Ahhhh, so it could be the follicle growing and stretching the ovary BEFORE ovulation? that makes sense

Yes, typically mittelschmerz lasts a few days as the follicle matures on the surface of the ovary. Then the pain abruptly stops after you ovulate.

It's normal. Maybe not hugely common but normal.

Yes, I had it before kids. I would get cramps for a few hours and then bleed a tiny bit with ovulation. I believe it's called middleschmirtz or something like that.

Mittelschmerz. It's normal but it tends to get worse as you get older. It shouldn't be severe pain, though.
