C/S moms anyone else have this? (TMI)

I'm 9 mo pp. Still BF and started getting my AF at 7 mo pp. I have always had painful ovulation but it's been so much more painful since having DS and it lasts longer, used to be a day, now I'm in pain for 2-3 days. Then I get my AF few days later which used to be heavy and very painful, but now no more pain and only lasts a day , maybe 2 and it's gone. Another thing is that I have been having lots of random pain in my ovaries, not when I'm ovulating or when I'm getting/have my AF but other times, sometimes I also have pinkish discharge . Not a lot, but when I wipe it's there. I also have gotten an Yeast infection 3 times since having my DS. I NEVER get them, the only 2 times I have had it in my life was when I was pregnant with my DD 6 yrs ago and then 5 w pregnant with my DS . So not sure what's going on. I'm getting a bit worried.
I am due for my pap and annual visit but haven't been yet, going to try and make an appt next week or so , but wondering if anyone else is going through the same thing.

I noticed my cycles were different. I don't think it has anything to do with havign a C/S. I think its just that our hormones are completely different after havign a baby.

Re: C/S moms anyone else have this? (TMI)

I get worse cramps when ovulating since giving birth than I do for my period. I can even tell wich side too bc it cramps more.
Ugh!
Never noticed it before. Of course I was on the pill, but still.
I did have a c section.

Re: C/S moms anyone else have this? (TMI)

yes, much more painful. I know down to the hour when I am ovulating now. periods are also lighter and shorter. the same thing happened with my son and eventually things went back to "normal"

I WISH my periods were shorter and lighter. After my pregnancy mine got much worse. They are crazy heavy and last for probably 5-6 days. Awful for 3 days then when I think it's stopping the like 24 hours later it starts up again for another 1-2 days. Also, I'm like a raving crazy person. I don't know how my family deals with me when I am PMS. I agree with PP, I think the pregnancy really changed my hormones. It sucks. :o(

Re: C/S moms anyone else have this? (TMI)

No C section but I can now tell when I am ovulating- where i never could before- in fact, I think I rarely even ovulated at all before.
My periods are much more regular too.
And they are also MUCH heavier- especially the first few days.
I think it's more the hormones from pregnancy than the C Section.

My periods were always pretty miserable but the first few after having DS were even worse. I used to get a little crampy during ovulation but now I could swear they were trying to escape through my abdomen. And they were always very heavy but I couldn't leave the house during my entire first period after DS... they second one was equally as heavy so I said eff it and now I use my nuvaring to skip them altogether... we'll see how long I can keep it up for.

Re: C/S moms anyone else have this? (TMI)

I have had painful ovulations every few cycles after my second c-section. Every month I get cramps when ovulating. I can tell exactly when its happening. I never used to be able to tell.
