Ovulation Pain
Urgh.
Just venting I suppose, but can someone tell me, is it normal?
I always get a twitch, noticeable since childbirth, but today i am in a lot of pain.
It feels about as bad as my early period pain and i was half asleep on the couch writhing.
I guess its not really a big deal i am just curious!

I get it as well, just like you described. Only started getting it after childbirth as well and can tell which side the egg is coming out of as the pain is THAT BAD. my period pain isnt even as bad as my ovulation pain.
I have been told its normal so I hope so.

yep me too. ANd I get nausea so horrendously for that 24hours too.
Registered User
Yep, I get it too... Sometimes to the point of not being able to stand straight. Sharp, stabbing pain, always on the right side...

Maybe it means it is a healthy egg

I've always had notable discomfort and period-like cramps around ovulation but not unbearable pain. I'm sure it's normal though.
This is a slight aside but does anyone know if ovulation cramping and lower abdominal discomfort signals ABOUT TO ovulate or JUST/RECENTLY ovulated? I know my o symptoms well but not the order of the symptoms if that makes sense.
Registered User
I think the discomfort and pain relates to the egg being releasing - so I imagine, present tense, ovulatING.
Registered User
It did! How awesome

I am in the same boat, it hurrrrts.

Ovulation is the rupture of a follicle containing a mature egg. The egg is spat towards your fallopian tubes, and the fluid that was inside the follicle, leaks out. That fluid is foreign to your abdomen and irritates it. This fluid irritation is the cause of most cramping associated with ovulation. It occurs after ovulation. The ruptured follicle can take some time to get empty so the pain can occur any time from ovulation to a whole 24 hours after ovulation. This is why ovulation pain is not always the best indicator of the exact time of ovulation.
Hope this helps

It does help. Thank you so much.
One more question: so when the egg spits out it takes 24 hours to travel down the tube before it (ideally) meets sperm? Or am I making this up?
Registered User
Omg I get terrible ovulation pain some months to the point I cant move. Yet period pain is not much in comparison.
Registered User
Sorry - to add: so if I had cramps Friday the egg would not have been 'available' to sperm until Saturday?
Registered User
Well you could have ovulated Friday or Saturday... and the egg can live for 12, possibly 24 hours. That's why it's best to have swimmers sitting in your tubes waiting for her royal highness queen of eggs to arrive and be fertilised. The egg is fertilised in the tube and then makes its way down to the uterus.

Thanks lovely. It seems Her Royal Highness is incredibly fussy with regards to which swimmers she picks... for she has not so far.
Registered User
Hopefully soon she will stop being so hoity toity and accept a lovely swimmer

So I'm 5 MAYBE 6 DPO and my lower belly and back are suddenly really achy and heavy again- just this afternoon. I doubt it's the follicular fluid as that would mean it's really hanging around long after O but I think it's too early for an implantation. What would this be I wonder? Maybe the power of my mind to will symptoms for a non-existent pregnancy into existence? Lol I do have a superb imagination if I do say myself.
