How long after ovulation pain is the egg released?

I was reading about this recently out of curiosity. The pain, also called Mittelschmerz, can happen right before, during, or just after the egg is released. So basically, the egg is usually out within a window of a few hours to a day of feeling that pinch.

Hey! That pinch or mild ache usually means the egg is about to stretch the follicle or has just burst out. It generally happens within 12 to 24 hours of feeling that pain. It is a super helpful sign if you are trying to track your fertile days!

That pain typically signals that ovulation is happening within a 24-hour window. I always track my body's signals because high-intensity training can sometimes affect your cycle if you aren't eating enough calories. It is cool how our body gives us these physical cues.

The egg is typically released within a day of feeling that one-sided pain. If the discomfort is mild, a light 20-minute walk can actually help relieve the pelvic congestion. Just make sure to listen to your body and don't push yourself if it hurts.

According to my cycle tracking app, the pain usually happens right around the time the follicle ruptures, so the egg is released within 12 to 24 hours. Logging these pain symptoms in an app alongside your basal body temperature can make tracking your peak fertility window much easier.
