I have cramps in my ovaries, while my period is still 7 days away. What can it be? Thank you

Question

It's pinching in the ovaries (in my opinion) and a little more on the left side. These pinches come and go. It's not painful, but I'm a little worried. It's not menstrual cramps. It's been happening to me since my ovulation. I'm trying for a baby since March, but I don't think I'm pregnant

Hello, Usually, this symptom occurs mostly during ovulation, which is normally 14 days before the start of menstruation. Could this discomfort be something else? Can you describe the pain in more detail? Where exactly? Is it continuous or intermittent? Do you have any other symptoms? Your answers will help me to better help you!

If the symptoms persist or get worse, I recommend that you see a doctor. And if your period doesn't come as expected, I recommend you take a pregnancy test.
