I've always gotten it, and it was noticeable even before I started TTC. Interestingly, it was always worse when I was ovulating from my left side. Every woman is different. For me, though, I would actually have several days of dull pain in my ovary leading up to O. On the day of O, I would sometimes feel a pinching sensation and other times not. I believe the dull pain leading up to O was just the follies being stimulated in preparation to release the egg.
Also, cysts can cause pain around O time as well. The increasing estrogen can flare the cysts, causing more pain than usual. So sometimes "O" pain is just cyst pain. Cysts are incredibly common, too.
