Ovulation pains?

[Floopy21]

Hi, I've recently come off the pill (13 days ago), & my ovaries are aching quite painfully today. Can you actually 'feel' ovulation? Should it hurt? What else could it be?

Advice gratefully received!

I can sometimes feel it, yes. Feels like someone's jabbed me hard in the stomach.

I get them sometimes, not every cycle. And they can really hurt, like every step I take jars. Had some scans done last summer and ovaries normal and seemingly cyst free mid cycle so I don't think it's anything to worry about but if you are worried then the GP may refer you for a scan mid-cycle to check?

Thank you very much. Feels so silly asking about my bits at 29! Been on the pill for so long though...

me too for ovulation pains each month.

Feels like a mix of constipation and period pain on one side of lower tummy
