Ovulation pains

Adele • TTC since January 2013
My friends doctor just told her that she shouldn't be experiencing random pains around ovulation/during ovulation because it's not normal and means there is a serious problem. I have sharp pains the week before I ovulate and during....I feel like this isn't true. Also she found out she can't conceive and she told her doctor she has sharp pains etc. The same type like I have....could the doctor have maybe just said that since he's the one that figured out she couldn't conceive? I know everyone is different but I thought ovulation pains were normal.
