thought this might reasure you. I have been having this today:
It is likely that the pain you're feeling is caused by a corpus luteum cyst which is a good thing! The cyst forms after the egg is released from the ovary and is responsible for producing progesterone. Most women don't feel them but occasionally they can cause what feels like ovulation pain in early pregnancy. I just learned about this today from my OB/GYN. I am four weeks pregnant with my second child and went to my OB today as I was concerned about the kind of discomfort you're describing. Hope that helps!!
I remember worrying about this before in my last pregnancy. Thank goodness i read this again as it brought it back to me. Hope it helps someone else too.
