Ovulation

---

My gf says that she can feel when she ovulates and from which side. Can all females feel this or just some?

i don't ovulate cause i have pcos, and on birth control but when i did ovulate i could feel the pain on the side of ovulation. u can't actually feel the egg but you can feel the pain

I know when im ovulating cause my bladder is a pain to deal with

Does anyone have any discharge when you ovulate?

all women have a montly dischard, some heavier, different consisentcy, and different color then others. whether its related to ovulating, i have no idea.

a woman's discharge changes with ovulation

Some women get an ovulation pain, but most don't.

The egg is released from the ovary by the end of the Fallopian tube rubbing it raw, so perhaps that causes the pain. But most women don't feel anything.

I've never felt it, i didn't realise you could......

In reply to:Some women get an ovulation pain, but most don't.I was with a woman who had pain every other month, when one of her ovaries was active.

About one in five women experience pain and discomfort during ovulation. The duration of the pain varies from one woman to the next, but ranges from a few minutes to 48 hours. In most cases, ovulation pain doesn't mean that anything is wrong. However, severe pain may sometimes be symptomatic of gynaecological conditions including endometriosis. See your doctor if your ovulation pain lasts longer than three days or is associated with other unusual menstrual symptoms, such as heavy bleeding. Ovulation pain is also known as mid-cycle pain and mittelschmerz (German for 'middle pain').SymptomsThe symptoms of ovulation pain can include:Pain in the lower abdomen, just inside the hip bone.The pain typically occurs about two weeks before the menstrual period is due.The pain is felt on the right or left side, depending on which ovary is releasing an egg.The pain may switch from one side to the other from one cycle to the next, or remain on one side for a few cycles.The pain sensation varies between individuals - for example, it could feel like uncomfortable pressure, twinges, sharp pains or cramps.The duration of pain ranges anywhere from minutes to 48 hours.Theories on possible causesThe exact cause of ovulation pain is not clear, but theories include:Emerging follicle - hormones prompt the ovaries to produce around 20 follicles. Each follicle contains an immature egg (ovum) but only one follicle usually survives to maturity. It is supposed that ovulation pain is caused by the expanding follicle stretching the membrane of the ovary.Ruptured follicle - when the egg is mature, it bursts from the follicle. This may cause slight bleeding. The peritoneum (abdominal lining) could be irritated by the blood or fluids from the ruptured follicle, and this may trigger the pain.http://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/bhcv2/bhcarticles.nsf/pages/Ovulation_pain?Open

A while back I posted about a pain on the left side of my groin. Turns out it's pain from ovulation according to my doctor.
