What does ovulation pain feel like?

[laceandlouboutins]

I've been kind of crampy/nauseated all day. This is around the time that I would be ovulating, but I typically don't have any pain.

Would something like that just come out of nowhere?

Like stabbing in your lower abdomen. I have endometriosis and really bad ovulation pain is one of my main symptoms.

Like being stabbed.

Yay! Reproductive organs!

I feel cramping, but low and painless. I know painless cramping doesn't make sense, but that's the only way I can describe it.

I can always tell when I'm ovulating though because I get super fuckibg horny.

I usually only feel pain in one ovary. I'm rarely nauseous, but it does happen on occasion.

I only ever felt it on one side. It was like a low, off center hard pinch from the inside.

[jane6672]

It doesn't happen every time for me, so it always takes me by surprise.

"What is haaaaappening?!?! Oh... yeah"

Like dying.

Sharp, stabbing dying.

This isn't stabbing pain, so maybe it's not ovulation pain?

[Jalapeñomel]

For me, it's a stabbing pain way low by my pubic bone and lasts for a minute or less. It's always shocking when it happens to me, and I get it like every other month.

I get a stabbing pain, but it is not really severe. It is off to the side and a lot different from AF type cramps.

[SugarKane]

For me it feels like the beginning of labor pains. My ovulation pain is worse than cramps

[TrudyCampbell]

I agree with a pinching/stabbing feeling on one side.

I also never felt ovulation pains before having S. At all.
