Ovulation pain!!! So bad

I experience the worse ovulation pain ever. I can hardly walk when it's happening. I literally just had to take two paracetamol.

I've always had pain when am ovulating, but the last month and this ( current as I type) it's been so bad.
When I do try to walk I have to do so gingerly.

Am I the only going through this?

I have horrendous pain when I ovulate too - I have endometriosis, and pain during ovulation is one of the symptoms. It may be something worth investigating.

I have this - much worse on the right that the left. Right is unbearably bad - sweats, nausea, I feel like I want to throw up and the day after I have an upset stomach and bloating.

I had fertility treatment years ago (DC are 8 and 10 now) and was told during scanning and treatment that the pain is fluid being released into the abdominal cavity. I didn’t realise that the ovaries and Fallopian tubes aren’t actually joined together in one piece there is a gap!!

@Bumblebei thanks for replying. Oh my your pain sounds horrendous. Next time I will try the cold relief and see if it helps.

@motherofdinosau thanks for replying. I am glad to know that I am not the only one.
Sitting and laying down is really is uncomfortable.
Is it the same for you every month?

I feel the ovulation pains each month but some months they are so painful. I’ve had times I have just lay on the floor tiles for cold relief for hours (mad I know). This month it was one of the worst I’ve had, the pain literally took my breath away and I was on all fours on the sofa panting through the pain as I couldn’t move 🙁

You sre not alone. My ovulation pain is horrendous. I fins it uncomfortable to sit, walk or lay. I ovulated last weekend and it woke me in the night was so intense and had to take some paracetamol. The only way i can get comfy is to sort of squat or sit on the loo.
