I have a pretty regular 28 day cycle and ovulation is typically around day 14 for me. If my cycles weren't normal I'd probably try charting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-ovulation-symptoms#post-429122 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 11:33:33 +0000 Charm54 429122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me, EWCM (actually it's more wet than EW) and acne. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-ovulation-symptoms#post-428478 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 20:54:36 +0000 sslm 428478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got EWCM, no other signs... except I would usually notice an increase in my sex drive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-ovulation-symptoms#post-428393 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 19:45:38 +0000 Bao 428393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pinchy feeling near ovaries and lots of EWCM. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-ovulation-symptoms#post-428352 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 19:15:59 +0000 Happygal 428352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think charting could do the opposite of making you psycho--it gives you a sense of empowerment to know what is going on with your body. It's kind of fun!</p> <p>I bought the expensive OPKs for my first go round, and used them sparingly (only twice) for November. Mistake! My plan for Dec. is to use the Wondfos, then a digital one if I'm confused or need extra confirmation.</p> <p>My O symptoms are EWCM and cramps. Nothing more than that, but as with everything in TTC, everyone is different! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-ovulation-symptoms#post-428330 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 18:51:49 +0000 mlm2934 428330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chibee: i'm resistant to charting cause it will make me even more psycho, but i probably really need to!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-ovulation-symptoms#post-428320 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 18:37:40 +0000 spaniellove 428320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chibee: The one cycle I decided not to temp, my OPKs suddenly followed a different pattern. They had always been so reliable - one day of lighter positive followed by darker positive, and the second day was always the day of O. That cycle, it was all messed up and it never went back to that pattern! I went back to charting after that.</p> <p>@runnerd: That's why I try to test in the mornings and then twice a day only when I think I'm maybe a day or two from O. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-ovulation-symptoms#post-428309 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 18:24:22 +0000 chibee 428309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>god i totally feel you on this - im now wondering if I missed my surge because i have never ovulated this late. and of course this the one month i decided NOT to temp. let me know how it turns out, and i'm thinking maybe we should both chart our temps next cycle! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-ovulation-symptoms#post-428307 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 18:24:16 +0000 futuremama 428307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runnerd: Like Leialou, I gave up on the Wondfos and splurged on the CBE OPKs. I never got a result on a Wondfo that I was confident was a positive. The smiley face is pretty clear though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-ovulation-symptoms#post-428305 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 18:21:37 +0000 mlm2934 428305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: i don't chart chart, i was doing 2x tests, but i drink so much water during the day, i don't know if they were reliable in the afternoons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-ovulation-symptoms#post-428296 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 18:11:52 +0000 Foodnerd81 428296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never had reliable symptoms that I was Oing. I charted my temps so I could confirm after the fact that I did O, but I couldn't tell just on symptoms. Sometimes I thought I had an O pain or something, but I really think I was just symptom spotting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-ovulation-symptoms#post-428294 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 18:10:40 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 428294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's why I splurge on digital OPKs. They are so hard to read otherwise! And since I'm using them to time an IUI I really have to be certain. My ovulation signs are lots of ewcm and sharp pinching type cramps on either my right or left side. The cramps last a couple hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-ovulation-symptoms#post-428291 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 18:09:40 +0000 spaniellove 428291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to ask: 1) are you charting? 2) how often are/were you testing? If you're only testing once a day it's totally possible to miss your LH surge! </p> <p>It's also possible for your body to try to ovulate and not do it, and then try again later in your cycle. I don't have a whole lot of symptoms around O other than EWCM... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-ovulation-symptoms#post-428284 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 17:57:59 +0000 mlm2934 428284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm so so so frustrated right now with my OPK. i got my strongest lines over a week ago, which i thought (and still think) were negative, but i'm not sure anymore, b/c i still haven't had a positive. i wonder if i will ever get a positive - i have to pee all the time cause i drink a lot of water, so it's really hard for me to hold it for testing!!!!</p> <p>anyways, i had some spotting and very faint cramps last week a few days after the darker OPKs that i thought were negative. still didn't think they were positive, b/c today is when i was expecting positive. </p> <p>now the past two days i have had "twinge" type pains in nipples - is that an ovulation sign? or does that only happen after ovulation?</p> <p>what are your normal ovulation symptoms? </p>
