Question about ovulation pain

in Trying to Get Pregnant

For those of you ladies who experience ovulation pain, how long does it usually last? What does it feel like for you?

I am trying to distinguish pains here lol.  I often have twinges around my right ovary that I am more sensitive to since having a 4cm complicated cyst a couple years ago.  I was having pain last night and this morning that are similar to the pain from the cyst, but far less intense. I was wondering if it could be ovulation pain or if I'm just crazy.  I don't expect any of you to be able to tell me specifically if my pain is related to ovulation, but I was just curious about your experiences with ovulation pain.

Thank you!

    My ovulation pain is usually right sided, and is in the same area as my menstrual cramps, except much lighter. Usually it's a dull achy feeling with a couple sharp pains, by where my kidneys are kinda. I didn't know what it was at first but now I can tell everytime.

    TTC Since October 2012.  I’m 27 and DH is 30

    DH: 4 SAs, all came back normal, blood testing 6/13-9/13 all normal

    Me: 03/13 irregular cycles, hypothyroidism diagnosis

         3/13 full blood panel showed normal results except thyroid

         5/13 regulated hypothyroidism, regular cycles again

         6/13 day 21-24 blood testing came back normal

         6/13-9/13 DH testing with Urologist- normal

         11/13 ultrasounds and full hormonal blood panel were normal

         12/13 OB consult, day 3 blood tests and HSG ordered

         01/14 HSG results normal, day 3 blood tests are normal

    Just hoping that AF will back off and give me a chance to take a pregnancy test! All are Welcome!!

    I also have been getting ovulation pain on my right side, but mine starts about a week before my expected O date. It goes from dull and achy to throbbing and sharp.

    I feel ovulation pain pretty much every cycle. It's more intense & lasts longer(12-24 hours) when it's on the right side. But it is definitely less intense than the pain from the cyst I had. When it's my right side, it feels a lot like menstrual cramping; on the left it feels like prolonged gas pains.

    Thanks ladies! I appreciate your input.  I'm hoping I'm close to O, but it's my first cycle off BCP, so who really knows.

    Mine feels achy at first wrapping from my left side to my lower back. That is usually the day before to day of ovulation. After the achy part I have sharp pokes in my side that usually are the night before my temp rise.

    May be a dumb question but does ovulation pain mean I am ovulating right then? If I feel pain should I get down to business? lol Or is it just a sign that it is happening sometime soon?

    I don't think it's a dumb question because I was wondering this as well.

    I have read that women can feel what they describe as o pain before ovulation, during and immediately after ovulation. I guess it depends whih part of the process you are most sensitive to?

    I'm currently experiencing pain on my left side around my hip area. I would describe it as mostly pressure and not much actual pain.

    But I have no idea if it's actually O pain or gas or something. I've been feeling this for a couple days now.

    How funny, my O pain is always on my right side also! My first month off BCP it was so intense I had to take ibuprofen! It was a sharp pain and only lasted 1 night. I don't remember feeling it the second month. And my third month I actually posted on here about... I would like to think it was O pain but it lasted about 5 days. I've never been diagnosed with cysts but I had to wonder if it was because it was just a dull ache on my right side for so long. I even found myself googling "blocked Fallopian tube".
    This is my expected week of O and I have felt some aches but I don't know what to make of it yet.
