Please tell me I’m not going mad.. I’ve have to periods since giving birth I’m now 11 weeks pp and I think I have ovulation pain, it was that bad to the point it woke me up in the night! Seems to be on my left side and lower back..
My periods have been so heavy and painful and now I’m having this, Is this normal?
I have health anxiety and I overthink everything🥲🙃

Have the opposite problem - that was my life before pregnancy and now I can’t feel my ovulation or my periods and it freaks me out 😩 postpartum changes you so give it time

At least for me, it took awhile to get back to a new normal after giving birth (I’m three years postpartum now). I also have a copper IUD so that makes cramps worse and flows heavier, especially so I. The beginning. I first ovulated exactly two weeks after giving birth (while breastfeeding) and that was absolutely EXCRUCIATING. I remember being home alone laying down looking at my son in his bassinet and thinking about how I literally couldn’t move it was so painful.
Idk if this is typical, but I feel you girl. The first few ovulations and periods were ROUGH.

It’s soooooo bad but we are TTC so it’s also sorta nice haha. I know I’ve got good timing. But yes so much more painful now.
