It could very well be ovulation pain you're feeling. Do you get it in the middle of the month? I get pain like that on the first day of my period some months and so does my DD. Not fun!

I think the only way to tell if you are in peri is to go by symptoms. You can find a list of the 34 symptoms of peri on the links at the top of the page. Hormone testing does'nt do much good because your hormones fluctuate wildly during peri and it's hard to get any kind of accurate reading.

I get pain and bloating midcycle when I ovulate, it lasts few hours, and then goes away. I alternate left and right sides, but it happens now once in few months, so I guess, this is how often I ovulate now. Oh, and when I do, I have the worst anxiety, panic, and palpitations too. So much fun...
