A member asked:

I'm in my ovulation week but for the past day i'm feeling a little cramp and lower back pain like when i'm about to see my period. why is that?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May be related to: Ovulation. Release of an ovum is associated with rupture of an ovarian follicle and that may cause symptoms, some times.
