Trying to conceive my second and it seems to be taking longer than the first time and I’m starting to get worried. First time took two cycles (1 month) and I got pregnant. I ended up having a to have a c-section due to my baby’s heart rate falling often during labor. I went on an IUD as soon as I could after his birth.

That was 2 years ago. I had it removed at the end of this August, and have had 4 periods. I did not get my period on the IUD but would experience pain on one side of my pelvic area where I believe to be near where my ovary would be. Now that I get my period again I get the same pain but worse when I’m cramping but only in the spot. I had an ultrasound done bc I complained about this pain to my doctor. He said it was “basically normal” and nothing concerning. It was a conversation over the phone on his day off so I wasn’t really able to fully discuss what that means.

Three months later, it’s November and I’m still not able to get pregnant. I can’t help but think what if my c-section is causing me difficulties TTC? Or maybe the one-sided pain I get ever so often is linked to my c-section? My doctor and I both think it may be related to how my scar healed. But could that have a connection to me not being able to conceive now?

I do plan on making another appointment with my doctor to discuss these concerns, but I was curious if anyone else on here has gone through a similar experience? Have you had trouble conceiving after a c-section? Have you experienced one sided pelvic pain after your c-section?
