Alrighty, so all day today I've had a sharp, throbbing pain in my right ovary. It doesn't throb consistently, but comes an average of every 5 minutes or so. The weird thing is that it builds like a menstrual cramp, but as soon as the pain gets excruciating, it lasts for maybe 2 seconds and then completely disappears rather than gradually going away. That's my only symptom, but it's so distinct and so sharp that I can't help but worry. I'm 23, married, and since being sexually active have dealt with yeast and/or bacterial infections (can't get a straight answer from doctors). Also, I've never been pregnant. Does anyone have any ideas? Any input appreciated.

Where in your cycle are you? Could be ovulating pain, or if it continues, could be a cyst.

I'm 5 days from starting my period.

Probably not ovulation unless your cycle is very short. If the pain continues it might be worth getting an ultrasound to check for a cyst. Sometimes bowel pain can be mistaken for ovary pain too so pay attention to any changes in digestion.

I normally have a 28 day cycle so I would agree with you about being too late for ovulation. So far everything else seems normal except this pain. Never felt anything like it. If it persists I'll take your advice about the ultrasound. Thank you!

I was thinking possible cyst also ... So an ultrasound is probably a good idea if it continues. If the pain gets worse or you notice other symptoms you might need to get it looked at more urgently
I've noticed sometimes I get pains like this with constipation as well ... seems bizarre but the pain feels like ovarian but turns out not to be
Hope you feel better soon
