Back pain and nausea before and during ovulation

[pinkcloudd]

I'm in my late 20s and have regular cycles and no chance of pregnancy. For the past few months, I've been feeling really unwell and there seems to be a pattern of it happening around ovulation. I get gnawing pain in my back up near my ribs and in my lower stomach. My uterus feels achy and sore. I get really nauseous and have to will myself not to be sick. I've had to take time off work and cancel plans because of it. It only lasts 1-3 days and then the rest of the month I'm fine.
I have requested a GP appointment and I'm waiting to hear back.

Has anyone had similar? I'm quite worried and anxious about it.

I always get nausea and reflux during ovulation

I would ask for referral for a sonagram. Mild ovarian torsion can cause these symptoms that come and go, but if the torsion gets worse it can be very sudden and life threatening. Its a simple day surgery to correct though.

Yes, had this and got worse as I got older. I can literally feel ill around hat time, dragging feeling in uterus/vagina and also ovulation pain but only on the right side. Ultrasound shows I have multiple benign cysts on that side so basically any ovulation there and everything's stretched or popped so no wonder I feel grim! Solidarity it's really not pleasant! Pop pill has helped a lot though x

Thank you. I'll hopefully get a GP appointment soon. It's been happening for the last 6 cycles and always on the same side. I've been feeling so unwell along with the back pain - nausea, fatigue, aching muscles. Then around 48 hours later it passes and I'm back to normal.

Yes, pain and nausea can happen around ovulation, but it shouldn't be so severe that it affects your daily routine. Better using a warm compress for temporary relief and discussing your symptoms with a gynecologist to rule out other causes.
