Cramps and pain mid-cycle??

[Indadhanu]

My stupid body is being stupid again

For the past 6 months, since I got my period back after it went MIA at the beginning of the year (I had three cycles then it went away for almost 5 months), my cycles have been so weird (for me).

I get my period, bleed for 7 days straight (heavy for 5-6 days), I get little niggly cramps but nothing really compared to what I used to get pre-pregnancy. Then around day 10-12 (so 3-5 days after my period stops) I start getting cramps. At first I thought they might have been ovulation cramps, but they are as fierce as period pain, and they last for about 7-10 days. Then its all clear sailing until my period starts at about
That by itself was annoying but managable, but the past 2 months I've also been getting a really achey pain (TMI TMI TMI) low in my abdomin, and down into my vagina and bowels. A bit like really bad wind pain or constipation. I don't have any wind or constipation problems, but I am really bloated, and it does HURT (A LOT!) if I need to pass wind. It also turns into a searing hot pain throughout that whole lower abdomin area if I sit the wrong way, or twist the wrong way, or move too fast the wrong way...

I'm heading to the dr on Thursday, but just wanted to know if others have gone through something similar? What should I be asking for at the drs? I do have PCOS, but I've never had this happen before... do I need another ultrasound? I don't have a history of endometriosis, and there was none present at a lap I had in May 2007. Can it just pop up after having a baby??
