I'm 37yrs old and I've been experiencing pain during my ovulation period for the past year. I'm wondering if this is normal, especially now that I'm thinking of having another baby.

Having pain during ovulation is very normal... matter of fact, it is how most women can tell when they are ovulating.

The pain you are having is called mittelschmerz.

Here is a link you can read more about it to ease your mind :)
