Can anyone tell me what o pain feels like to them? I used to (when I was on b/c) get stabbing pains every once in a while right around my ovary, but I was on b/c…
now that I’m off (first cycle off) occasionally I feel like I’m being poked in on ovary or the other, or sometimes both within a few mins of each other. it doesn’t hurt, it just feels like someone is poking me inside with a popscile stick. I’m also feeling alot of what feels like bubbles poping in the area as well.
i’m not preggers, so it’s not that. Just curious as to whether this might be my o pain, or whether it’s just stuff moving around.

To me, my ovulation pains feel very simlar to my menstrual cramps (yay for extra confusion!) but my friend says they feel like someone is pinching her in her side.
The poking feeling you are describing sounds similar to my friends, so it just might be!

My ovulation cramps also felt like menstrual cramps…it was very confusing to me when I first went off the pill!

I just studied this! It’s called mittelschmerz and it can be pinch-like or cramping and is normal to feel around ‘o’ time. 🙂 Not sure on the bubble popping though. :/

Wow, I did not know you got ovulation pain. I guess that what comes with being put on the pill for a potential ovarian cyst at 15?

I get slight cramping, usually just on one side. It feels like menstrual cramps to me but it’s more localized and they’re just minor cramps, nothing really painful.

Ovulation pain for me feels like dull period pain for a couple of days (and it lines up with when FF tells me I ovulate).
