Call the doctor!
I think I am getting pain when I ovulate. The timing and symptoms are right, but it is always on my left side, though it might be every other month, I forget. Also it might be on my right side sometimes and I forget.
I can’t imagine how I think I am clear enough about the timing to say it’s right. But it seems right, and what is the internet for if not to diagnose yourself?

I get the same thing. Sharp pains that last for an hour or two, one side or the other. They can be, on occasion, enough to cause me to keel over onto my bed in a fetal position, seeking relief (though a hot pad and 600mg of ibuprofen help more).

I love the word for this - mittelshmerz. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001503.htm

This has nothing at all to do with your uterus pain.
But I found more of your favourite joke: http://ist-socrates.berkeley.edu/~dmort/primes.html

I find a warm laptop works even better than a heating pad, actually. Also for when I get my period.
The name is great, yes. But couldn’t we have cool words for things that don’t hurt, too?
More jokes! Hurray! I like the MIT linguists one.
I once made up whole loads more, acquisition and socio and bilingualism ones, but I can’t remember them. I am sad that this list missed my “yeah, yeah I can get 9 to be prime”, which is my favourite.

Yeah, I started making up more after our conversation yesterday, but then I realised that that’s what the internet is for. Because no matter what you make up, someone else probably got there first.
(Hope that’s not the case with my thesis.)
