Question Cramps vs. Ovarian Pain

Ok, random question. How do you tell the difference between "ovarian pain" and "cramps"? I just started tracking my cycle online and they give you an area to rate different symptoms for the day, and included is both ovarian pain and cramps. I think I know the difference...cramps seems to be a more widespread, grabbing pain that happens right before AF. The ovarian pain seems to be more of a localized, poking-type pain that seems to be happening all the time. Also, does the fact that I'm having mild-to-moderate ovarian pain (I think) mean anything significant? I'm seeing the endo in a few weeks, so I'm just trying to get all my info straight. Thanks!

Wow. Now HERE is a question for which I would like to read more input! Since my diagnosis approximately 2 years ago, I've tried to pay particularly close attention to all of my sensations and pains. For me - what I deem ovarian pain - is not a "poking" sensation, but rather a very sharp, knife-like pain, that typically lasts a few seconds, then is gone. Last year, after some exploratory surgery, my doctor realized that I had fibroids, as well. (Funny - they were quite large, but no one detected them from the ultrasounds. Idiots.) I began to recognize that there was a difference between the quick, sharp, ovarian pain, vs. the pain from the fibroids, which tended to be more pressure-sensitive, centralized, longer lasting...and appeared closer to my Provera-induced periods. Of course, now, a year later, the lines are beginning to blur between the two sensations; ALL of my pain is becoming increasingly frequent, and increasingly intense. But this is a topic for another post.

In response to your concern, my recommendation to you would be to make sure that there's not more than one protagonist causing your pelvic pain (ie: fibroids, endometriosis, bladder problems, etc.). Again, in my case, the classic ovarian sensation was extremely sharp, and relatively short-lasting. I hope that you are able to get this under control. I think the hardest part is obtaining an accurate analysis. Talk openly with your doctor, politely demand answers, and consider second opinions. Best of luck to you.
