Hi Anonymous,
Thanks for your question, and for being a part of the EmpowHer Community.
I'm not a doctor, but it sounds like you're experiencing Mittelschmerz--better known as ovulation pain. Some women ovulate without even noticing it, but some are "blessed" with pain at ovulation. Here is more information about it from the Mayo Clinic website:

It's important to note that if you're experiencing unbearable pain, something else may be going on. You should contact your doctor in that case, or seek Urgent Care.
