Severe ovulation pain

Let's talk ovulation pain... does any other person get this. My ovulation test came back positive saturday night and today I have the most horrendous pains. I have had it over and over again. After lots of test i have adenomyosis and mittleschmerz. But the doctors don't really know what to do and there is no treatment. I have it for about 3 or 4 days every few months and I am so miserable. It hurts when I wee when I walk it's just awful. But I don't know many people that get this? Any one????

I would have a day of dull ache which I could cope with, but I’d also have 10-20mins every month where I would cry in pain it was so horrendous. It felt like my c section pain when I first tried to walk all over again. If I was driving I’d have to pull over! I put up with it for a year before I had scans that showed I had a few cysts. They recommended the coil and it hasn’t happened since!

Mine didn't start until after having babies but I've had scans and nothing has shown up.

Oh i get this! And I feel like I've been blown up by a bicycle pump? To the point that walking is agony because I feel like I might explode.

The only thing that fixes it for me is time, it seems to go in 24ish hours. Pisses me off so bad I have to go up a clothes size as my tummy gets so sore.

Yes! And like a couple of other posters I’ve only had it since having my first and only child 3 years ago. It’s a proper misery. I’m 41 though so wondered if it was a peri menopausal thing?

Oh god yes, it’s awful. Mine happens pretty much always on the left side, it’s so painful it takes my breath away and stops me dead in my tracks.
I do have PCOS, was scanned internally to confirm and was told my ovaries were riddled in cysts and looked like they were coated in popcorn. Was told my doctor would be in touch. 13 years later and I’m still waiting! Was also told the symptoms of PCOS can worsen with each child I had (3).
Delightful.
Sorry op and all other sufferers, no advice really just sending solidarity.
