Strange twinges...but AF ended last week

Havefuntrying · Feb 18th, 2013, 15:56 PM

Hi, so I guess I'm going to be testing in March too

I'm 33, DH is 41. We didn't waste much time this month and started trying yesterday (twice) and thinking of attempting the every other day approach.
My "problem" is that for the past couple of months I've been feeling sharp twinges in my sides (lower abdomen area) only 1 week after period has ended, and I'm wondering if this could be a sign of ovulation. It would be weird because my cycle is quite long (30 days) but fairly regular....any ideas?

Youngest here lol I'm 20, OH is 21, just started AF so I'll be testing March 19th. We've got one daughter who's 2 1/2 and we're really hoping for a little boy but we'll definitely be happy with whatever we get! (I'm secretly hoping for twins also but just because I would LOVE twins so much)

Hiiii

I'm 21 and DH is 24, they told me when I was 15 I have severe endometriosis and I might have a hard time having kids if I waited to long and dh and I were already dating at that point so I buckled down, graduated high school at 16, got my nursing degree and got married at 18 bought a house at 19 and started ttc at 20. We took a break for a while but now we're trying again and on cycle 4 this time around. If I got pregnant this month the baby would be due around my dads bday.

here's hoping. On cd8

Hey, I'd love to join the positive vibe here!

AF came today, so DH & I are super excited! I'll be starting on 50 mg of Clomid on Wednesday and you know the rest. Go in for blood work on the 11th and will test on the 25th.

I've never had regular cycles so I'm trying not to get too excited that anything will work this soon, but part of me still has to be hopeful.

Good luck ladies!!

Hi~ I'm 28 and DH is 33 and this is our 17th cycle of TTC. Last month we made the plunge and went to a fertility dr. I had a HSG, and the tube I have left wasn't blocked. The dr started me on Femara this month. I had a second U/S today, and one follicle was 17 mm, so my DH gets to give me a shot of HCG tomorrow night. (cause i'm too afraid to do it to myself.) I really hope things go right this month, b/c it looks like I'm going to ovulate from my right ovary, which is the good one.

I will be testing on March 8th, unless I get AF earlier, b/c it usually comes around the 5th or 6th.

Good Luck everyone!

hello ladies! I'm new and TTC #1! I'm on CD1 (af started today due to withdrawal bleeding from stopping nuvaring 5 days ago) idk when I'm going to ovulate yet due to just stopping HBC but we are actively trying after this AF..when should I start with ovulation tests?

If your cylce is normally the 28 day cycle then you would start testing on about CD 10. you should ovulate on CD14 but thats never really accurate.
Remember the first day of AF is your first cycle day so start counting! and GL!

Hi EVERYONE!

I am 21 my DH is 23. We are trying to conceive our first biological child. Our first child and the center of our world is adopted (well we are in the process of getting her adopted its a long story feel free to read my journal linked in my signature). She is 14 months old so we are hoping to have another one before she gets to old.
My issues are that my body doesn't ovulate and when it does my progesterone levels are to low for the pregnancy to survive. So Drs help is required for us to have a little one. At least I have a great dr who knows my family very well and knows our history

Thank you so much! I'm in the military so we would love to be successful before I get called up for deployment, obviously we would have to wait again if that happened :/ I will test starting CD10, thanks for the advice! This is so overwhelming! Lol
