At least point, I said, "screw it!" And so I'm drinking, even though I'm pretty sure I'm in the first day of my TWW. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-pain#post-473053 Mon, 31 Dec 2012 22:19:53 +0000 marionberry 473053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jennimac: Oh you're so sweet! Thank you! I wish I could drink lots tonight too. I hope I'm not abstaining for nothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-pain#post-472985 Mon, 31 Dec 2012 21:12:12 +0000 singingbee 472985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@marionberry: That's good to hear. This month they have been spread out over some last night and all today. I thought maybe I was done with EWCM, but then there was a 'whole new batch' this evening. Who knows! I do know that I"m going to enjoy not being pregnant by drinking lots of champagne. Maybe that will do the trick. : ) good luck with your TWW!!!! I'm crossing everything for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-pain#post-472844 Mon, 31 Dec 2012 18:27:57 +0000 marionberry 472844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't typically really get regular ovulation pains, but this cycle (with IUI and Clomid and HCG trigger shot) I had really strong ovulation (and possibly post ovulation) pains the day of my IUI and the two days afterward. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-pain#post-472753 Mon, 31 Dec 2012 16:35:07 +0000 singingbee 472753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I might get them when O-ing is done. I noticed less EWCM this morning and I usually have a ton leading up to O. The past two days I had lots and it was quite noticeable. We will BD tonight anyway for fun and maybe we timed it right this month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-pain#post-471971 Mon, 31 Dec 2012 10:06:50 +0000 blackbird 471971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would get the pains less than 24 hours before I got a positive on an OPK. I only got it while i was taking clomid, though, otherwise, i NEVER noticed them! But when I did, boy, were they strong! Good luck!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-pain#post-471674 Mon, 31 Dec 2012 00:35:34 +0000 Happygal 471674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to do a big 'ole cut and paste from the very popular peeonastick website. I just read it the other day and found it interesting:</p> <p>"18. My OPK results don't align with my ovulation pain. Is the OPK wrong? </p> <p>Most women don't really feel themselves ovulate. ("I do!" you're exclaiming.) Probably not. ("But look at my chart! It only happens around ovulation!") Yup, happens to me too . . . and it may be occurring the exact moment of ovulation. But in fact, studies on mittelschmerz have shown that a woman is just as likely to have these pains days before ovulation (when the egg follicle is growing, or a build-up of mucus in the Fallopian tubes getting ready for ovulation) or after ovulation (the egg bursts out of its follicle with some force-- sometimes women will experience spotting or moderate bleeding at this time.) Yes, you may actually feel the egg burst out of its follicle at the moment of ovulation-- but you could just as well be feeling the pre- or post-ovulatory effects. Or that burrito.</p> <p>Therefore, if your "ovulation pain" doesn't seem to jibe with the timing of your OPK, go with your OPK-- the presence of the hormone in your urine is a much better detector of ovulation than trying to make sense of twinges or tingles in your abdomen.</p> <p>For what it's worth, feeling or not feeling "ovulation pain"/mittelschmerz isn't important; some women feel it, some don't, some feel it only sometimes, some are in major pain (up to and including emergency room visits suspecting appendicitis), some are "Hmm, I felt a little twinge." All are variations on normal, and don't mean you are more or less fertile or anything like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-pain#post-471458 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 21:21:24 +0000 singingbee 471458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: Thanks....it sucks that it is just hard for all. I wish we could snap our fingers and be pregnant whenever we wanted. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-pain#post-471454 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 21:19:29 +0000 Ash 471454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jennimac: I can't imagine! I don't think it will be possible to ever relax, honestly. :( so sorry you are in this situation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-pain#post-471445 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 21:14:01 +0000 singingbee 471445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Grace: Thanks for that! I noticed on past charts that it did that, but those charts are over a year old now. </p> <p>@Ash: I know...I sometimes wish for it to feel the same way, but then I freak out and don't want it to start the same way. I know I won't relax until we get past 20 wks. or later. Of course, anything past 20 wks will be uncharted territory since that's when we lost our daughter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-pain#post-471440 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 21:12:02 +0000 Ash 471440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jennimac: we weren't either! I didn't have a clue about anything when we got pregnant in august. It sucks we have to figure it out because of a loss. I hope you get your sticky baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-pain#post-471429 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 21:07:02 +0000 Grace 471429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get the ovulation pain the day of ovulation; my temp goes up the next day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-pain#post-471417 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 21:03:23 +0000 singingbee 471417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: Thanks! good luck to you guys! I hope it works out for you! I may try an opk in the morning and see. Luckily, the timing worked out when I was off this month. Hopefully it will work this month. The month we did get pregnant, we weren't paying attention to anything. : / </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-pain#post-471401 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 20:55:18 +0000 Ash 471401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a positive opk yesterday and I'm feeling super crampy tonight. I'm so glad I did opks this month!<br /> And I'd definitely say bd for the next few days! Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ovulation-pain#post-471379 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 20:39:17 +0000 singingbee 471379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, I get ovulation pains each month, but I don't regularly chart anymore. It stressed me out, plus I sleep with my mouth open, etc. I stopped when I was pregnant the first time. </p> <p>My question to everyone is when/if you get these pains when do they occur in relation to ovulation? Is it before your temp spike, after your temp spike, never?</p> <p>DH and I BD Thursday and Friday, I'm feeling the start of pains tonight, and I'll see him tomorrow. I am definitely going to jump him as soon as I see him tomorrow and hopefully we can catch something this month. </p>
