How long does ovulation symptoms last? i usually feel light cramps and bloated some light headaches for about a week before ovulation. is it normal?

It varies: But this sounds normal, if it worsens, see your doctor.

Yes: Every woman has different ovulation symptom. Some have none and many have it for couple of days. To have your symptoms for a week is longer than average. But the cyclic pattern is very reassuring that these symptoms are of a benign nature. These symptoms, if bothersome to you, can be suppressed, for instance, by birth control pills.
