It's Called MITTELSCHMERZ!

'Middle Pain', as my AS-level German tells me so. It describes abdominal cramp or pain during ovulation, and this happens to about 20% of women, it is just like mentrual pain, without the obvious 'menstrual' bit. I really don't need two cramps per menstrual cycle (which is very, eh, elastic at its own discretion), thank you very much.

For more clinical information, please consult Wikipedia.

So after a lovely ice cream party and feeling slightly better about myself *thanks to all of you who gave me actual/virtual hugs during my terminal depression last week* the Flocking Goddess of Pain hits me square and I end up snuggling inside the duvet to do work instead of in front of a desk.

I shall not envy men quite yet. It is through pain that we become something greater. (This is me self-hypnotizing self. Therefore any argument against will not be taken seriously, simply because the above sentence is not to be taken so. Also, I do not believe that women are superior or inferior than men. That's just childish.)


How am I supposed to do work when I am having cramps accompanied by a full-bast ovulation-mood?

Hormones, sneaky bastards...
