Anyone ever get O pain?

Clery · August 2009

I'm sure I have asked this before. Sometimes I feel nothing but this cycle my left side is really ouchy. It is fine when I don't move but when I am moving around it is uncomfortable. Last night while sleeping I kept getting a wave of pain there and then it would stop. Dr. Mom said to chill out she used to get O pain too. I called re but have not heard back yet. I had two ultrasounds last week and they did not see any cysts but I'm pretty sure my follie on the left was the biggest not the right. Any info would be appreciated. Thx

My last pregnancy I got very obvious O pain (it was on my right side which happens to be the same side of my only fallopian tube), it was a cramping feeling but not like AF cramps.

I had a sort of crampy, pinching pain right around the time O should have happened the last four cycles, and it was that way before our loss as well when I went off birth control. My dr. in New York told me that it was ovulation related, and since it would mean that I am indeed ovulating now, I'm going to take her at her word.

I do every month. I have light cramps for about half a day.

I've gotten really painful O pains in the past and in the last 3 cycles it has been difficult to sleep or even move without ibuprofen. I googled it and found out that O pain is usually not at all a major concern and will tell you when and what side you ovulate from. Good luck getting answers with this.

Thx ladies, I'm just so neurotic about everything since my losses.

I never had O pain until my EP. So I went looking it up on line and this is what I found hope this helps:

All women are familiar with cramping, headaches, bloating, and constipation or diarrhea that accompany periods every month. But some women also experience mid-cycle ovulation pain. This is absolutely normal and surprisingly common. Painful ovulation or mid-cycle pain affects about twenty percent of women. Although the pain may feel like something serious is wrong, painful ovulation or is rarely serious.

Painful ovulation, when severe, is referred to as mittelschmerz, a German word that means ?middle pain.? Most women who experience painful ovulation usually report a nagging pain that begins as a sharp twinge and diminishes into a dull ache for the next day or so. But for some women, the pain can be severe enough to be disabling and can even be confused with appendicitis. Occasionally, in addition to mid cycle pain and cramping, some women may experience nausea, and/or light menstrual spotting. Mittelschmerz lasts for 6 to 8 hours in most women; however, occasionally it can last as long as twenty-four to forty-eight hours.

While the discomfort can occur on either side of the abdomen, it is more commonly experienced on the right. Pain in the abdomen can occur during intercourse or it can be aggravated by intercourse, working out or other physical activity. In addition to pain, some women also experience gastrointestinal symptoms and increased frequency of urination. Painful ovulation may occur every month, but more typically occurs every third to fourth cycle.

Thanks that was helpful, it sounds exactly right.
