Question 1

is feeling bloated and uncomfortable a symptom of ovulation?

Accepted Answer

Usually not: Bloating could mean other things like intestinal problems such as irritable bowel syndrome, or even something very serious like ovarian cancer.  If  its persistent and not just occasional, see your doctor.  Bloating is more common just prior to your period due to hormonal changes that cause the bowel motility to decrease.

Question 2

i've been having cramps /feeling bloated and lots of gas in my stomach was i ovulating?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Most likely you are having upset bowels.  Ovulation usually causes a more sharp or achy pain, but not bloating or gas.

Question 3

i had unprotected sex last week and forgot to take my pill for 3 days around my ovulation time now i'm feeling bloated and mild cramps could pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Am I pregnant?: Yes, you very well could be pregnant. Missing your pills and being sexually active with an unprotected fertile male can lead to pregnancy.  It may be early yet for a home pregnancy test, but that could be done soon.

Question 4

had protected sex day b4 period. period was on time and normal. now round ovulation time and feeling bloated and crampy could i be pregnant?

Accepted Answer

It happens anytime: You can get pregnant at any time during your cycle. The chance is less right before/during/after period, but still happens. Best chance is around time of ovulation--often midcycle for most women. Many women have some light period/bleeding during the first month or two after becoming pregnant. It is very easy and fast to do a home pregnancy test--which is highly accurate. So, check a hpt. Good luck.

Question 5

peroid01/07ovulated14/07.had sex bfore nd after ovulation. bn feeling nausea, bloated, cramping.y/day had pain lke periodpain. pregnant?  when can test?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Take a home pregnancy test.  They tend to be quite accurate, especially 1-2 weeks after conception.

Question 6

now 3 days after ovulation i experience a sharp pain in my lower  abdomen. very tired and bloated and light headed and feeling very hot. pregnant????

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: Intercourse in this interval?  Any other possible causes or trauma?  Could be UTI as well. Hard to say but possible pregnancy if intercourse, but low probability if none.   An EPT after a few days would answer the question of pregnancy. If this is persistent, see provider for thorough history and physical exam. Be well!

Question 7

ok actually im ovulating right now but my breast are sore and im feeling bloated also having chronic lower back pain plus heart burn could i be preg?

Accepted Answer

No: These are 'pregnancy symptoms' but they are also the usual symptoms around ovulation. If you are 100% certain you are ovulating now (you don't say how) you could get pregnant now, but would not be pregnant until after ovulation and fertilization and implantation: about a week from now.

Question 8

breast tenderness, more tired than usual& have lower abdomen bloating a week after ovulation.i keep feeling pulling tingly sensations in my lower abdomen as well. i never experience any of these symptoms after ovulation. had unprotected sex?

Accepted Answer

Possibly pregnant: I would suggest checking a pregnancy test. Best Wishes

Question 9

how long after ovulation do you stay bloated?

Accepted Answer

Ovulation and sx: At ovulation, especially after 30, more progesterone is produced by the ovary (corpus luteum) than when a woman is a teen or in her twenties. Progesterone causes "bloating" and after 30 these symptoms (sx.) can  mimic early pregnancy. The answer to your question is about 14 days, followed by a menstrual period. If a period is delayed, obtain a serum pregnancy test.

Question 10

is it normal to cramp and still be bloated right  after ovulation?

Accepted Answer

Post ovulation sx: Cramping and bloating after ovulation can be normal, but  can also reflect extra progesterone produced by a "double ovulation", much more common after 30.  The sx. are due to normal effects of progesterone (made at ovulation and until your next period) and rupture of the cyst in your ovary(ies) at ovulation.
