Recurrent period-like cramps 6m PP but no period and EBF

Hello

Am hoping I can get some advice..

Had DD six months ago (had an epi and a ventouse delivery after a hellish labour). Since then I've been EBF, and we started on solids a few weeks ago. I haven't had a period since giving birth and no real signs of any developing (no discharge/bloating etc). My mum EBF me and my three sisters and didn't get a period until about 9m PP so I'm not really expecting anything for another few months.

Today though I've developed pains which I've had twice previously (after 3 weeks ago and then about 3/4 weeks before that). It's over my right hip: an internal pain just like a period cramp (but it doesn't spread too far - doesn't move beyond the middle of my back and doesn't come around the front). Paracetamol sort of helps (as does a hot water bottle) but it makes me feel really sick/nauseous - it's horrible. Normally lasts a day or two.

I'm thinking it's my body trying to ovulate but it's the same side of my body each time, and it's clearly not succeeding since I haven't had a period.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Any ideas? I
