What you are probably experiencing is called Mittelschmerz. Mittelschmerz is a German word which translated literally means "middle pain." Other words you may hear include: ovulation pain, midcycle pain, menstrual, middle pain, or cramps.
Mittelschmerz occurs during ovulation when an egg is released by the ovaries into the fallopian tube. For about twenty percent of women this causes severe pain and cramps on one side of the lower abdomen. Although the pain may feel like something serious is wrong, midcycle pain or cramps -- Mittelschmerz is rarely serious.
Occasionally, in addition to midcycle pain and cramping, some women may experience nausea, and/or light menstrual spotting. Mittelschmerz lasts for 6 to 8 hours in most women; however, occasionally it can last as long as twenty-four to forty-eight hours.
I get this every month - pretty much since I first started my cycle. It sure helps when you are trying to determine ovulation when you are trying to get pregnant or avoid it.

please, dont get too worried about it. Because l had the same experience and it took me a long time to discover that it was ovulation pain. l was treated severally for PID thinking it was it. But be rest assured that its Ovulation pain its normal it will disappear gradually on its own. Goodluck.

I get the same thing. I will feel like a cramping but no period and then I will start ovulating. But no period in three years. I was pregnant and now I am breastfeeding. Still no period.

It means that you are ovulating. It's perfectly normal. It is also normal to bleed when you ovulate. It does not mean that you have a problem. Good luck!

My pain is from ovarian cysts. Some are worse than others. You get cysts then they pop and your egg will be directed in the area it is supposed to. Some are more intense than others or larger.

IT has a name...I'm not sure of the spelling...I think its mettlesmirch. All you are feeling is the ovary releasing an egg.
