I really should try it. When this cycle is over I might!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-o-what-do-you-think#post-61580 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 20:30:59 +0000 Grace 61580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always had wacky long cycles. One month it would be 38 days, then 32, then 40, then 60, then 35. It was all over the place. I convinced myself I was pregnant several times and it drove me crazy! I really really recommend trying temping. I started 3 months ago, and found out that not only when I was O'ing, but that AF shows up, like clockwork 12 days later. It took the guesswork out and has made me a much more sane person. Plus, I haven't wasted any money on pregnancy tests since! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-o-what-do-you-think#post-61553 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 19:33:35 +0000 sslm 61553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Thanks, I noticed some cramping too, but I wonder if I am just imagining things? Ugh. This is going to be harder than I thought!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-o-what-do-you-think#post-61317 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 13:54:59 +0000 winniebee 61317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One additional way to track is by ovulation cramping or pains (which I always had on O day...felt like mild period pains and bloating). I didn't like the idea of temping, but I did use OPKs and my positive OPKs always matched up with that cramping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-o-what-do-you-think#post-61254 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 12:14:16 +0000 Adira 61254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: It sounds to me like you probably did O, but it's hard to say for certain without you temping. Maybe wait another day to be sure, but being dry is a pretty good indication that you did (I think). I wonder if I O'd... my nipples were sore the other day. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-o-what-do-you-think#post-61238 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 11:43:27 +0000 sslm 61238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I know, it's hard to say. Usually I do get sore boobs right around O time and then sore nipples right after, I'm waiting on the nipples... I can't believe how much I talk about nipples on here... Lol. I think I'll try temping next cycle, and I'm going for my day 24 blood work on monday, so I may get an answer then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-o-what-do-you-think#post-61135 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 09:49:13 +0000 mediagirl 61135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's really hard to tell unless you're temping and keeping track of that, on top of your symptoms. Have you tried using Fertilityfriend.com to help you track this? I found it SO helpful! I never did find out if I O'ed or not, but I must have. Haha. Have you tried using OPK's if you don't want to temp? Those will tell you definitively. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-i-o-what-do-you-think#post-61111 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 09:12:42 +0000 sslm 61111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok so I posted this over on the TTC thread but I thought I'd make a separate post so I could get more opinions :)</p> <p>Today is CD21 and since coming off the pill I've had 4 cycles, 35, 46, 46, and 58 days, so I definitely ovulate late (if at all). </p> <p>This week I had patches of what I think was ewcm. It was off and on throughout the days, but yesterday was when I had the most. Today my boobs are sore and I am dry!</p> <p>Does anyone think I ovulated yesterday or is it just wishful thinking? I know I should temp and then I would know, but I haven't done that so here I am. </p> <p>Thanks! </p>
