They are different for everyone, but I usually get sharp cramps right or left (alittle low) to my bellie button. Usually I get a headache or nausia with it, only lasts about an hour or two. I only feel them a few times a year, the rest of the year they go unnoticed.
Bit like a stitch I guess, as @tksjewelry said it's quite a sharp pain and I only get a few a year, maximum.
I get mine every month for one day. It basicially feels like pressure or tightening around my abdomen. The pain is not localized for me.
I get them every month and didn't realize what they were until I started charting (for my PCOS). They are sharp and are in the abdomen/ovary region for me.
I'm no help because I never actually got any, I instead paid more attention to the CM.
I don't feel it every month (or maybe just don't remember it) but when I do notice it, it's like a sharp pain right on one side of my abdomen or the other (like @tksjewelry it's to either side of my belly button but a little lower). I feel or for about a minute, off and on during the day, but it's usually only for one day. Off topic, but my sense of smell goes through the roof that day also...I avoid making anything that starts with raw meat (particularly chicken) because the smell makes me gag.
I have them every month, too. I usually feel them on the right side of my lower abdomen (but it can vary). They are sharp, but more of an annoyance than being a horrible pain.
@FutureMrsMck, my sense of smell is already very strong, so when I'm ovulating and PMSing it also crazy. I was on the train once and smelled the M&M peanuts that a guy at the other end of the train had opened. Raw turkey and beef also makes me want to puke.
@latoya: & @Mrs Sarah McK: Thanks for mentioning the increased sense of smell. I thought it was only me! Although I never noticed any of it until we started TTC!
So far I've noticed jabs to my right, lower abdomen and below my belly. Since I've never noticed these "pains" before, I was starting to get worried.
OP thanks for posting this!
Thanks everyone! So far I have gotten all 3 types of cramps during my cycle - weird running stitch off and on for 3 days on day 6, sharp little pains around day 14 ish last cycle - happened about 3 times over the course of 24 hours, and then crazy PMS cramps on day 28 (then again on day 1 of cycle). Was on the pill for 13 years so am trying to make sense of all of this!!
I get them every month, too - they're very regular and very good about switching sides. (Hopefully this means goods things for when I start TTC.) I would compare the pain to a dull running stitch at belly button level, but off to either side. It happens several times one day per month. I would say, though, it's not a bad pain and it doesn't come with the digestive tract pain that often accompanies cramps. It's just kind of a reminder that there is something going on in there.
I get them too, not every month but many months. I'd call it like a mildly painful twitch that for me, lasts in its most significant state only 5-10 minutes, but once it happens, it is mildly achy for awhile the remainder of the day/night. It is a very unique feeling. I am actually feeling it today and I believe I am ovulating today based on other signs too (I chart) so I can also say that for me, it is much lower than belly button level. More like if I make a triangle over my girl parts/bikini region by putting my two pointers and two thumbs together, its at the top side of that triangle.

Normal period cramps, sharp stabbing pains that are very localized, or a cramp like you might get when working out? Or, something else?
