Hi all I'm on CD12 of my first cycle. I've never been pregnant before so an very new to this. 2 days ago I had sharp pains on the left side of my lower stomach and have felt slightly nausea 1 day ago I had a different pain in the same place which feels like someone tugging. I also had back pain on one side when I bent over. Today I have the same stomach pain as yesterday but feeling slight nausea again . What does this mean? Is it from coming off the pill, from having pcos, ovulating or other? Please help me xx

Hi Roxy,

The joys of being female is that the same symptoms can signal several things - cramps can occur as part of PMT, early pregnancy growing pains or ovulation pains.

Based upon you being CD12 & that the pain is slightly more on one side I would guess it is ovulation pains you're experiencing.  Best wishes & good luck.

Thank you, that's what I suspected the most. I hope it is as I have PCOS and have never had a scan so I've never know if I have trouble with ovulating or not xx

Hi again, I'm now on CD14 and still have pains in my stomach but it sometimes goes across to the right side and is now more constant. I'm also sill feeling sick a lot.

Do any of the possible causes for this last for this long? It's been 5 days in total but seems like forever haha xx
