Constant dull ache shortly after ovulation

Have been TTC for a couple months. Haven't been tracking ovulation but was expecting it was about 3 days ago. For the past 5 days I've had dull ache in pelvis area, kinda full feeling. This doesn't sound like an early pregnancy symptom and I swear it's too early anyway? Has anyone else had this?

Worried it's something else, like infection or worse, but because I'm TTC I feel like waiting to see if it goes away/ if I am pregnant is the best step. When I was pregnant with my first I got frequent 'twinges' but they were like super mild cramps that past in a few seconds, which is different from this, as this is basically constant (but mild). The twinges last time only started at about 5 weeks pregnant, not immediately after ovulation

I've actually got that at the moment but was thinking it was maybe my period coming. Who knows 🤔

I get that too some cycles. It’s basically your body reacting to releasing an egg and the rise in progesterone, honestly nothing to be worried about

It's probably Mittelschmerz. Ovulation pain.

Update: turns out I'm pregnant, so guessing it related to that

Still most likely not, your body did it as a response to ovulating you just so happened to also get pregnant this cycle. Until you implant your body doesn’t even know it’s pregnant. Congrats though.
