Does ovulation pain mean you have already ovulated?

Some people may believe that ovulation pain is due to the pain caused by the egg being released, and therefore, they believe that having sex during this period can reduce the pain. However, this claim has not been scientifically proven.

In fact, ovulation pain is not the pain caused when the egg is released, but the pain caused by the contraction of the uterus. During this period, the woman's uterus contracts to transport the egg into the fallopian tube. This contraction may cause mild pain, but it is not the pain caused by the release of the egg.

Therefore, for many people, ovulation pain is not a sign that ovulation has occurred. If you want to determine whether you have ovulated, monitoring is recommended, either by measuring your basal body temperature or observing your menstrual cycle.
