Am I ovulating?
Answers:
The twinge *could* be a sign of ovulation. If so, you would need to have sex *immediately* or it will be too late. (And it might be too late anyway.) The problem is that it takes sperm a few hours to reach the Fallopian tube (where fertilization takes place), and the egg only lives for a few hours. There is no way to know which will happen first--death of the egg or appearance of the sperm. (And it may not be ovulation at all.)
You need to time sex for the 2 days before ovulation to have the best possible chance of conceiving. You can learn to chart your signs of fertility pretty easily if you want to increase your chances of getting pregnant; please read _Taking Charge of Your Fertility_ by Toni Weschler for detailed explanations.
Good luck!!

Ovulation Pain~
Ovulation pain, also know as "Mettleshmertz", which literally translates to "Middle Pain", can occur before, during and/or after ovulation occurs, which is why ovulation pain is normally considered to be a secondary fertility sign, used to help pinpoint ovulation, when utilized in conjunction with primary fertility signs, such as temperature, cervical fluid observations and cervical position.
Ovulation pain occurs in the pelvic region, below or near the hip bones, on one or both sides of the pelvis. The difference in sensation can help many women distinguish where they are in their cycles. For instance...
When some women have a dull ache on one or both sides, or an alternating achiness, that often means that ovulation is going to occur soon and the ovaries are swelling with follicles.
When a sharp, quick, stabbing pain occurs, that often means ovulation is taking place right at that time, and the sharp pain is from the egg shooting out of the follicle very, very quickly.
The third kind of pain happens after ovulation has already taken place, and it like a nagging ache on *one side, which some describe as a "pulled muscle-kind-of-feeling", which relates to the corpus luteum (the left over shell from the egg, which, when it was whole, was considered a follicle) being left behind on the ovary as a temporary cyst, in order to produce Progesterone until the end of the luteal phase, or the end of the pregnancy, whichever the case may be.
(*Although with fraternal twins or multiples, a woman could ache on both sides if she ovulated from both sides that cycle.)

It sounds like you could be releasing an egg, hence the side pain, but you should go online and try to calculate your ovulation. I would start BD'ing right away. You are probably feeling ovulation pains which means you are O'ing. Go ahead and TTC. Now would be the best time. Probably the peak time.
