I feel it too. my body temperature goes up a bit, then 30 minutes later I feel a pain. it's so interesting

[Lemqndemqn]

Honestly being a woman is hard but it’s just amazing what our bodies can do and feel

[bolivia.j]

I can feel the cramping so bad on one side and my face clears up and I have this unbridled confidence for like two days then I go back to being depressed 💀

[laurenjatich]

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS. I told my male OBGYN and he said “I believe you. I believe you think that’s happening but it’s just simply not. But I believe you” I was like yea I’m finding another OBGYN

[tehrimtariq]

Yess, some women feel crampy during ovulation, its term called mittelschmerz

[naveah]

I can feel it clear as day every time. It’s fascinating and super important to be in tune with your body and what it’s doing

[kenetrice]

I do definitely feel cramping during ovulation but absolutely cannot tell how many eggs are dropping or which side it’s on. 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

[Craftycreations-hpfw]

abby’s does it hurt was really funny for no reason 😂❤

[gabrielafreitas]

I can feel it too. And I always shout to my husband "STAY AWAY FROM ME!"😂😂😂

[Izzy_Innabi]

It is a myth that twins skip a generation. It can skip in some people and in some it doesn’t

[samanthahope]

I definitely feel that shit and it hurts for me, but I also get ovarian cysts as well.

[kathleenburgess]

I can feel it!! I get incredibly bad cramps for 24hrs then they just magical go away. I first I thought maybe it was something else, but I described the pain to my mom who told me she experienced the exact same pain. I only feel it ever coming from one side. And it never swaps.

[gintoki]

Ovulation can have cramp like symptoms for some people. But you won't be able to feel your eggs moving from the ovary. The egg is not large enough to be felt. It's a single cell

[kyristal]

Same!! Mine hurts really bad though :/ worse than regular cramps!

[kagedbirdd]

I can feel it. It feels like a pinching pain more to the left or right of where I get my abdominal cramps. It used to be debilitating pain when I was younger, like in 8th grade.

[SydneyEvans]

I feel it too. It's a really sharp pain on one side and I have to pretty much stop what I'm doing and lie down then and there or the pain gets progressively worse. It once happened when I was on a walk and when I got home the pain was so bad I threw up. Fun times

[AshtheB]

Also I read or watched a documentary on fertility that you're more likely to have twins in your 30s because the body wants to make sure the likelihood to have offspring is optimal unless you already have the genes turned on most are turned off but sometimes the gene flips. I have like so many cousins that have twins because they had them later on in life.

[kimlorton]

I could tell. It was always a sharp pain on one or the other side, and was intense for about 20 seconds then gone. Every month. Now, thanks to menopause, that is gone! Well, below someone pointed out the egg is too small to feel the passage of it, but you can feel when you start ovulation and, sometimes that includes…
Dropping an egg! See, the eggs are encased in little sacs. When that sac pops, it can be painful, and then the egg starts it’s journey. So, yes you can feel yourself dropping an egg, but it is mainly the egg sac popping to move out of the ovary surface and out of the sac. That can really hurt.

[alexisthermam-wrci]

I DIDNT KNOW OTHER PEOPLE HAD THIS… that’s crazy!

[harleykittyquinn]

I can feel it! I'm glad I'm not alone!
