so we have found out i have mittelshmerz
what is it?
some women also experience mid-cycle (ovulation) pain, usually beginning in their middle to late teens (although it can begin later) Painful ovulation, when severe, is referred to as mittelschmerz, a German word that means "middle pain." Most women who experience painful ovulation usually report a nagging pain that begins as a sharp twinge and diminishes into a dull ache for the next day or so While the discomfort can occur on either side of the abdomen, it is more commonly experienced on the right. Mittelschmerz can occur during intercourse or it can be aggravated by intercourse, working out or other physical activity. In addition to pain, some women also experience gastrointestinal symptoms and increased frequency of urination. It is not associated with endometriosis, in which the pain occurs at the onset of the menstrual period rather than in mid-cycle. It may occur every month, but more typically occurs every third to fourth cycle most feel a mild pressure or twinge lasting a few hours. But "for a rare few, the pain is intense and can last for days"
