severe nausea and vomiting first postpartum ovulation?

Question

hi there, i am 20 weeks postpartum and breastfeeding exclusively. i do express milk but my baby only has breastmilk.
i have been wondering for a while when my fertility would return, and have been testing with opk's to keep any eye on things. i am not ttc!
i just received my first truly positive opk just now which matches some pains and ewcm etc i have been having, so i assume i am about to ovulate for the first time.
however, since yesterday i have had the worst nausea. i have thrown up several times and even had a little diarrhea (sorry tmi) in the night. can all this be from ovualtion or do you think it is coincidental i have picked up a stomach bug?
also- if my opk is positive that rules out pregnancy no? i used internet cheapies of both tests and the opk was clearly positive whereas the hpt cheapie just had the usual colourless watermark that i come to expect when using these tests.

I had exactly the same thing... it's called mittleschmerz.  I always had uncomfortable ovulation prior to pregnancy but after I had my son, it became even more so, with nausea, dizziness, diarrhea and cramps in the side I was ovulating from.  

So yes, it is possible it is just ovulation.  Take a hpt when you can just to be sure, but it sounds to me like mittleschmerz.
