do you have cramping when you ovulate?

Answer 1

This is common and very normal. Your eggs are passing through your fallopian tubes as it is the middle of your cycle. This process is formally known as "Mittelschmerz" - middle of the month, or ovulation.

As one poster above can attest to, it usually occurs on one side of the lower abdomen. It's nothing to worry about unless your pain is severe or you are spotting blood as well.

Answer 2

Yes you can. You can have other period symptoms too. About 9 years ago I had this really bad cramp and I didn't know what it was. My mom thought I was my appendix, but when I went to the doctors they told me that some women get period symptoms when they ovulate and it was accually about two weeks since my last period. Since then I dont get it every month, but quite often I do get cramping when I ovulate.
