Ovulation Pain

Ovulation occurs, on average, 12-14 days before onset of menstruation, but it is an event of which many women are unaware, unless they practise natural contraception; some women, however, experience what is called mittelschmerz, lower Abdominal Pain which is more localized and qualitatively different from period pain. If the homeopathy remedies below prove ineffective, see your homeopath; if pain is part of a wider picture, constitutional treatment may be recommended.
