Ovulation question for the experts

[Papillon]

Ok, so when one can FEEL ovulation, does that mean the egg is being realeased or could the pain associated with O be the ovary preparing, and the egg doesnt get released for a day or two???

does this question make sense?

I am just really curious.

I was in bed half the day on the 23rd of Dec, with O pain on the LH side. I gotten woken up at 7am by it and it didnt ease of enough for me to get out of bed until about midday and then it was just dull into the evening (i also had a small amount of EWCM on the 24th, noticed it on TPAPER, didnt notice it on the 23rd).

Then on the 25th i got the same pain, but not as strong but exactly the same on my RH side (which has been my primary ovary for Oing over the past few cycles). But it wasnt near as strong but was still painful and felt.

I have been basing my DPO on the 23rd, seeing as how vicious it was... but i am now really wondering and i am curious at the whole ovualtion process... i.e when i get the pain, what is it that is giving me the pain? at what stage etc etc etc

If anyone can help with this that would be AWESOME!!!!

TIA
