Should ovulation hurt this bad?? I am pretty sure I am ovulating... but holy crap.. I am cramping really bad..anyone else get really bad O pain?

__________________

I usually had O pain aprox every other cy when I was younger.. But it was only severe b/c I had a huge cyst on one ovary After that was removed I would say it was uncomfortable but not painful really. I had an ectopic pg a few years back and stopped Oing for about a year and 1/2 after it.. Took a low dose of clomid to get things back up and running and the 1st cy I oed HOLY CRAPOLA! Talk about blowing the dust of my rusted up system b/c it HURT

Anyway, I have heard women say their usual O was uncomfortable, like a pinch or needle pricks.. Sharp GWIM?.. Some say it's like dull cramping or aching. And it was usually short lived (not longer then briefly, couple hours, not longer then 1/2 a day usually) I would say if O is "painful" or comes w/ more cramping/discomfort then usual, maybe a quick trip to the doc and ask about it??

Well.. I am not sure what it was.. I just O'd yesterday.. or last night..so there were 2 days of weird cramping pains.. it wasn't lasting a long time.. but was happening more then just once.. kwim? I KNOW I get cysts.. I am wondering if I have one on my left ovary and it is just getting really tender around O.. the pain is gone now..HMMM.. might call and talk to my MW about it.

Well, if you get cysts.. It may be a good idea.. I know having the odd cyst is no problem for most women (they kinda come and go and some stay and are not a problem)...But hey, if it's making O not so fun.. Looking into it may be a good plan.

Ever since I went off of the low dose birth control and stopped nursing dd last Sept., I have had bad ovulation pain lasting 2-4 days. The cramping is worse then af. I have had several tests done- laparoscopy 4/06, CT scan of pelvis 7/06, cystoscopy 7/06, Dr wants to do bladder biopsy to see if it is interstitial cystitis, and a sigmoidoscopy 7/06 to make sure the pain wasnt from irritable bowel. I know its somehow related to ovulation because thats when I get the pain. Interestingly enough, I had an anovulatory cycle in July and didnt have the pain. Anyway, I think I know what youre going through. Talk to your Dr or MW and good luck finding answers. Keep us updated.
