Mid-Menstrual Cycle Pain (Mittelschmerz)

When To Call A Professional

Call your doctor if you have fever, pain with urination, abnormal bleeding or vomiting, even if your pain happens exactly at time of ovulation. Let your doctor know if mid-cycle pain lasts longer than a day. You also should contact your doctor if you missed your last menstrual period.

Prognosis

Pain during ovulation does not have any dangerous consequences.
