Barb,
I am not sure if I would consider my ovulation pain as extreme, but I also
have difficult mid-cycle pain. I can tell exactly which side I ovulate from
and am pretty precise on predicting ovulation based on my pain alone.
Sometimes it can be so intense, I get nauseous. It hurts to have my kids
sit on my lap. My entire mid-section is tender. It hurts to sit down, to
walk...generally, most of the time for a good 2-3 days when I ovulate. My
OB did a laporoscopy just to make sure I didn't have adenomyosis. Sure
enough, I didn't. Just painful ovulation. So I try to use it to my
advantage - at least it's clear when I ovulate! :) Sorry I wasn't more
help.
-Diane
