Hi Jenn,

Ovulation doesn't always work that way. I have always had mittelschmertz and some months it is more painful than other months. The strange thing with me is I have always only had the pain on the right side and it was almost every month. I do have endometriosis and at the time of my hysterectomy (for fibroids) they found my left ovary adhered to my uterus and my sigmoid colon. I kind of wonder if the ovary ever really worked properly. Now that I have just a remnant of my right ovary, I still get that old familar pain. When I have had a cyst burst (other than a normal follicular cyst) it is very painful. Motrin doesn't always get rid of the pain.

I hope this helps to know you are not alone in experiencing pain with ovulation and not alone in having it on one side.

Best wishes, D.N.
