Good morning ladies and happy Saturday!!

Ok my first question is~~~ Is it bad to douche while ttc or while pregnant??

and my second question is:

At about 5AM this morning I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep for awhile and I noticed, not a cramp, but sort of a swollen feeling in the area that my right ovary I would think should be in. Now I'm not exactly sure what a swollen ovary feeling like, but what i felt is what I'd imagine it to feel like...it wasn't exactly O type pain but similar..now I know I'm not o'ing because I o'd last friday/saturday....finally I feel back asleep and woke up at 9 and still had the same thing going on...once I got up and started moving around it's subsided but i've never felt that before...any ideas of what it might have been??

Thanks Connie!

That's what I had heard to about douching but my mom told me to use it....but I didn't think you were supposed to while TTC or if PG...I wonder why that is?

Well the ache is back but it's weird..lol....I've had weird AF cramping all week though, but I'm not due for AF for still over a week, Next sunday...so who knows.

Thanks again Connie!

Lynn--Most docs will tell you not to douche ever. I work in on OB/GYN office and all of those docs say to not douche ever. When you do that you are taking away your natural vag lubrication. Which in turn can cause more harm than good. So if you have any question about it ask your dr. Good luck!
