I noticed last month that I had some tenderness in my lower pelvis. Now its that time this month and I'm feel it again.It happens when I am about 13 days into my cycle. Its just a small dull pain. Anyone ever had this before? I don't know what is causing it

Hi shellj1, welcome,

Pelvic pain is difficult to diagnose because there are so many organs in that area. Are you cycling naturally or on hormonal contraceptives? Is the tenderness across your abdomen or over one of your ovaries? If you are having discomfort mid-cycle it sounds as though it might be cycle related and you could be feeling the egg follicle ripening. How long does the discomfort last? Have you changed anything in your diet, exercise, medicines or birth control in the last 2 or 3 months? Your best bet would be to ask your doctor what s/he thinks. Thanks for posting. Let us know what your doctor says.

Good luck,

      Jill
