Are You Experiencing Ovulation Pain?
There are various types of pains that we feel as human beings. We feel headaches, heartaches, menstruation cramps, childbirth, or even emotional pain. Ovulation pain is another type of pain that about 20% of women deal with monthly.
Sometimes this pain can be so severe that it has been confused with appendicitis or gas pains. To understand the difference, you need to be aware of the other symptoms that are occurring.
For example, ovulation pain usually happens a couple of weeks before menstruation. The pain is in the lower abdomen, just inside the hip bone. Depending on which ovary is releasing an egg, you can feel pain either on your left or right side.
Some women have pains that are cramp-like, while others have sharp, jabbing pain. Sometimes the pain can last through the next day after the egg has been released.
In some cases, there will be some nausea with some light spotting that last only a few hours, and even a few days.
Ovulation pain is due to blood leaking from the ovary when the egg is released. Temporarily, until it is reabsorbed, causes irritation to the abdominal wall. This is where the pain comes from.
The pain is different for every individual, and can be different from month to month in the same person depending on how much blood leaked out. One good thing to think about it that just because there is pain doesn’t necessarily mean anything is wrong.
Pain in this regard is a natural part of an ovulation cycle. Even if the pain is really bad, you should do your best to avoid anxiety or medical treatments. Instead, try relaxing, drink plenty of fluids, and check your temperature to make sure there isn’t an infection. Warm baths or heating pads can also help.
If pain persists for longer than 3 days, or if you have blood in your stool or vomit, there is reason to be concerned. Other symptoms that aren’t normal that will need medical attention include dizziness, high fever, difficulty urinating, breathing issues, or swelling in your abdomen.
Ovulation pain is not a huge issue even though it can cause some temporary discomfort. If you are trying to get pregnant, this pain is a good indication of fertility times.
If you are trying to treat the pain, you may want to chart your cycle so your doctor has a better idea of what is occurring in your body.

I feel so relieved after reading this article. I’ve been having this left side pain every 10-14 days b4 my menses. I thought i was having problem with my ovaries. Sometimes it felt like my left hipbone was the one paining me. I was confused. Now i feel better. Thanks alot.
What if I feel a sharp pain on both sides where my ovaries are?
I do feel a change in my body temperature during ovulation bt never with pain but this month its different,am feeling pain in my left side and i have been worried 4 hours now,but after reading your article i feel alot relieved.thank you.
Omg im so happy to have read this i came it started very gradually the pain on the right side then over a few hours was so intense i had to take somthing and go to sleep and hope to god it had gone when i woke which it had after 4hours, so does this mean i do baby making now
What if it only happens on the right side. Doesn’t happen every month. And when it does happen there is always a high fever. Really high, 103 to 104. Each time I’ve been diagnosed with the flu, or a kidney infection. This month when it happened again I thought there must be something else going on, because I’ve never been this sickly, so I started researching my symptoms and this is about as close as I’ve seem so far.
