And it was very subtle. Only when I was ttc and really paying attention could I feel it. I'd usually feel pain for a day or two. At least twice O was confirmed on ultrasound as the same side I was feeling the pain, but that's the only way I knew for sure because it was so subtle! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-ovulation-feel-like#post-1347307 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 18:00:47 +0000 Sunshine710 1347307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine feels like painful cramps </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-ovulation-feel-like#post-1347291 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 17:53:42 +0000 looch 1347291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raspberries: it is literally "middle pain" in German. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-ovulation-feel-like#post-1347242 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 17:35:01 +0000 raspberries 1347242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@thismustbetheplace: I had no idea it was called mittelschmerz! I was thinking, "How in the world did 'ovulation' autocorrect to 'mittelschmerz'?" until I saw @mrsjazz: post it as well, and then I googled. So interesting! I also don't think I've ever felt it before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-ovulation-feel-like#post-1347237 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 17:33:52 +0000 spaniellove 1347237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't worry too much if you can't feel it...some people swear they know when they've ovulated based on the pain, but actually the pain can happen days before or after! So it's not the most accurate way to pinpoint ovulation anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-ovulation-feel-like#post-1347184 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 17:15:39 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1347184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine usually feels like light period cramps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-ovulation-feel-like#post-1346667 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 14:59:19 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1346667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Based on the descriptions everyone has so kindly shared, I am pretty sure that I cannot feel myself ovulate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-ovulation-feel-like#post-1346661 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 14:58:24 +0000 mlm2934 1346661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a sharp pain near ovulation, but it's sometimes 1-2 days before I ovulate. My CM usually becomes creamy vs EWCM within 1-2 days after ovulation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-ovulation-feel-like#post-1346571 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 14:43:09 +0000 mrsjazz 1346571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mittelschmerz! I'm one of those unlucky women that can always feel ovulation. I usually have an ache in the uterine area, like I'm about to get my period and sometimes sharp, pulling pains. I usually feel it on my right side and one of the reasons I thought I might be pregnant when I was was because I felt a weird sensation on my left ovary (I never feel that one!)</p> <p>One time it was so bad I thought I had appendicitis. It can last days sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-ovulation-feel-like#post-1346517 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 14:33:55 +0000 mrs bunchy 1346517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have only felt it on my right side since taking clomid. It feels like a pinching/twisting in the ovary for 3-5 mins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-ovulation-feel-like#post-1341812 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 11:58:40 +0000 lemondrop 1341812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bloated, then an achy pinching feeling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-ovulation-feel-like#post-1341806 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 11:57:33 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1341806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine almost feels like a kidney infection for about 4-6 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-ovulation-feel-like#post-1341805 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 11:57:24 +0000 looch 1341805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't feel anything, I never have. I had to use OPKs to confirm I was ovulating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-ovulation-feel-like#post-1341797 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 11:54:52 +0000 thismustbetheplace 1341797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me, mittelschmerz felt like a sharp, focused, pulling/pinching pain on whichever side I was (presumably) ovulating from that month. It usually went away in a matter of minutes, and I definitely didn't feel it every month. It was very low in my pelvis, about 1-1.5 inches below the line my hipbones make across my body. </p> <p>Hope this helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-ovulation-feel-like#post-1341770 Mon, 13 Jan 2014 11:47:36 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1341770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband'husband's bff said his wife can tell when she ovulates and of course mine wanted to know if I could too. Freak if I know??</p> <p>Pretty regularly I feel pain near my Left side rib cage. I haven't tracked this before to determine if this happens during certain times during the month. But, now I am curious is this pain coupled with my CM mean I am ovulating?</p> <p>So, for those of you who know via physical symptoms when you ovulate what does it feel like? </p>
