Always the day I would get my positive ovulation test. Get your BD in and good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-these-cramps-mean#post-24747 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 19:29:14 +0000 MrsLilybugg 24747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok thanks everyone ! Bd'ing this entire week to be sure to make it count. I looked up the middlesmertz it does seem similar </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-these-cramps-mean#post-24726 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 19:01:40 +0000 cyneswith 24726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was gonna ask something similar. I know what my mittelschmerz feels like (gentle cramping off to one side), but now AFTER all my O signs are done, I'm having period-like cramps (central, uterus wide.) Too soon for implantation for me, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-these-cramps-mean#post-24708 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 18:34:32 +0000 Rosie Girl 24708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It very well could be the egg being released. I know that when I did HCG injections, I would get SO crampy from them making the egg be released. So, despite the bad cramps, get busy!!! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-these-cramps-mean#post-24686 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 18:09:55 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 24686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I cramp most months right around ovulation, but this month they have been much worse. As far as I know, its fairly common to get cramps right around ovulation, though like MaisyMay said, if it's after ovulation, it COULD be implantation cramps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-these-cramps-mean#post-24380 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 13:19:04 +0000 MrsMccarthy 24380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>sounds like middlesmertz to me. i don't get it though so i wouldn't know firsthand. but many do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-these-cramps-mean#post-24298 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 12:11:41 +0000 MaisyMay 24298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It could be ovulation cramps, which would tell you that this is a great time to BD. It's way to early for implantation spotting/cramping; however, if you feel cramps in about a week, that is what those could be. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-these-cramps-mean#post-24297 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 12:10:50 +0000 carrieknitscake 24297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Possibly ovulation cramps. Some months, I'm crampy around ovulation and others not. Definitely keep BDing through the + OPK. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-these-cramps-mean#post-24290 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 12:07:18 +0000 AlyB25 24290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i had the exact same feelings as you did yesterday as well. It felt very crampy and almost pinching, and I felt a lot of pressure on my bladder when I was urinating (tmi!). I also felt it on my left side with each step I took. It happened from about 2pm to 8pm...I read that you can get ovulation cramps before, during, or after you ovulate, so it is really hard to pin point exactly where you are. I would keep BDing though if you got a +OPK. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-these-cramps-mean#post-24234 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 11:08:30 +0000 MrsLilybugg 24234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a smiley face on my OPK last night (11/29) and this morning I'm feeling really crampy. So much so that I can't really sit at my desk, I keep having to stand and stretch. My sides are crampy too. Is this the egg being released? I have been on BC for so long I have no idea what's going on with my body. </p>
