudden, i am TTC and dont know if it is a hormone change as i am trying different things like stop seeing my Natropath and the herbal medicine is causing my hormones to change?? dont know.
As long as its not my cysts getting bigger, i dont mind!!
