    Remember that 2 weeks before you start menstruating, is when you are ovulating. This is when the ovum is released by the ovary and moves down the fallopian tubes to your uterus where it then stays and waits to be fertilised. If it is not fertilised, you get your period to get rid of the ovum and edometrium that has grown there in preparation for housing a baby.

    The cramps you are experiencing are more than likely ovulation pains. Normally not too sore, more like a dull pain on one side of your abdomen. If they are really bad and you are in any discomfort you should go and see a gynecologist or doctor to have a look at it, it might be something a lot more serious.

    It's probably ovulation time. This is where the egg is leaving the ovary to begin its journey to the uterus. This cramping may last anywhere from a couple of hours to a couple of days.

    Yes, it is called mittelsmertz. The uterus drops down somewhat and the cervix becomes swollen causing the pain. That's exactly what happened to me every month. One month it was so bad that my husband called his doctor (my doctor didn't have a clue) and the doctor told me that my uterus was tipped. He did some manipulating and after that the pain was never so bad although it was still there.

    some women report a pain when they release their eggs, in the middle of the space between periods.
