[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 177608, member: 1991"] It's not the egg bursting, it's the follicle the egg is bursting from. And GoingNorth is right, it's called "mittelschmertz" and it doesn't tickle. It can be associated with endometriosis and it can also be misdiagnosed as appendicitis (and vice versa). It doesn't happen every time unless you're unlucky and it can be controlled if it's really bad. Anything which stops ovulation (ie the Pill) will stop this. Ultrasound can find the follicle, but wouldn't see the egg, it's too tiny. Sometimes the pain comes before the egg is released, because the follicle has grown way bigger than usual and is pressing on things. This happened to easy child when she was about 14. Then the follicle burst, the pain eased after a while and the hospital let her come home. They'd found the problem with ultrasound, about the same time the follicle burst and her pain began to ease. sister in law used to get this too. Not nice. Hope it was just a once-off. Marg [/QUOTE]
