period/ovary pain/breastfeeding

I have had a very similar problem. Except we had a condom break (17th jan), so I keep thinking I may be pregnant. I haven't had my cycle resume yet. I am still breastfeeding. My son is 1year old. I had one day of period cramping 10 days post accident. Then on again, off again dull aching in uterus area, flatulance. My mucous production has been stringy. Now I have just had two days of nausea. All tests to date say negative. Today I feel good, no nausea, no pelvic ache. I am sick of being confused. If I am not pregnant, then what is happening to my hormones and my body? Can you have period pains etc and have no bleeding? I already have 2 amazing souls gifted to me as a parent. We would welcome another with love but the thought of 3 children is somewhat daunting. So either way I am happy. If I am not pregnant then I am worried about my health.

Apparently this is more common than you think. I have been breastfeeding now for 7 months and have not yet had my period, which is normal, but at times i get horrible back pain like if i was menstruating. We have had no scares of pregnancy, and still no period. i had a c section and thought for a while that maybe it just had to do with that because at the same time as my back pain, i will have some pain around my incision. Thought maybe something was wrong because I had complication during my surgery. I feel like i am crapping and not sure if normal.

i too have this , i have a 12 month old ,which i am still breast feeding, and have not had a period yet .and for the last 4 weeks i have had realy bad cramping, back pain mood swings it feels like i am getting my period any second, i cant even stand being around my self at the moment, i have always had bad pms but this has gone on for to long...can any one help?

I hope an expert can answer all our questions!

I have a 8 month old daughter who I just started on solids five days ago. My partner and I had unprotected sex 4 or 5 days ago and today my ovaries were very achy and had a bit of lower back pain. I'm so scared that I"m pregnant, as I really want to wait a few years to have the next kid. Our daughter was 2.5 months premature with c-section, so I want to give my uterus lots of time to heal.

Please! does anyone have knowledge...

Is it common that ovaries will start aching when nursing decreases due to introduction of solids and lower-frequency breastfeeding? Could this to do changes levels of hormones the ovaries produce during this decreasing breastfeeding?

Thank you!

HI
i am sooo relieved to ear that from all of you!!
my baby is 11 month old,still breastfeeding and for about 2 weeks i have been experiencing mood swing ,dizyness and really bad back pain....I am taking the mini pill but i really start wondering if i am not pregnant !!!
can someone explain us that!!

I have been having the same issues. My babe is 4 months and have stopped breastfeeding 2 weeks ago...Wish i knew if I werer getting my period or not....All home pregnancy tests say negative

I know this is an old thread, but I have been having the same issues.  My son is 13 months old and I'm still nursing him.  He has started to self-ween a bit so we are down to only 4 nursing sessions a day and they are all between 6 am and 7 pm.  He sleeps 12 hours at night.  However, I have yet to see the return of my period.  Recently, I noticed an increase in cervical mucus.  It was egg-white cervical mucus that usually accompanies ovulation.  A few days later, I have had slight pelvic pain.  It almost feels like a cramp, but not quite.  It is more noticeable with a full bladder.  I just figured that my period will be returning soon, but after reading these posts, it seems like it may take awhile!  If any of you previous posters would care to update us with what happened to you, that would be great!

Did anyone figure out what this is? I have been having the exact same thing and I am frustrated! 

Thanks 

i am glad to hear that yous are having the same problem too not that i like knowing that yous are in pain my son is 11 months and i stopped feeding him two weeks ago also i had the implant in but i had that taken out about a month ago and for about 5 or more days now my ovaries have been sore at least twice a day and my back has been sore and i feel and look like ive put on more weight but im still around 70 to 75 kgs

Some times sitting for a long time may lead to cramp and back pain. Drink plenty of water and place a hot water bag on back.That relieves pain.

Same here! It wakes me up at night, I think it is directly due to breastfeeding since that is the one element we all seem to have in common. I started getting slight back pain during pregnancy, and tossed it up to the hormones effecting the ligaments in the back and pelvis to make room for the growing uteris. Then for the first 6 months of BFing, I figured things were just moving back into alignment. But here we are at 9 months, still only BFing at night, and it is getting worse! Especially if we feed side lying. I did have a c-setion. I will be talking to my Dr about this, and possibly visiting a chiropracter. I get so little sleep as it is, that I can't afford to lose sleep over a back ache. 

ME too! Lower abdominal pain under my belly button all the way around to my back, I stopped bf two weeks ago, still no menstral even though it feels like I could start any moment. And its been going on for over a week I was worried but now I feel relief. Hormones I guess.

I just stopped BF 5 days ago and I am feeling exactly like you. Cramping under belly button and around the hips to the back. Still have not started my cycle and even took a pregnancy test to make sure I wasn't pregnant (I'm not). This is my 4th child and I don't remember having this with any of the others. Guess it is the hormones like you said. I'm just glad I'm not the only one. I was about to call the Dr. to make sure nothing weird was going on.

wow , it's amazing how we all goo thru the same thing. My son is 5 months and I'm still bf but I pump more then I bf.. I was thinking that, I might be getting my period back or something, also hoping that its not baby #2 ..
