Ovarian pain: You might be developing cysts- please consult with your gynecologist, who will be able to help evaluate this better.

Cysts: Could be ovarian cysts, or simply the process by which an egg is released. During ovulation an egg bursts from the follicle; similar to popping a pimple. Some women experience pain or soreness when this happens.
