No. It sounds like you may have a cyst or endometriosis on your right side. Each month, both ovaries produce follicles, which causes both ovaries to swell. Which side produces the egg each month should alternate, so the fact that you are feeling the pain on the same side each month makes me think you have some sort of growth on that side that is causing you pain when your right ovary swells.

I have endometriosis that is mostly growing in and around my right ovary and tube. Before I had it removed, I experienced excruciating pain around O and during BD on that side.

I would definitely see your doctor - they will likely do an u/s to see if you have a cyst or fibroids on that side, and may ask you some questions to see if you have risk factors for/symptoms of endo (family history, heavy periods, painful periods, etc.). Unfortunately, endo can only be diagnosed with surgery - it won't show up on an u/s. Not to scare you, but I ignored my pain for a really long time while TTC - turns out that both of my tubes were blocked and I needed to have surgery to remove the endo and clear one of my tubes (the other is shot) before we conceived. I wish I had listened to my body earlier - it would have made TTC shorter and I wouldn't have had to go through so much pain.

I agree, you should definitely talk to your doctor about it, it could be a cyst.

I think you should speak to a doctor. Pain during sex (especially "unbearable" pain) is not normal.

I have ovulation pain as well, but it doesn't necessarily hurt more during sex. I agree with others, call your doctor and have it checked out.

I would go with the gynecologist over the pcp. They are used to dealing with those types of issues. Good luck getting some answers!

@mrskoloa: that's a real issue. See the gyn, tell them everything... Then let us know what they say.

Good luck, I hope your dr's will be able to find a way to help you feel better. I had 2 dermoid cysts removed about 3 years ago, and I was amazed at how much better I felt!
