Question: What causes Ovulation pain on both sides? Is it possible to have twins if both right and left ovary release an egg at the same time?<\/em><\/p>\n Ovulation is the release of an egg from either the right or left ovaries, and almost entirely, the process is controlled by the rise and fall of both estrogen and progesterone.<\/p>\n During ovulation, most women\u00a0will have only one of their ovaries release an egg. So, it’s not unusual if you are experiencing pain on one side of your abdomen.<\/p>\n However, if you are experiencing ovary pain on both sides of the abdomen, its normal you will be scared something is wrong. Here’s an email I received from Theresa (One of my readers)<\/p>\n Hi Doc,<\/p>\n I have a 28 days menstrual cycle, and sometimes I do experience\u00a0pain while ovulating. In fact, a short-lived\u00a0and sharp pain in my belly and back is how I know I’m ovulating.<\/p>\n Surprisingly, this month, after the end of my period, I get this severe pain on both sides of my abdomen. I feel like vomiting, and I’m wondering if its pregnancy.<\/p>\n Three weeks ago, I had sexual intercourse with my husband (protected with a condom), and I do not have any other signs of pregnancy.<\/p>\n What causes cramps on both sides during\u00a0ovulation?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Just like Theresa, you will be wondering what’s wrong when you suddenly start having stabbing pain on both sides of your tummy while expecting ovulation.<\/p>\n The truth is, it’s not abnormal and occurs because of simultaneous release of an egg from both your ovaries.<\/p>\n Having said that, it’s important you know a very severe and long-lasting pain could be due to something else. Endometriosis, adenomyosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, uterine incapacity, kidney infections, and acute appendicitis may cause you to feel this way<\/p>\n This article explains why you have abdominal cramps on both sides during ovulation, what ovulation pain feels like,\u00a0and when you should see your doctor.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Within your abdomen, your body houses different structure that makes it possible for you to have a regular menstrual period.<\/p>\n Your ovaries (right and left) are located on the sides of the uterus, and after the release of an egg during ovulation, the fallopian tube (which is a 10cm muscular tube) picks up the “released egg” and slowly convey your egg to the body of the uterus.<\/p>\n At each month, during your ovulation period, you are likely to release an egg from one of your ovaries. Your body spontaneously directs an ovary, that is, your right or left ovary, to release an egg.<\/p>\n During bilateral ovulation, your both ovaries will work to release an egg at the same menstrual cycle, meaning, instead\u00a0of one egg released, you will have 2 or more eggs released into your fallopian tube.<\/p>\n Usually, there are many signs you will expect while ovulating. One of those signs<\/a> is pain in your abdomen and affects 1 in 5 women during ovulation. So, if ovulation occurs on both ovaries, you will experience cramps on both sides at the same time.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n More than 80 percent of women will not have abdominal cramps during ovulation. This pain, also referred as Mittelschmerz pain, will be noticed by 20 percent of women, and it’s a sharp stabbing pain that only lasts for about 48 hours.<\/p>\n<\/span>What causes ovulation pain on both sides of the abdomen?<\/span><\/h2>\n
