okay, so i went to the hospital yesturday morning because i was getting pains in my hips like on the front, and i thought they were from my appendix, but she told me it was because i was ovilating (sp?) because the pain comes same time every month but not during my period (thats a whole different pain unforuently.) anyways i dont know if i trust what i hear, everytime i feel this pain it scares me and i still think something is wrong i dont know if im just paranoid or what but i dont trust the doctors in my city (i have a very good excuse to not trust them, believe me.) i just dont feel safe livin here cuz i feel i could be dieing and the doctors wouldnt care (my grandmother went thru it.)anyways, does this happen to any of you?? i just really need to know. thanks

I would recommend getting another opinion, but from a dr in a different town since you don't trust the drs in your area.
When I started my journey with chronic pain in 1997 I had a few drs try to tell me nothing was wrong, that it was in my head and stuff like that as well as trying to blame it on my IBS when it turned out my problem was actually endometriosis. I have other issues besides my endometeriosis now but it was very frustrating at the time.

I dont personally get the pains but my sister does. I think it if fairly common for girls to have some syptoms during ovulation. I always get a sick feeling, but others have pain. I woudn't worry about it, expecially if it happens during the same time every month. But if you are still concerned, try recording the pains for a few more months to make sure they are happening at the same times. Then go see another doctor. Good Luck!

I know some women who can feel the egg being released but I havent heard of it being this painful. Dont ever be afraid to get a second opinion...its your body. I will be interested to see what everyone else says

You are not dying! This happens to me every month. Some people when they ovulate get what feels somewhat like cramps. It's nothing to worry about, you're going to live. You'll just have to live with that little bit of pain every month! There's nothing you can do for it!!!

Look up this word online: mittelschmertz. It's the word for the pain that occurs when ovulating. Loosely translated, it means "pain in the mid-cycle". It is a real word used in physiology textbooks.
