O pain question...

Just wondering, for everyone who experiences O pain, what and where is it? That's one thing I haven't figured out yet. How can you tell the difference between regular digestion feelings and O? Anyone have lower back pain associated with it? (I had some unexplainable lower back pain...just for half a day...usually I get that 2 days before AF) How long do the O feelings last? Hours? Minutes? Thanks!!

O pain seems to be different for every woman. I feel a pinch/pain every month on C12-C14. It is usually on the right side but sometimes on left. It does not feel like anything else (indigestion, gas, AF, etc...) so it is very easy to know it is it. I have never had any other symptom associated with it. I start feeling it mid day and it has stopped by night time or the next morning. In my case, it is a pinch/pain that lasts more or less 12 hours.

It happens every month, without fail and I've felt it since I first got my period at 15.

I read only 20% of women experience this. According to my doctor, it is associated with the egg being released. Good luck!

"o" pain is usually a very sharp pinching in your lower ab to one side or the other. That's what mine is anyway ;o) I get it over a few days before and after "o"- not constant but many bouts of sharp pain through those days.


HTH!

My O pain in the past has been more of what I would call "cramps" it is a pinching pain on one side or the other. The back pain and low stomach pain I get near the time of AF is more of a constant, settling pain. That normally comes the night before or the morning AF shows up on my doorstep.
