Is ovulation during pregnancy possible?

It is not possible for a woman’s body to ovulate during the course of pregnancy and perhaps even for a while after the baby is born, until the normal menstrual cycle is resumed by the body. Hence, when women believe that they are experiencing signs of ovulation during pregnancy, they are probably confusing other pain with ovulation pain. There are many women who claim to experience pain in one of the ovaries during pregnancy, which resembles the ovulation pain that occurred every month, prior to pregnancy. However, if this pain is experienced during the earlier part of pregnancy, it could be an indication of Poly-Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) or any such similar, undiagnosed conditions. Some of the other factors that could be confused for ovarian pain during pregnancy could include:

• Appendicitis
• Constipation
• Gall bladder diseases or infections
• Infections in the bladder or the urinary tract system
• Stones in the kidney or other renal problems
  

What prevents ovulation during pregnancy?

There are several women who wonder what stops ovulation during pregnancy and even ask their doctors about it. The process of ovulation is the body’s way of preparing for pregnancy and therefore, once a woman conceives, this process stops. Since the body is aware of the changes that take place due to pregnancy, it does not release the egg. The main factor that prevents ovulation during pregnancy is the changes in the levels of hormones in the body. Moreover, since the body ceases it normal menstrual cycle when a woman conceives, ovulation during pregnancy is not likely to occur.

All women should consult a doctor immediately, in case they notice any signs of ovulation during pregnancy, to rule out the possibilities of any major complications.
