Hey just looking to see if anyone can shed some light!
My cycles average a good 30-35 days, more often falling around the 33 day mark. For the past few months, and almost every month, I get some sensitive nips and tender boobs (hard to tell if it's front, side, etc because they aren't outrageously sore- usually just notice going down the stairs or something!).
I am trying to figure out if the majority of women get soreness/sensitivity before, during or after ov?
This month we actually tried for our first time, I tried sing OPK and saw some rises and falls but never a full positive, honestly i just assumed i missed it and didn't worry too much. Around the same time, CD 16-19, i was very wet, moist and showing lots of ewcm, CD19-21 I started experiencing ov cramps (as per usual). We DTD basically 4 days on and 1 day off. By CD 22 my CM had dried up (still moist but nothing in comparison to before), CD 23 I started cramping a little again, still dry though CM wise (be BD anyway), tender BBD started (all this is par for the course for me around thsee calendar dates). I took a dollarama OPK just for fun, just to see if the line was gone now. Well wouldn't you know it was the darkest I had EVER seen, looked pretty damn pos.
So now I'm frustrated, thinking I actually didn't surge and don't surge until CD 23 which puts my luteal phase at 10-11 days long. It just seems so odd since every other sign points to me having ovulated 2-3 days prior! The CM, the cramps, acne, following with dryness, a little more cramping and nipples sensitive/ BB tender.
I don't temp, too much of a crazy sched with shift work it would be to stressful (don't need to add anymore).
I'm sorry for the long long post- just need some insight. First time using OPK, but these symptoms are every month, almost the exact CD days. It's the boobs that I don't get- I hear they normally hurt a couple days after ov- which would make sense if I O'd when I thought I did.....but according to OPK I did not. Ugh.
So what are your thoughts?
