Cramps During Ovulation?!?

Question

Has anyone ever experienced cramping during ovulation? I've been having period like cramps but my period ended last Friday. They're very annoying and painful. I've never experienced this before, usually my cramps go away after my period ends. Does anyone know why and what I can do to help this?

Answer

Every month! Sometimes I also have spotting. It's very uncomfortable and irritating.

Answer

Sometimes. The term for it is "mittelschmertz." It is a German word that literally translates to "middle pain," or pain you get in the middle of your cycle (so, when you ovulate.) It's totally normal! But if the cramping becomes severe, then I would see your doctor.
