Ovulation?

---

ok since yesterday ive been having a relly sharp pain in my uterus. im 18, and i should be ovulating at this time of the month,but i dont know if this pain is from ovulating. it hurts so bad!! can anyone help me with this one?and another thing, (for the girls), when you ovulate, do you get the pain on only one side? cuz ever since i have been having my period (8 years), its been mostly on my right side of my uterus. thanx for your help

It's normal to get pains in your abdomen when ovulating. The side you get the pain is the ovary that is ovulation. If it's severe, you should perhaps talk to your doctor to make sure there aren't any other issues at hand like cysts (PCOS) or something lke that.

I would definitely speak to your doctor just to put your mind at rest, as i have never had ovulation pain, and i have PCOS and don't get any pain, i know it does happen for some women, but its best to get it checked over.

well it was severe but the pain is gone now. ill keep this updated if it starts again..

i would go to the doctor but i dont have the pain anymore. if it continues however i will..would being sexually active cause this? i mean....we use protection and all that,and we dont have sex very often anyways..

It may very well start again next month, at the same place in your cycle that it started this time. If it does, a gyno visit is in order.

yeah i guess so. im just so afraid of doctors..

It's only natural hon to be apprehensive of going to the doctors, but you have to look past that, there will be plenty of times in your life that you will need to go, they are their to help...........get yourself in the right frame of mind that they arn't scary and you'll be fine.

i guess so ...but even the thought of going to the doctors hurts my stomach...i have a very weak stomach..the smell of a hospital makes me want to puke. i know i just need to suck it up..but im just paranoid...like...what kind of tests would they need to do? (not a pap smear i hope!!!!)
