Welcome to BB! In answer to your question, it can be completely different for each person. Some woman have pain in the hours before ovulating, some feel a sharp pain as the follicle erupts during ovulation, and some feel pain in the luteal phase (LP) from their ovary that ovulated. It's completely individual, and sometimes the only way a woman can work out when pain is occurring in relation to actual ovulation (O) is to chart her cycle and make a note of which days/times she is feeling pain. Have you thought about taking temps and charting your cycle?
I was able to establish when I feel ovulation pain when I went through IVF, however since having my DD, it has changed now, so I can't really tell if I'm experiencing it directly before, during or directly after any more.
Just to make is easy, no definate answer ... Thank you though.
I religiously chart my cylce but not my temp. I have noticed here that lots of women take their temp so I'll have to start doing it.
I'm generally a 28 day cycle but last month was 26 days.
I had O pain last night (and feintly today) so I would assume that today at day 13 it would be before or during. But given that I was 26 days last month I was just wanting to pinpoint it more.
We've been TTC for several months now - what a learning curve. I had no idea how many planets needed to be aligned. Its a wonder it even happens at all.
