for me it's quite different from AF cramps. for AF i get like a dull ache across my lower belly but ovulation pain is a sharper pain, usually just on the one side of my lower belly. where AF cramps are more constant, my O pains are just every so often.
I haven't had ovulation pain in quite some time, but I remember it well. It was very sharp stabbing pain in one side. I didn't get AF type cramps. It was much more a constant pain.
thanks for your replies.. reason i asked is because i had some period type cramping that i get every mth somewhere in the cycle but havnt really paid attention to where before and was just wondering if it could be related.. i wouldnt have thought i would o so early in my cycle (9 days since last day of period) wanting to concieve a baby boy (i know it probably wont happen that way lol) i am just trying to figure out my o patterns..
my O pain is really distinctive. it is a really intense stabbing pain in the general ovary area (usually my right side). sometimes it is so intense i can't move, sit or breathe! it usually last a day like this and then the day after is a dull thumping pain...
I've had my first ovulation after going off the pill two weeks ago. I forgot how uncomfortable it is! To me it's one sided and spasmodic. It has coincided with clear white mucus too. I am trying to conceive next cycle so at least I have an idea when the best time to try is.
