Ovulation normally occurs about two weeks after the first day of menstruation.
During ovulation, one of the ovaries releases an ovum, or egg, into the
corresponding fallopian tube. This is when some women experience pain or
cramps between periods or Mittelschmerz.
About 20% of women experience the severe pain or cramps caused by
