A member asked:

Is feeling bloated and uncomfortable a symptom of ovulation?

A doctor has provided 1 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.
