What does ovulation pain feel like?

On websites people say that O pain is like AF pain.  Mine isn't like AF pain, I get a stitch like pain in one side.   Also I've had 4 days of EWCM and now I have lotiony CM.  Is this normal?

I took OPK on Feb 22 cycle day 16 was positive with digital smiley.... On Feb 23 I had abdominal pain. But my pain was on both sides, and really noticeable. Not just a lil cramping, Is this normal?!? But today when I got up there was no pain.... So do u ladies think I was ovulating and is it normal to have pain on both sides?!?

When I feel ovulation pain (mitterschmiltz or something like that), it doesn't necessarily "hurt", but I do feel it. I think it differs for everyone. I feel sort of a cramping, pulling feeling, off and on, just on one side.
I have read though-it can be either when the follicule is ripening, or when it bursts, so it shouldn't be used as a sign that you're ovulating, it can happen before, during, or after.
I agree, your CM sounds great, and normal.

Around O time I feel some sharp pain on the side I am ovulating on.  Also, most women have lots of EWCM at that time.  Your CM changes and become more difficult to penetrate after O so the change that you see is normal.  
Good luck during your 2ww!
