Is it called middleshmirtz or something?

I noticed this once or twice when I was really tracking and testing for ovulation with OPKs!

I'm sure you could dtd at this time, but I think it's also good to do it before you are ovulating? I relied on the OPKs

I get a slight ache (on my left side this month and on both sides last month) but it comes after O. From my reading, I have deduced that it could be a kind of bruising following the ovulation. Some people, however, say that they feel pains at the point of O. Either way, get BDing BEFORE you feel the pains as it can take sperm about 12 hours to get up to the fallopian tubes and become ready to penetrate the egg.

Ive always had pretty noticable ovulation pains. Mine feel like a twinge or twisting sensation.

I had a sharp burst of pain at cd6 but my predicted O day wasnt until the 15th. I googled and searched and I found that your ovaries or ovary can be expelling extra fluid or something in preperation to Ovulating. I think if C,M(eggwhite) is present and you feel this sharp pain its definatley a sign your ovualting.

Prior to pregnancy, I could always tell when I was ovulating because I'd feel the twinge/dull stab on my left side every month (Lord, help me if I'm just not feeling the right and I'm in line for twins one day!). Also, the day or two before my period shows up, my actual vagina will feel a stab or cramp or two. Annoying, but it's nice to have a warning.

@Snowdrop: We have twins in my family, which, of course, no one decided to tell me until AFTER we got our . Thankfully, my OB is super nice and gave us an US at 9 weeks just to be sure. Eep! Just one this time.
