A member asked:

Can ovulation cause upset stomach and diarreah?

Dr. Gerard Honore answered

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

One possibility: Prostaglandins that are essential for ovulation can definitely also cause nausea and diarrhea, but they could be due to other unrelated causes. Nsaid drugs like Ibuprofen are usually very effective for prostaglandin-related complaints.
