Is ovulation pain a good indicator for fertility

[colsy]

We are not actively TTC, although we might NTNP soon-ish. I was just wondering about ovulation pain. When you have ovulation pain, does that mean you are about to ovulate, or that you are currently ovulating, or that you have already ovulated.

So what I mean is, when you get ovulation pain, does that mean your fertile window is coming up, or happening right now, or already past?

The timing of ovulation pain is different for every woman. If you chart, you can usually pin-point when the pain happens in relation to ovulation for your body.
