This was the link I got when I proved that today I am ovulating.. Actually truth be told I think that I am experiencing mild cramping that fluctuates from one ovary to the next. And I believe this is a sign I will have fraternal twins. I am experiencing these mild cramps..but I'm wanted to share what I found out from the glow app link below.. I do not claim the content below as mine.. I didnt write it.

Mittelschmerz

Mittelschmerz

    

Mittelschmerz is one-sided, lower abdominal pain that affects some women. It occurs at or around the time of an egg is released from the ovaries (ovulation).

Causes

One in five women have pain around the time of ovulation. This is called mittelschmerz. The pain may occur just before, during, or after ovulation.

This pain can be explained in several ways. Just before the ovulation, the growth of the follicle where the egg develops may stretch the surface of the ovary. This can cause pain. At the time of ovulation, fluid or blood is released from the ruptured egg follicle. This may irritate lining of the abdomen.
