Ovulation Pain - Anyone Else Feel It?

I no longer have a period but when I did I got rushed to the hospital in high school because they thought I was having an appendicitis attack ...it was actually painful ovulation the doctor said. Midol or Aleve helped with that pain for many years but eventually like everything it didn't any longer. A heating pad or one of those lidocaine patches had helped too.

my mom told me ovulation pain is normal and that many women experience it (she wasn’t being dismissive; just reassuring me bcs I was freaking out) and I think thinking this way sometimes helps you relax your body bcs for me, when I think about the pain and relate it to PCOS, it leads to “what else can it lead to? am I getting worse?”

I suffer from bloating, terrible abdominal and pelvic pain, and bad mood
