It is when you release more than one egg a cycle.  Unless you have extensive testing or fraternal twins, I don't know how one would know they have it.

ehhh...google is so easy. But here: I haven't heard of anyone having this naturally though.

Normally a woman will release just one egg from her ovary each month (women are born with millions of eggs in their ovaries), which then travels through her fallopian tube and enters the uterus waiting to be fertilized.

Hyperovulation occurs when more than one egg is released by a woman during her monthly menstrual cycle. This release of multiple eggs increases the chance of conceiving fraternal twins or even triplets.

Some women carry a gene, popularly called the "twin gene," for this pattern of hyperovulation and can pass it on to their daughters.

Releasing more than one egg in any given cycle. How would your friend knows she hyperovulates?

Just because she "feels" cramping doesn't make it definitely ovulation cramps, though. I felt O pains for weeks and never O'd. She could have cysts or gas or something else. Is she TTC?

They could be cysts ...only her doc would know for sure....  and yes she is TTC
