Clomid ovulation pain question

in Trying to Get Pregnant
For the past 2 months, I've been on Clomid. Each time, as my follicles get close to the magic 20 mm number, I get really achey and crampy as if my ovary is going to burst.

I've never felt ovulation pain prior to going on the meds. Is this simply a side effect or would it seem to indicate that perhaps my follicles weren't reaching maturity before? Thoughts?

    I felt more pain and pressure while I was on Femara.  I'm no doctor and am very possibly wrong, but I believe it was because there were more than one in there growing, hence the pressure.

    I always had very strong ovulation pains on clomid. The first cycle I actually went in for an ultrasound before my mid cycle scan because I was convinced I had a cyst! But, nope. I think it's common and as long as you are being properly monitored, I wouldn't worry too much! Good luck!

    TTC#2 Since July 2011
    Me: 29, had two blocked tubes - left was cleared during lap, right was unable to be cleared. PCOS & Stage 2 Endo. DH: 32, SA = perfect
    CLOMID: 4 rounds, 50mg + TI = BFN's. FEMARA: 1 round = no response
    12-24-2012 : Laparoscopy, Softball sized cyst/endo/scar tissue removed.
    Cycle #14 - Feb 2013 : 50mg clomid. Ovidrel Trigger. IUI on 2/14/13 = thin lining, multiple cysts.
    Cycle #15 - no meds, still have cysts, no follicles. Boo!
    Forced break. Continuous BCP for 6 weeks to give my jacked up ovaries a break.
    Cycle #16 actively trying (May/June): Femara, TI = BFN
    Cycle #17- #20 - Med/Treatment break, trying on our own = BFN's all around.
    Cycle #21 - Femara, MORE Femara, Ovidrel and a Christmas IUI = BFN

    This makes sense to me.
