Intense Ovulation pain/cramps?

isabella22

Sorry for all the BOTB questions...

Does anyone else have intense ovulation cramps or pain.  The day I O, it feels like AF cramps.  Is that normal?  I told my Dr and she didn't seem concerned, but it just doesn't seem normal...

I do ever since having A. I can always just tell. It's a very distinct pain but I can't describe it.

Me.  O is very painful for me.  It is sharp pains that last several hours on one side.  And I have been able to confirm that it is O by the CBEFM.  My dr said some small % of women get O pains.

Makes TTC timing easier (although it still took a while for me to conceive both of mine), but it sucks other times.  I will take BC after this baby and I get my tube tied just to not have to feel this each month.

Yep.  Normal.  Not everyone has it, but it's called "mettleschmertz" or something.  My german is awful, it means "middle pain" lol

I could always tell what side I o'd on 'cause it hurt for half a day.

You still ovulate when your tubes are tied - you may still feel it.  The egg just gets re-absorbed instead of travelling down the tube.  Mine are tied, still feel it.

Yes, that is why I said I was still going to take birth control after getting my tubes tied so that I would not have to feel it each month.
