What could cause this? I'm two weeks from my LMP. I'm not pregnant. I do have a submucosal fibroid but I have never heard of that causing cramping/bloating while not menstruating. Thoughts? I'm really uncomfortable.

That is right around ovulation time, it is common for some women to get cramping during that time Fwiw

 

Hmmm... it could be that but this is WAY more intense. I feel exactly like I feel when on my period.

I have had this experience as I've gotten older, yay . . . last time I told dh that I wasn't sure if I was ovulating, or if there was a demon inside me trying to claw its way out. 

 

I've also thrown up from cramps 3 times in the last year, which I haven't done since I was in my teens.

Oh my word my actual period has nothing on my ovulation. I ache, cramp, feel bloated, everything for a few days until my ovary decides to release the darn egg.

Yep, my mid cycle is way worse than the actual period. Even the chocolate cravings! It didn't used to be like this, though.

 

I hope that's all it is for you and nothing more serious.

This is exactly me.

I've had this too.....not every month thankfully.

 

No, not every month, but frequently enough when TTC & when I was tracking those things to notice a pattern.  Maybe 4-5 times a year for me.  Last time I was joking with DH that I had no idea why a cycle would be designed this way.  It doesn't exactly put you in the mood & make you more likely to conceive.  Sort of the opposite.

Oddly, I don't ever remember noting mid month changes, cramps, etc., Until after I read Take Charge of Your Fertility AND want nursing. First I had to be made aware such a thing existed, then actually be fertile for more than a month, then know where I was in my cycle. William was only nursed for a very short time and he's almost two so I've had the chance to see this repeat several times now. It's pretty remarkable. My feeling like this lasts from a couple hours to, at most, a day. Then, sometimes, I do feel the sharp twinge women talk about, but, just as often, it just subsides. Usually it is semi localized to one side or the other slightly and that is the give away. ;)

Yeah, same here. Happens frequently enough that I know its ovulation related. No, definitely doesn't put you in the mood. 😀
