~ Ovulation Pain~

Ovulation is a phase of the female menstrual cycle, which involves the release of an egg (ovum) from one of the ovaries. For most women, ovulation occurs about once every month until menopause, apart from episodes of pregnancy and breastfeeding.

About one in five women experience pain and discomfort during ovulation. The duration of the pain varies from one woman to the next, but ranges from a few minutes to 48 hours. In most cases, ovulation pain doesn’t mean that anything is wrong. However, severe pain may sometimes be symptomatic of gynaecological conditions including endometriosis. See your doctor if your ovulation pain lasts longer than three days or is associated with other unusual menstrual symptoms, such as heavy bleeding. Ovulation pain is also known as mid-cycle pain and mittelschmerz (German for ‘middle pain’).

Symptoms
The symptoms of ovulation pain can include:

Pain in the lower abdomen, just inside the hip bone.
The pain typically occurs about two weeks before the menstrual period is due.
The pain is felt on the right or left side, depending on which ovary is releasing an egg.
The pain may switch from one side to the other from one cycle to the next, or remain on one side for a few cycles.
The pain sensation varies between individuals - for example, it could feel like uncomfortable pressure, twinges, sharp pains or cramps.
The duration of pain ranges anywhere from minutes to 48 hours.
Theories on possible causes
The exact cause of ovulation pain is not clear, but theories include:
Emerging follicle - hormones prompt the ovaries to produce around 20 follicles. Each follicle contains an immature egg (ovum) but only one follicle usually survives to maturity. It is supposed that ovulation pain is caused by the expanding follicle stretching the membrane of the ovary.
Ruptured follicle - when the egg is mature, it bursts from the follicle. This may cause slight bleeding. The peritoneum (abdominal lining) could be irritated by the blood or fluids from the ruptured follicle, and this may trigger the pain.
Underlying medical problems
In most cases, ovulation pain is harmless. However, severe and prolonged ovulation pain, or other pains felt in the lower abdomen, can be symptomatic of various medical conditions including:
Salpingitis - inflammation of the fallopian tubes following an infection.
Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease - inflammation following an infection.
Endometriosis - the lining of the womb (endometrium) grows in other locations, such as the bowel. Other symptoms include painful periods and painful sex.
Ovarian cyst - an abnormal pocket of fluid that develops on the ovary.
Ectopic pregnancy - a pregnancy that develops outside of the womb, most commonly in one of the fallopian tubes. Symptoms include cramping, abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding. Seek urgent medical help.
Appendicitis - inflammation of the appendix can sometimes be confused with ovulation pain. Seek urgent medical help if the pain is on the right side of your abdomen and you are experiencing nausea and vomiting.
Other gastrointestinal problems - lower abdominal pain can be symptomatic of a range of gastrointestinal problems, including perforated ulcer, gastroenteritis and inflammatory bowel disease.

Answer 5

Every month like clockwork, I could tell you which side I was ovulating on, as I would get pain in that side, so, yes, you can get pain from ovulation

Answer 6

Guys what is the pull out method? Some women are sensitive to their bodies and feel when they ovulate. It could be period like cramps or sharp pains in the ovaries, so you probably ovulated, good luck xxx

Thanks for the answer Bubby, x

Answer 7

Alot of women get cramps during ovulation, and/or a sharp pain in one side.

Its normal.

Answer 8

Yes, ovulation pain is possible.

If you're using the pull out method it would probably be smart to chart your cycles, too. If you do that you'll know when it's unsafe to have intercourse. If you had sex 1 day ago, there's a good chance you have some sperm in there with that egg. Doesn't mean you'll for sure conceive, but sperm can live up to 5 days in fertile cervical mucus, and trust me when I say it only takes one.

Answer 9

Teri P, the pull out method is when the man doesn't use protection (condom) and pulls out of the woman a few seconds before ejaculation. Although some may think it is a form of bc, I know about 3 women who have had pregnancies because of it.

Answer 10

You might feel a sharp pain on ur left or right side. Also feel some cramps, that feel like ones you get when you get ur period.
