Those that feel O pain

*~ Joni ~* · #1 October 18th, 2010, 07:19 PM

How long do you usually feel it? I usually feel it each month off and on for just one day. This month I'm on day 5 of my left ovary kicking my butt! It feels just like my normal O pain but it's lasting forever. There shouldn't be a cyst on it or anything. Had an u/s 2 weeks ago and they looked at everything including both ovaries and there wasn't any problems or abnormalities. Anyone else had this or have any thoughts?

Did you do a trigger shot? When I O on my own( almost never) I do feel O pain but it is like you said off and on maybe for a whole day but normally a few hours . When I take the trigger shot it lasts and lasts sometimes for a few days but I am not sure if it is still ovulation or the irratation from multipule follies .

Nope no trigger shot.

When I have O pain it only lasts a few mins to a few hours.

Mine has lasted a few days depending on the cycle. Yesterday I had horrible O pains from my left side and it last all day. Today I still feel sore but not unbearable!

My O pain varies widely. I always have it, but sometimes it is only a couple hours, sometimes a whole day, and sometimes several days. The doc says it depends on where the follicle develops and how firmly it is attached when it starts to break away from the ovary. I saw a video of ovulation once and it is a pretty violent process, it is amazing that more people don't feel more pain. This cycle I was sore for about 36 hours. When I woke up yesterday morning it was gone, indicating that I had, in fact, ovulated. That is usually how I tell, the pain stops.

I would tend to say that nothing is wrong, since they just checked your ovaries and did not see any cysts or abnormal growths. Those tend to take a little while to develop to a painful point. See what happens in the next couple days and if the pain persists, I would call the doc to ease your mind. It might just have been a really violent ovulation/attachment. So it could be nothing. But it is good you are taking it seriously, just in case it IS something.

ETA: This is your first O after the miscarriage? That does have a really big effect on all aspects of your body. My first O and first period after my "big" loss (the 12 week one) was enough to kill me. It was the hormonal shifts that caused it to be so much worse. I would not worry this cycle, since you just had the M/C. If it continues into other cycles, I would talk to the doc.

Yep 1st O after 10 week loss. I'm just hoping it's not gearing up to send off 12 eggs or something!

My ovulation since weaning Patrick and getting my cycle back has been killer. I start getting pains a few days before O, and then the day of, the pain starts increasing until I have killer want-to-take-myself-to-the-ER type really sharp pain. The first time I O'd again after Patrick I nearly did take myself to the ER. And then it stopped. I still had a dull ache for a day or so afterward, but nothing like the throbbing sharp stabbing pain I get when I actually O.

But it usually builds over 3 or 4 days.
