Would you ladies worry?

So, I have some questions/fears about my reproductive organs lately. Bear with me as this is my history. lol. BEFORE becoming pregnant with the boys I was a 28-30 day cycler and almost ALWAYS had the mittleshmerz feeling when I ovulated. Not  fun feeling, but it helped me to better read my body. In 2009 I was on BC for 3 months and that stuff messed me up. For the 5-6 months after getting off of it I think I had a few cycles that were annovulatory, as I didn't experience Mittleschmerz and had 34-54 days cycles.  In November I finally felt regular, December was the last cycle before we conceived. I'm fairly positive based on NFP and the mittleshmerz feeling that I ovulated twice, 2 days apart= twin boys. 

AFTER having the boys my cycle didn't return until they were 10 months old (they're 16.5 now). For the first 4 I did not experience normal symptoms, and wonder if those may have been annovulatory as well, though I had mc signs, but my temp was hard to remember to take. lol..  From month 13-15 I continued to nurse them 2x's a day until 15.5 months when we stopped completely.

SO, this cycle has been my first fully hormonally balanced (if there is such a thing! lol) since before the boys  Because we use NFP, we are intimate as much as we want to be day 1-9 and 20-28, with a 10-11 day window of needing protection.  I don't always catch my temps, but can pretty accurately read mc and other symptoms.  Well I am on day 19, and from day 14-current I have been having dull achy pains on my lower left side, and have been pretty tired lately (that was my first pg symptom with boys). It felt like mittleshmerz the first day, but after 5 days of on/off feeling like this, I have to wonder if 1) I've ovulated like a dozen times? (which terrifies me!) Or if 2) I have a possible ovarian cyst going on, maybe because of hormones doing their straightening out this month. 3) A possible UTI?  4) Maybe I don't really know waht my body is doing and somehow I am pregnant/ectopic and that is why it isn't going away, but doesn't bother me alot unless I bend over too far, pick up one/both of the boys, and have been SOOO tired lately.

 

lol. Sorry for the novel, but my husband and i talked and decided if this is still going on Monday that I just need to schedule an appt with my OB to get it checked out. I just feel like a part of me is a huge worry wort, but...this has never happened to me before!  Has anyone elses body gone kind of wonky right after they stopped nursing, that they ovulated a bunch of times? or anything like what I have described just after multiples/nursing ended?

    I would call your Ob. My friend is having the same issue, she is 37 had a baby a year ago and no period is coming. the doctors said having her first c section had a big impact on why. she's had testing and sonograms and everything is done, just no period. Like you her concern is a pregnancy as she is done.

    Thanks ladies, I know that my system has gone through a lot in the last two years!  I'm just a serious worrier! I will definitely wait and see how the pain subsides/increases. I guess I'm just terrified that my body is going to start hyper ovulating at every cycle, which just puts more fear in my mind about another set of multiple--equalling me not wanting to be intimate at all for that fear coming true! (THOUGH, I love my boys, I"m not ready for more atm)

    ....you cant ovulate "a dozen times" over 5 days.  you ovulate once and if your body decides to release more than 1 egg it happens in a 24 hour timeframe. 

    id take a pregnancy test and then go see your OB. sometimes cycles are wonky after a pregnancy/birth.

    You're right, I suppose I said that incorrectly. What I am trying to say is that I know the mittleschmerz feeling tends to last for 30 min/ an hour when the egg is released.  And I have had THAT feeling on and off at least 10 times in the last 6 days,  I don't know exactly how hyper ovulation works, but I do know I conceived fraternal twins january of 2010. I was charting pretty accurately then to know I released two eggs, two days apart from each other.
