Ovulation- PAIN??

Ok- so this doesn't happen every month but sometimes I get the most EXCRUTIATING pain low down on one or the other side of my tummy- kind of where I assume my ovaries are?? I double over in agony even if I'm walking- it's like a knife is being twisted in. It happened once during a French GCSE and I had to leave- the school nurse just said it was a 'spasming fallopian tube' I KID YOU NOT :eek:

but it happens every now and then...do you think this is ovulation and if so WHY does it hurt so bad and not every month and what can I do??

Thanks for reading and sorry if it's gross but it's not as bad as some threads in here!! :rolleyes:

A twisted fallopian tube? They come up with new and exciting things to go wrong every single day!

Wow you're not anonymous, good on you. Neither am I :biggrin:

I can't say I'm the same but I do feel some pain sometimes. I am too a little bit worried about it. It goes away soon and doesn't come back until the next cycle (I struggle to say whether I feel it every cycle or not) and it's not that bad anyway, it's in a very specific place, like someone grabed my [presumably] ovaries and twisted them, but it's not exactly sharp or "excruciating".

Sorry for the useless post... Should I be worried? All the best xx

I sometimes feel pain when I ovulate though not as bad as what you've described. Only a few women feel pain but I dont think its anything to worry about. If it really bothers you, you could try the combined pill which prevents ovulation.

I didnt' see the point in anon :biggrin:

all girls have to ovulate!! If it was something like 'OMG- I have a SQUIRREL stuck up my nose' I may consider anon!!

It's not every time for me either- I'd say it's only happen 4 times in nearly 10 years of periods...For me it lasts about an hour...the grabbing is that same for me but also stabbing....really sharp, lasting about a minute each times with about 4 minute intervals...I looked like a RIGHT muppet collapsing every 5 mins at Uni of Friday...the people around were like WTF I was like....'erm....hunger cramps....HEHE....' :redface:

Not useless- don't worry- I want to know if I should be worried too- I don't want to go to the doctor as I've not registered yet and I can't really be bothered!! :rolleyes:

Are there any side-effects to that?? Thanks for your reply. :smile:

I've never taken the combined pill myself so I'm not sure about side effects. I'd ask your doctor or check out some of the threads here.

Hm I think it happens quite often with me, may be not every time but more like 2 out of 3 or something! I do have some syndrome from birth because of which I get awful leg cramps when I do no excercise for a long time, do a lot of excercise for a short time or when I'm on my period :frown:

It sucks big time, hurts so much I cry. And I get the most awful period pains. So I guess I'm more likely to experience ovulation pain as well?
Combined Pill sounds serious, I'm sure it must have some effect on fertility if taken for a long enough time? I'm too paranoid to go on the pill :rolleyes:

and my pain is not so long-lasting anyway. And it's nothing compared to period pain. So I think I'll be altright :redface:

Oh, and hunger cramps? :biggrin:

When I'm rolling on the floor in pain and crying out loud when my period comes on I blame it on my leg cramps :rolleyes:

for the sanity of my brother. Thank god for Ibuprofen for making the roling time so much shorter! :smile:

I used to get the most AWFUL growing pains so I sympathise with your cramps...I HATE cramps... :mad:

I too have CHRONIC period pains which can take me out completely for days at a time- NOTHING helps I normally crawl into a SCORCHING bath/curl up around a SCORCHING hot water bottle and cry...LOUDLY...

I'm too scared to go on anything to- nothing to do with fertility (HATE kids) but because I don't like the idea of messing around with my body...

I've got some extra strong Ibruprofen which is meant to last 12 hours- if you take that with paracetamol (hope you can safely do that :confused:

) it takes the edge of the pain- for me anyway.... :rolleyes:

Thanks for your replies!! :biggrin:

It's called Mittelschmerz if you want to look it up. Happens to about 20% of women, some worse that others

A hormonal birth control which prevents ovulation may help, but it doesn't really cause any problems - and it'll be handy if you want to try for kids in the future

a couple of months ago I got the worst pains I've ever felt in my life, I was lying in bed and I seriously couldn't move because it hurt so bad. I almost cried :frown:

I was so worried because I didn't know what was wrong, the next day my period started and luckily it hasnt happened again

I get them, normally when I get them it means my period is going ot be heavier and more painful - but when I went on the pill it calmed them down - I still get period pains and occasions ovulation pains, but never as bad as they were. And the pill made my periods lighter as well :wink:

I might change my pill though..the pains been getting worse recently..

Its not really due to ovulation, I think you're nurse is right by saying a spazeming (twitching/aggitated) fallopean tube. You only release one egg at a time, and its too small to cause any pain. Its nothing serious, although if it really gets a problem, go to the docs.

i get the exact same feeling. It feels about as bad as period pains...but its not the same pain. It feels sometimes like i can actually feel it travelling down my tube. how rank is that?
