This is our third month trying to conceive. every month after i ovulate i have mild cramping especially in the mornings up until i get my period.

Ovulation discomfort: Many women do have pain for 2-3 days after ovulation called mittelschmerz. However, prolonged menstrual pain could be a sign of endometriosis or early fibroids. Since you're trying to conceive a preconceptual consult with an OB physician would be a good idea. Make sure you're taking some prenatal vitamins now as it helps lower miscarriage and birth defects.
