ovulating?

so my MC was detected and the DNC done on March 6th...most women get their period exactly between one month after dnc to 1 month after bleeding stops.
(so I'm expecting it between tomorrow and 2 weeks from tomorrow)

I posted a comment on FB that I sneezed so hard I hurt my ovary... and my aunt commented that that means I'm ovulating? is this true? can this be before I've seen AF officially return since MC & DNC?

Re: ovulating?

you definitely can ovulate before AF... AF is the end of the cycle, so it would make sense that you'd go through a whole cycle, including ovulation, prior to getting AF.
however... i don't know that pain with sneezing is a sign of O!
ALthough, some women do experience a painful sensation at the time of ovulation, which is called mittelschmerz (ive always liked this name ) - never heard of it associated with sneezing though!

Re: ovulating?

I've definitely never heard of Oing when sneezing, but my dr. did tell me that you can O as early as 2 weeks after your m/c, I'm not sure about after a D&C bc I had a natural m/c but I would guess it's the same thing bc your hormones try to return back to normal once you've stopped bleeding.
