I am 37 and I have been getting cramps around ovulation time (mid cycle) for about an year now. I have an IUD, so I get mild periods and no cramps during periods. I don't think IUD is the reason as I have been getting it a few months before the IUD was put in.

I have an appointment with my OB-GYN soon , but wondering if anyone has similar issues.

    I ALWAYS cramped during ovulation. And gained 2-4Lbs.
    No IUD. Just how my body worked.

    I just got a copper iud put in 2 months ago after being on the pill since I was a teenager and experienced the same thing. Because the pill stops ovulation, my body hadn't even thought about release one of those bad boys in forever. I talked to my doctor about it at my follow up and she just smiled and told me it was totally normal.

    It's a really odd feeling if you've never felt it before! Being a woman is so weird sometimes :)

    You don't often see "lucky" and "menopause" together. ;)

    (I can joke, I'm in the throes of it. I'd love the old crampy days)

    I sometimes cramp during ovulation, but only on the right side. I was told it is normal.
