Kathryn Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 If you cramp when you ovulate, what is it like? This is my third cycle off of BCP and each time on day 14 or 15 I've had about twelve hours straight of cramping. But, it's right in the middle, not on one side like everything I read online says ovulation cramping should be. So, is this what's going on, or just a really strange coincidence?

Mrs Mungo Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Mine is to the side and stabby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrothead Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 It isn't so much a cramp as it is a pain from when the ovary pops out the egg. Generally it is on one side or the other. And like Mrs. Mungo said, short and stabbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catz Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I don't always have it, but I had it clearly short and stabbing a couple days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saddlemomma Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Yep....only I just cramp mostly on the right side. I always know when I'm ovulating. When I get the "signs" that ovulation is starting, I immediately start taking two Advil every 4 hours as needed (I get severe cramping and this is what the doctor prescribed.) If I do that and stay ahead of it, I'm golden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessMommy Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Sounds normal to me too. I had the same thing. My ovulation cramping was usually worse than my period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Mine is to the side and stabby. Yep. I usually get the on sided stabby pain. Lately, however, I sometimes get more general cramping . . .enough that I wonder if my period is here early. It never is, but it's a change in my cycle that I've noticed . . .you know . . . cause I'm 40 now and OLD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedmom4 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 My ovulation pain is usually much worse than my actual period. Mine is usually on one side but is very achy and occasionally stabby. It is very uncomfortable at time and usually only lasts 6-12 hours. There are times when it is uncomfortable to walk and I feel a lot if pressure. The joys of womanhood!!!!

Mergath Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I get the one-sided stabby pain, too. It doesn't last too long though, and it comes and goes. I know that's what it is because when I've had an ovarian cyst rupture, the pain was in the exact same place but it lasted longer and was a million times worse.

happypamama Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Stabby, definitely. Starts as a dull ache for a few days, and then it's very stabby uncomfortable one day. And then completely gone the next (sometimes even after a few hours, but it disappears suddenly and completely). Usually more on one side than the other, but middle-ish.

WiseOwlKnits Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I never had ovulation pain until after Mia was born, but mine is in the middle too. It's about 3 days of feeling increasingly uncomfortable and then part of a day of cramps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delighted3 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Mine is usually acute pain for about an hour, then tenderness for about a day after. It is usually in the middle. Joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
