i saw a similar question like this and i just need to ask this for myself please read!!?

Question

okay the other day i skimming through the questions and i saw someone asked about like a pain in one of her sides every once a month and she asked if it was ovulation, and most of the people who answered said yes. and ive always had it ever since ive started my period, weird thing is ive always just put 2 and 2 together and i just thought it was another sign that i was about to get my period. cause it happens about 2 days before my period. and i know it was the same thing she was talking about. it kind of feels like a twitch in my side. so in other words i ovulate a couple of days before my period??

i understand that ovulation is supposed to be 12 to 14 days after your period, but then i was thinking, not everyone is the same, and thats probably why i havent been able to get pregnant the last 2 years maybe my body is funky or something. i dont know.

Answer 1

In many women, various unpleasant symptoms caused by the involved hormones and by cramping of the uterus can precede or accompany menstruation. More severe symptoms may include significant menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea), abdominal pain, migraine headaches, depression and irritability. Some women encounter premenstrual stress syndrome (PMS or premenstrual syndrome

OVULATION
In the average cycle this surge starts around cycle day 12 and may last 48 hours.
In some women, ovulation features a characteristic pain called Mittelschmerz (German term meaning 'middle pain') which lasts for several hours. The sudden change in hormones at the time of ovulation also causes light mid-cycle bleeding for some women

Answer 2

Greetings! O.K., I understand what you are saying. However, have you even talked to your GYN about the pain you have. I don't think it is ovulation you are feeling. I could be wrong. I'm not a doctor, just a nurse; but, most importantly a mom 3 times. I used to get cysts on my ovaries and I would feel those right before my periods because of the imflammation. However, if you are feeling more of a twitch, you really need to talk to your doctor about it and he/she needs to order a pelvic ultrasound and get a good clear look at everything to make sure there are not cysts or fibroids there.
We have our periods several days after ovulation when a there is no sign of a fertile egg growing in the uterus. The lining of the uterus is shed and that is what we lose. So you should have ovulated a couple of weeks prior to that feeling. However, again, you should talk to your GYN about it.
Good luck.
A woman's health isn't anything to play with.
Good Luck!

In your case it probably is a sign of impending period, due to the timing. I used to get small crampy pains 3 days before my period, sometimes on the sides and sometimes in the middle.

I was also diagnosed with Mittleschmerz or mid-cycle pain but it didn't sound quite right to me, and when I got a 3rd opinion it turned out I was bleeding severely into my ovary very time I ovulated, causing swelling and extreme pain.

My point here is that if none of this advice sounds right to you, even if it's from a doctor, get another opinion. I nearly lost my right ovary because the other doctors just assumed it was normal ovulation pain. Do what feels right for you.

Answer 4

Have you had yourself checked with your OBGYN? Does the pain switch sides from month to month. I had a similar pain for many years, every month... and I thought it was ovulation. It turned out to be a cyst. If so, you'll probably need to have an abdominal and/or vaginal sonogram to be sure, but you should at least entertain that idea. If you have one, and many women have them at least once in their lives, taking birth control usually clears it up. Never ignore pains. There's always a reason for them. You know why the word "disease" means what it means? It's your body telling you there's "dis ease" going on. Pay a visit to your doctor to put your mind at ease.

Answer 5

no..that pain is not ovulation because u ovulate 14 days before the start of your next period. that is called PMS (pre menstrual syndrome) and i get that every time my period is coming up. the premenstrual syndrome is composed of various symptoms...that pain is included. also included is pain in the breasts or tenderness in the breasts. dont worry, thats perfectly normal.

the pain u experience during ovulation is a different thing. it is called mittelschmertz and it is a sharp, stabbing pain on one side of the abdomen (because only one ovary ovulates per month). its normal too..although some girls dont experience it and some do.

Answer 6

No, you ovulate 14 days before your period. The twinge could just be your body's way of telling you your period is coming. I would check with a doctor just to be sure everything is ok.

Answer 7

It is very unlikely that you would ovulate two days before your get your period. No two people have the same cycle length but the twinge you feel is probably not ovulation.

Answer 8

I get this every month, it's just my body's way of telling me that my period is about to start so be prepared. I also get pains during ovulation but they are different in intensity. It is deft possible that you are ovulating late. Have you tried charting your temps, that would give you a clue.

Answer 9

well i know that when i feel those pains it's because my ovaries are ovulating. women feel these pains usually after they have children. it's hard to for me to say when you ovulate. i know that 5 days before, 5 days during and 5 days after your period is when you are most fertile. im not sure wich day is your ovulation day. but try to have sex as much as possible during that time if you are TTC. good luck

Answer 10

No, that is not mittleschmertz (pain with ovulation). You ovulate about 14 days before you start your period, regardless of your cycle length.
