Ovulation pains feeling like menstrual cramps??

[FirstTimeTTC]

Hi Ladies,

Just wondered if anyone has experienced ovulation pains that feel like menstrual cramps? The last two months I've had cramps and lower back aches at ovulation time. I use opks and it seems to happen the day BEFORE I get a positive.

I've heard that it is typically more on one side and a pinching feeling but my pain is across my whole lower stomach and hips to my lower back. Only for one day.

Anyone else experience this?

Yes I get them, fairly common. Crampy but also pressure to down below when I sit down
