Mittleschmerz: In mid-cycle the egg is released from the ovary along with a small amount of blood that irritates lining of the pelvic cavity transiently. The german name above means "pain in the middle" (of the menstrual cycle). This is a normal phenomenon and burden that women have borne since eating that apple.
