It is Normal to have unbearable cramping a day or two after ovulation?


I believe I ovulated two days ago but today I have the most awful cramps, almost like period cramps. Is this noraml or is there something wrong?

Answers:
It's normal! It happens to me all the time, it's how I know I'm ovulating and how I got pregnant so easily. Although I am a bit concerned as to why it suddenly is happening to you. It should occur each month or every other month. You may have cyst on one of your ovaries.

I copied the explanation from WebMD. See below..

If it continues see your doctor.

Sexual Health:
Painful Ovulation (Mittelschmerz)

Mittelschmerz is the pelvic and lower abdominal pain that some women experience during ovulation. (Ovulation generally occurs about midway between menstrual cycles hence the term mittelschmerz, which comes from the German words for "middle" and "pain."

The pain of mittelschmerz can range from a mild twinge to severe discomfort and usually lasts from minutes to hours. It is generally felt on one side of the abdomen and may vary each month, depending on which ovary is releasing the egg during that cycle. In some cases, a small amount of vaginal bleeding or discharge may occur. Some women experience nausea, especially if the pain is severe.
