lump in going during ovulation

[Erin79]

I am 28 years old. At 25 I discovered a lump in my groin area very similar to a hernia except it only showed up during ovulation, middle of cycle. I have seen many doctors who cannot diagnose it. It is 1 inch above pubic bone, 2 inches away from crease in leg.It shows up on left side only, sometimes back to back months but occasionally skipping a month. Due to the fact that this was unable to be diagnosed I tried to get pregnant. I took a ovulation test during the lumps occurrence which turned out positive. I got pregnant that month. The lump did not persist during the pregnancy or during breastfeeding. I did however have a complicated pregnancy due to a "sensitive uterus" I contracted from 28 to 38 weeks. The birth was induced but relatively normal with no complications. After breast feeding my cycle continued and the lump came back mid cycle. I have seen a hernia specialist who has never seen a hernia that was related to an ovulation cycle. He suggested a cat scan when the lump persist. It is random when it shows up. On an evening that it has been present but in remission (it was there 15b minutes ago) I cannot get it to show up again. I push, pull , bend, squat, you name it. It has no consistency except that it is always mid cycle. I had an ultra sound preformed, internal and external, with no results. I feels like a hernia would when you push it in and out. It seems to hurt more if I have been very active that day. It is lasting longer and becoming more painful. (It only hurts when it pops in and out.) It seems to be mostly gone in the morning and during the day gets worse and worse. My mom had a hysdorectomy at 23 for endomitrious. She also had a lot of cysts. I would like to have more children so i'm kinda in a rush to figure this out. If you cannot help please pass this to someone who might be able to. Thanks.

I agree with tarajanes, i have also heard that this can happen during ovulation. I have cysts on myleft ovary and i get pain and achey on that side when im ovualting and then the pain seems to dissapear after ovulation so it could be the same sort of thing but i wouldnt be happy that no one knows what it was and couldnt shed any light on it especially my doctor. Maybe try seeing a gyno as thats where i always go and they have been great with me so far.

Hi there i was wondering,i have been trying to find this interesting page that had a of somthing similar to this,but cant find it,is it possible that since its during ovulation it is a sign of which ovary your are ovulateing from,since it then disappears,i read that if you stand up right and place each hand just in between the crease area of the leg with your index finger you can feel a swelling on one side with your index finger. its said that its the ovary preparing for ovulation.maybe just a thought.i would think if it was anything for you to worry about the doctors would have known what it was,
