Oh my gosh som eother people with ovarian pain. I have it almost daily. Is it really because our bodies are working so hard to make and release an egg??? I have had this pain for the past two years. At times the pain is so bad I can hardly move. always thought it was my degenerative disc, could it be a combination of the two??? Thanks so much for sharing. Amy
