A member asked:
Why do i get mild menstrual cramps approx 5 days after my menstrual period is finished every month? does it mean i'm ovulating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely: The timing and the symptoms are right. When a mature egg is expelled from the ovary at ovulation, this represents the rupture of a small cyst which can be transiently irritating.
