After LO, it's very obvious each month (even when I don't realize what day it is). I track my cycle on an app and when I check, the pains are always around my tracker's time for ovulation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-ovulation#post-1521789 Wed, 26 Mar 2014 08:43:00 +0000 alohaorchid 1521789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From day 12-13 I always have tons of energy, my skin glows and my stomach looks and feels extra flat. For days 14-15 I feel bloated, tired, sometimes sick, I get headaches and I usually do feel crampy and sometimes it's accompanied by sharp cramps on one side, occassionally both. It's the same every month like clockwork. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-ovulation#post-1521424 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 23:08:07 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1521424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel it every month. It's very strong this cycle.. probably because I had a lap about a month ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-ovulation#post-1496691 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 10:24:50 +0000 MrsH 1496691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never felt it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-ovulation#post-1496656 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 09:39:27 +0000 winniebee 1496656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Feels like period cramps all day and like I have to go to the bathroom. And bloated. When I used opks it was right around the time I got my positive opk. Lovely to feel that way during prime baby making time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-ovulation#post-1496653 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 09:30:27 +0000 Dandelion 1496653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's called middlesmertz. :) Not all women feel it, but once in a while I have. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-ovulation#post-1496649 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 09:20:18 +0000 Miss Sarah 1496649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@theotherstark: It was wild! If it had continued for one more day, I would have been calling my doc. I was super worried I had a rapidly growing cyst or something, but after I ovulated, everything went back to normal. It was bizarre! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-ovulation#post-1496646 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 09:17:40 +0000 theotherstark 1496646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarahnicole218: omg that is crazy!! I didn't know it was even possible to feel your ovaries externally?! wild... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-ovulation#post-1496629 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 08:45:17 +0000 Miss Sarah 1496629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This month, I was on 100mg of Clomid and I'm fairly certain I ovulated on CD 18, which was 4 days after a positive OPK. My cycle has been crazy this month. I thought I wasn't going to end up ovulating at all since I didn't within 2-3 days of my positive OPK and since I didn't with my first Clomid cycle, but then on CD 17 and 18, I had a ridiculous amount of bloating and very painful cramps. My ovaries were very swollen too, as I could actually feel them externally (for the first time ever). It was all very intense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-ovulation#post-1495822 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 10:19:45 +0000 snowjewelz 1495822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm I'm supposed to O soon and I def feel those pinching sensations! I've felt them for the last two cycles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-ovulation#post-1495757 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 09:31:08 +0000 Happygal 1495757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only on fertility meds. Then I feel a lot of pressure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-ovulation#post-1495714 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 08:39:14 +0000 anandam 1495714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't feel the distinct moment, but there are what I call "twinges" on both sides for about a week leading up, then they become more focused on one side for a day or two. I'm pretty sure I felt implantation start as a distinct moment, though - it was like my uterus got lightheaded! So weird! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-ovulation#post-1495690 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 08:02:58 +0000 krispi 1495690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before I was on the pill, I was very regular and felt it most months. It's like a small, sharp pain on one side. I'll be going off the pill later this month to TTC, and I hope my cycle is still the same as it used to be (except for the week long AFs). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-ovulation#post-1495545 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 00:07:54 +0000 Boopers 1495545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've felt it and can usually tell which side I'm ovulating from. Some months are stronger than others. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-ovulation#post-1495462 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 22:25:48 +0000 turquoisemama 1495462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I've always felt it off and on in the past, but never knew for sure. Last month I got a positive OPK and later on that evening I definitely felt a sharp pain in my ovary for a couple of hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-ovulation#post-1492572 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 17:36:34 +0000 Radish 1492572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-ovulation#post-1492520 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 17:14:01 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1492520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm usually crampy the day before O. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-ovulation#post-1492463 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 16:37:45 +0000 Snowdrop 1492463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel pinching in the build up to O before even fertile cm starts and when it gets close i do feel tender.

Since I had LO, though, it's been the strangest thing but I feel it so distinctly. No idea if I changed or if I'm just more in tune to the feeling or what. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-ovulation#post-1492337 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 15:35:19 +0000 snowjewelz 1492337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have felt the pinching but not 100% sure if it was related to O. I would love to feel anything so I know it's happening! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-ovulation#post-1492334 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 15:34:22 +0000 BSB 1492334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@theotherstark: Thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-ovulation#post-1492326 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 15:31:11 +0000 theotherstark 1492326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: I am so glad the pain isn't as strong now! Yikes, that sounds horrible.</p> <p>@bluestriped bee: Oh I'm so glad you're enjoying it. I have been wanting to check into acupuncture for a while. Keeping my fingers crossed that your IVF next month is it for you!! :heart: </p> <p>@blackbird: Intriguing! Is that because Clomid gives you a 'stronger' O? I thought I read that somewhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-ovulation#post-1492303 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 15:21:50 +0000 blackbird 1492303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only while on clomid. it was super painful </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-ovulation#post-1492238 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 14:56:04 +0000 Littlebit 1492238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never felt it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-ovulation#post-1492211 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 14:48:27 +0000 BSB 1492211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@theotherstark: I have been doing accupunture for over a year now. I love it! It hasn't gotten me pregnant, yet, even with my IUIs but I'm hoping IVF is the answer. Hoping our first IVF cycle next month is the trick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-ovulation#post-1492185 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 14:38:43 +0000 Alivoo01 1492185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-ovulation#post-1492170 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 14:34:36 +0000 septca 1492170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get super bloated and tender for 2-3 days before O, and can sometimes feel O itself (like a sharp pinch) - it depends on the side. But my case is "special" - I have endometriosis growth on both ovaries, so I experience a lot of pain around O. It was much worse before my lap - around O I would be doubled over in pain. Sexy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-ovulation#post-1492158 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 14:31:19 +0000 theotherstark 1492158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaryM: Yeah, I think that before, I never really knew for sure which day it would happen, so I wasn't paying attention too closely.</p> <p>@rachiecakes: I think most people don't? Which is sort of what makes me question if I'm actually feeling it or not. Ha. </p> <p>@mrs. tictactoe: I do tend to get bloated a bit as well! </p> <p>@bluestriped bee: I have heard acupuncture can be really helpful in TTC!! </p> <p>Before we were TTC, I always scoffed when I read that people can feel ovulation. As in 'haha, yeah right, you can't feel something that tiny!' But then I felt it in January and I was like, huh. So that's what they were talking about. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-ovulation#post-1492142 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 14:26:55 +0000 BSB 1492142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sometimes feel crampy when I'm on fertility meds. Wonder if that's the reason I haven't gotten pregnant yet. I, also, wonder if accupunture has been helping, as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-ovulation#post-1492128 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 14:21:20 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1492128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely feel crampy and bloated on O day. </p>
