Constant abdominal pain after ovulation

QUESTION

Hi everyone.

For the past few months I’ve been experiencing a dull, nagging abdominal pain for about two weeks during my cycle, starting around ovulation and lasting until my period begins. It feels like menstrual cramps, but it’s constant and more of a dull ache.

The gynecologist said it’s probably ovulation pain and that there’s no indication of endometriosis based on the ultrasound. But as far as I know, ovulation pain shouldn’t last two full weeks, so I’m a bit confused.

I’ve been trying to conceive for 1.5 years now. Six months ago I had a series of ultrasounds, which all looked fine. Because my cycle is regular, they didn’t think bloodwork was necessary.

Does anyone else recognize this?
