Horrifically painful and weird ovulation this month

I'm definitely ovulating, the pain started on Monday, a slight twinge in my left ovary area. I had pain in my right ovary last month and had a positive opk, so must be the left's turn this month!

Now fast forward to today, Saturday. All week the pain has been getting steadily worse, now urinating and pooing causes lots of pain in the lower left side - a mix of sharp and dull. I can't explain it. It feels like there's something in there. I have pains down my thighs too. Keep passing gas, that also hurts.
I have EWCM and I'm weeing quite a lot.

Taken two ibuprofen and using a hot water bottle.

Surely ovulation pains shouldn't continue for 5 days?!

Go to the doctor! Even if it turns out not to be cysts at least you'll know.

@fruitcocktail6 I did consider that. What do I need to do about it?

Is it perhaps an ovarian cyst? I had some in the right ovary and had a scan, they've gone now but they did cause pain.

@LovePinaColada
Like what? You've got me worried now. I just thought it was a painful ovulation. Sorry, I'm easily worried about my health x

Sounds like it could be an entirely different issue away from TTC, sounds very painful & I guess too painful for ovulation. I would maybe phone the docs if you are still struggling Monday. Hope you feel better soon.
