Causes of Mittelschmerz or Ovulation Pain or Midcycle Pain. Before the release of the egg with ovulation, the growth of the follicle causes the surface of the ovary to stretch resulting in pain. The ruptured follicle may cause release of blood or fluid leading to irritation of the abdominal lining (peritoneum) and causing pain.
Ovulation pain. Some women get a one-sided pain in their lower abdomen when they ovulate. Also known as mittelschmerz (German for middle pain or pain in the middle of the month) it happens about 14 days before your period when an ovary releases an egg as part of the menstrual cycle. Ovulation pain is often normal and just another side effect linked with menstruation.
