Yes. http://www.emedicine.com/aaem/topic310.htm "Mittelschmerz (pronounced MITT-ul-schmurz) is a German word that means middle pain. The pain occurs during ovulation. Pain appears on one side of the lower abdomen midway between menstrual periods. The location is determined by which ovary has produced the ovum that month. It can show up on one side of the abdomen one month and switch to the opposite side during the following cycle. "Among women, 20% experience mittelschmerz. Most of the time it is a mild annoyance. In rare instances, it can be debilitating...." Debbi who can be lazy as well as unpredictable ;) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
