Bit of history.. I was diagnosed with PCO after my cycle completely disappeared for about 10 months. Was put on Metformin, which was successful in establishing a cycle, and I was pg on the 2nd cycle. AF returned 3 months after having the baby, and I've never had such textbook cycles! admittedly a bit longer than 28 days, but I can confidently say I'm ovulating and AF is always 14 days later. Yay!

But I've been getting really bad ovulation pains.. to the point of having to take painkillers. I can't take much, coz of breastfeeding, so just pop some panadol, or sometimes panadeine. Are ovulation pains like this normal? Could it be related to my cystic ovaries? Or is this how my periods would have been without pco?

Any advice is appreciated
