Do you suffer with ovulation pain?

Question

Just trying to find out how common this is. For the last 4 or so months I have had really tight pulling pains around ovulation. On one occasion I was doubled over on the floor and had to call a paramedic!

Thanks for all your answers. I have just made an appointment with the Gynae Doctor at my clinic for this Friday to investigate further.. You are all right, I should get it seen to and not take the risk.

Thanks x

Have seen the doctor now. They said don't worry about it as long as it is not longer than 24 hours and not severe.

Its normal. However the episode a few months back where I called the paramedic was not normal and I did the right thing calling the Ambulance, even though I recovered without treatment, it could have been serious.

Better safe than sorry.

Thanks for all the answers.

Now everyone can cure infertility using this natural remedy http://pregnancyhelps.info
infertility can run in the family and one of the first things the doctor asks you when you go to a fertility clinic is your family history regarding cases of infertility or other reproductive issues.
If infertility is caused by genetic disorder then it's not unusual that one of the kids (your mom) doesn't have it and another does (your aunt).
two months of trying is still to early to be concerned about the fact that you might be infertile and it's also quite early to go to a fertility specialist. Go to a regular Obgyb to get a closer insight and see what ways there are are to improve your fertility rate.
Also remove alcohol, caffeine and cigarettes from your life because they might influence your chances too. Stress is also a risk factor when it comes to infertility.

My aunt had ovutation pain her entire childbearing years. I had it after my second pregnancy until I was pregnant with my third child. It usually hit me in the evening and hurt so bad I couldn't walk. I had to sit there a few minutes and catch my breathe before my husband could help me to the bed and get me something to knock me out. It was a very centralized pain, but it hurt to the blazes! I'm just glad it stopped after the 3rd baby. My body changed some after each birth, so maybe your's will too. As far as I know, my Aunt and I are the only to women in our family to have ovulation pain. None of my friends have ever mentioned it.

Ovulation pain; Midcycle pain
Definition

Mittelschmerz is one-sided lower-abdominal pain that occurs in women at or around the time of ovulation.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors

About 20% of women experience mittelschmerz, or pain associated with ovulation. The pain may occur just before, during, or after ovulation.

There are several explanations for the cause of this pain. Just prior to ovulation, follicle growth may stretch the surface of the ovary, causing pain. At the time of ovulation, fluid or blood is released from the ruptured egg follicle and may cause irritation of the abdominal lining. Mittelschmerz may be felt on one side one month, then switch to the opposite side the next month, or it may be felt on the same side for several months in succession.

The pain is not harmful and does not signify the presence of disease. In fact, women who feel this pain may be at an advantage when planning or trying to avoid pregnancy. A woman is most likely to become pregnant just before ovulation, on the day of ovulation, or immediately after ovulation. However, birth control methods that rely solely on predicting ovulation are far from completely reliable.

Symptoms

Lower-abdominal pain that is:

One-sided
Recurrent or with similar pain in past
Typically lasting minutes to a few hours, but may extend as long as 24-48 hours
Usually sharp, cramping, distinctive pain
Severe (rare)
May switch sides from month to month or from one episode to another
Begins midway through the menstrual cycle
Signs and tests

A pelvic examination shows no abnormalities. Other diagnostic procedures (such as an abdominal ultrasound) may be performed to rule out other causes of ovarian pain if ovulatory pain is prolonged.

Treatment

No treatment is usually necessary. Pain relievers (analgesics) may be needed in cases of prolonged or intense pain.

Expectations (prognosis)

The outcome is expected to be excellent.

Complications

There are usually no complications.

Calling your health care provider
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if midcycle ovulation pain seems to change or become unusually prolonged

Answer 5

Sometimes it can be verry painfull but now since I take birth control the pain is alot better I would ask your doctor since it was so bad you called the parametics that sounds serious Id also recomend taking birth control (unless ur trying to get pregnet)it will lessin the pain and lessin the amount and time of your period

Answer 6

Everyone's different. I don't get any symptoms- no warnings at all even. Just because your pain could be very similar to that of someone else's ovulation pain doesn't mean that's what you're experiencing. I would ask my ob-gyn what was going on and to help stop it if I had to go through that.

Answer 7

My mum had this and so did I. Back when mum was younger the birthing pill was slightly different and didnt stop the pain. She was sent to hospital at one point and they diagnosed her with endo, or 'endometriosis'. Every time you dont get pregnant, your endo cells (found in the womb) pass down and you have your period. Woman who have endo have endo cells that are in the pelvic region but not necessarily in your womb. When it comes to ovulate, you bleed from these cells but they dont go anywhere. Mum had some cells attached to the bottom of her spine and on nerves... so very very painful.
It can be cured but its very degrading. But if you dont get it sorted you will become infertile.

Answer 8

Your pain that you described seems a bit more than it should be just for ovulation. Check with your doctor and see what he says.
Some women experience awful pains just from their periods but a hormone imbalance could also cause the pain.

Answer 9

You should start by not wanting to get pregnant, just have sex everyday or every other day and don't think about getting pregnant, just have fun with your partner. Get more useful information and guides to get pregnant here https://tr.im/0ih2Q
after sex-put a pillow under your butt or prop your feet up on the wall so your pelvis is tilted
eat healthy
back off caffiene
workout, even if its just a 20 minute walk a day, be active.
