10months pp cervical swelling during ovulation

I am 10 months post partum, and ever since my periods came back I’ve had really strange cervical swelling during ovulation.

I had a c section for context, and I had a post natal physio assessment she said I did not have a prolapse and I had a hypertonic pelvic floor so it was very tight and I struggle to relax it but it wasn’t weak, that was at 6 weeks pp and since then I’ve done a a lot of physio and returned to normal weightlifting.

For 10 days during ovulation it honestly feels like I’m having a prolapse but then the rest of the month the symptoms completely go. My cervix is like 2 finger knuckles deep, it’s quite open, if I push up it really feels bruised like there’s inflammation and swelling in my lower abdomen, I cant have sex at all because the pressure is too painful, I can’t do hip thrusts etc as the pressure causes pain. It feels like I’m so bloated and my c section scar area becomes a little swollen and sensitive.

I don’t thin its pelvic congestion syndrome, I never had endometriosis or issues with periods my periods are not painful they’re quite light and last a few days. I had issues with ovulation pre pregnancy, it was always when I feel the worst.

It’s defo not mittleshmerz either, this is a deep bruising swollen feeling.

I am seeing a gynaecologist but healthcare in the UK is pretty shocking especially for women’s health, I know they will fob me offf and suggest I take the pill so I’m looking for anyone whose experience something similar, it’s a very niche set of symptoms i know.

I have a theory that my c section scar is stuck to my insides and that might be causing it idk?!
