Is changing ovulation pain from one side to the other normal?

[MixedBananas]

Please could someone dump knowledge on me omregarda to O pain.
I get it bad some months and others barely anything or not at all.
The cycles when I concieved my 2 boys I had no O pain.

This cycle has been bad. Yesterday I jad intense O pain on my right for 2 hours felt like a stitch on my ovary. Then today I have pain on my left ovary left side. Oa this normal? Dod my body change it's mind what side, did I ovulate both sides? So odd.

Yes its normal. It doesnt always occur on the side of ovulation

Typically you only ovulate from one ovary each month (otherwise the probability of twins would be much higher than it is) and typically it swaps sides from month to month.

Sometimes only one side tends to hurt and you can't feel the other!

Thank you. I never had bilateral and on different days. So I am wondering did the right ovary not ovuale ans the left tried?
I BBT and had a small temp increase today.

For years I would get ovulation pain on one side only. The pain varied from a mild cramps some months to very notable pain. Turns out I have a large chocolate cyst on there.

Not at all saying you could be the same, but we need to get better at not dismissing pain as normal for women and ensure there is nothing else going on.

Yep I get horrific pain some months where I can’t even stand. Then it goes as fast as it came. Some months nothing at all

@WhatWouldMyMamaSay can that happen when I have had 2 children? I have had many U/S in the last few months and no one has commented on cysts they said all looks normal.
I have suffered with Menhorraghia my whole life and all the Drs want to do is throw pills at me or do Lapro. I have seen 5 Gynaes and multiple Gps and all have been useless so I stopped trying to get help. I bleed massively eaxh month since age 11 I am now 39. Just waiting for Menapause I guess. No it is probably not normal but the NHS don't want to do any imaging i.e contrast studies, camera studies or anything.

@MixedBananas No as the dominant follicle is only on one ovary , although there is something called super ovulation in which you can ovulate from both sides in same month but its not common . I think it might only affect 10 / 100 woman at one point in their life. I had ovulation pain alternate beteeen ovaries quite a few months. I did have a scan during one of those months at the fertility clinic and the consultant said alternating pain isnt unusual and can just be hormonal or it can be fluid crossing over or just to do with the nerves

Yep. I have stage 4 endometriosis, which I had no idea I had as I had no symptoms until last year (with hindsight, I had symptoms here and there over the years, such as the bad pain). I also have two small children, and have had various other scans over the years.

So I was genuinely taken aback when I was diagnosed to find out I have it so badly and it’s never come up before. I asked why none of it has come up on any of my ultrasounds. Each of the doctors I spoke to said generally, pregnancy ultrasounds, and other scans I had for other reasons, were only looking for what they were looking for. Unless there was something obviously sinister, they wouldn’t be focused on commenting on any ovarian cysts, or that in my case, my ovarian are glued to my uterus. None of that was ever picked up until I had the mri to investigate the endometriosis further.
