Rectal pain ovulation

[Lisabr]

Hey I can feel my ovulation every month but i also experience rectal shooting pain for a few minutes beside that I don’t have other concerning symptoms I don’t experience menstrual cramps or anything
Is this something to worry about? Does it affect fertility and who has the same experience?

Ooh Ouch! Yes I used to get this! Like sitting on a poker. I think it's quite common. I often had period pains there too- always put it down to the fact I have a tilted womb.

Javelin arse! Harmless but incredibly painful.

Javelin arse is a right pain in the bum.

I used to get this awful but after having dd2 it seems to have stopped. I mentioned it to a gp once and they seemed very un concerned about it. X

Javelin arse!

Yep I used to get this during ovulation, has also stopped for me since having my DS

@Alwayswonderedwhy , I wouldn't say it's necessarily harmless. Possible causes include rectovaginal nodules of endometriosis, or scar tissue from endometriosis that has fused the rectum and ovaries together.

OP, probably not if you have no other history of any other gynaecological problems at all. But bear it in mind, if any other problems start.

Omg I used to get this all the time with my period! Less so since childbirth. Such an intense pain. It literally stops me dead in my tracks until it's subsided.
