I have been having an achey-ache in my left side, I thought I might have a hernia, but the last time I had a pain like this, where it felt like a 6 foot 1x2 was sticking thru my left hipbone, was about ten years ago? and the gyn said it was a "little" endometriosis and I told her I thought I was ovulating on the left, which only happened a couple three times a year. Seein's how I am now well into menopause, I googled ovulation and menopause in an attempt to self-diagnose and found this interesting little titbit, from 2007. So all you post-menopausal boo-boo babies can now consider yourself "documented"?! Maybe in another couple thousand years, someone will bother to document my post-menopausal mittelschmerz.

CONCLUSION(S): This is the first report of ovulation in a postmenopausal woman. This observation opens the door to new questions about the sensitivity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis in menopause as well as about ovarian senescence.
