Hi Livia,

Chances are that you didn't ovulate this month, or the cramps may be because you're ready to ovulate...however, timing things and diagnosing this over the net is impossible...Hope this helps though

thanks Dr Q!bUT I had a full flow period,it was quite heavy,is it possible not to ovulate and have a full flow period?

yes, you can have a regular period and not ovulate. i was told this by my OB several years back. you can menstrate without ovulation.
