[CLOSED GROUP] TTC to 1st diaper - Welcome Freya! Congrats to fezzle!

[Snackimals]

dont over think it Clandie...
i think you are right.

it also crossed my mind last night that because of my meds, i may not get a positive OPK this cycle... but i DEF felt ovulation cramps and 'bloating' yesterday. dont matter what the stick says. (the window on the CB test was again showing a faded second line).

im gunna stick to my own story, and interpretation of my own body

 

[ClandestineTX]

Kitten in cantaloupe = super cute.

I think you are right about not over thinking it - everything pointed toward imminent O and now everything has vanished - so I'm thinking O happened. I'm sticking to my story.

And to torture myself? I took a temp at 1235 PM. And it was 98.75 (after it was 96.80 at 430 AM). Would almost bet money it's going to be way up tomorrow morning.

 

[ClandestineTX]

If your chart is accurate, Snack, you only took the meds for a few days? If that's the case, O should still happen for you this cycle (or did already).

 

[Snackimals]

-oh, im still on the meds... lighter dose. but of course teaching Mr.Snack how to enter those in by himself... FORGET it. I'll go in and fix those myself probably.

 

[MIZZYD]

Ok, question, what is the difference between period cramps and ovulation cramps??

 

[Mrs. JJ]

For me O cramps are more like little twinges on one side of the body depending on which ovary I'm ovulating from. I think everyone probably has different experiences.

 

[Snackimals]

ditto.
they are less intense, and don't progressively get worse or anything. they are just 'twinges' that are more sudden and go away.
i get bloating and some IBS with those, also.

 

[LillyTame]

For me OV pain isn't anything like AF cramps...it's a pinching/twisting sensation...I imagine someone taking my ovary between their 2 fingers and slooowly twisting!

 

[Mrs. JJ]

Oh ya, ditto on the bloating!

 

[lamago]

For me, I get most of my pains during ovulation I dont feel much in the way of AF except for bloating and shaking in the uterus. Thats the beast way to describe it because its not painful

 

[Ameli]

I never really noticed O pains until we were TTC, and for me they're mild and like little pinching/twisting like Lilly said. They also don't come along with the heavy feeling the pre-AF cramps do.

Totally hating myself for switching brands, even though I don't think I ever got a positive quite this impressive with the Wondfos.

 

[LillyTame]

Ugh! See...I just got the Wondfos....1st time with them...wasn't a concious choice, just picked the wrong supplier I guess. I hope the Wondfos work fine for me. I'm kicking myself for not paying closer attention. Would perfer to go with the ones I'm used to and know work for me.

 

[ClandestineTX]

@Lilly: the Wondfos work just fine - used them for months. Switched to the Babi's because they were cheaper on Amazon! Have also used the Target brand ones, and always have gotten super dark (technically negative) OPKs.

 

[MIZZYD]

Interesting, I don't know if I have never gotten O pains, or just never noticed before. I usually start cramping about 2 weeks before AF gets here, so now I am wondering if those were O pains or regular cramps.

 

[Mrs. JJ]

Oh you'll notice now! I never noticed them before I started learning about TTC.

 

[LillyTame]

You may not get them! So don't be worried if you don't. Not everyone feels/notices them. But like Mrs. JJ says...now that you are aware of what to look for you probably will notice.

(food issues, part II: I discovered a bag of See's chocolates in the drawer of the desk I am at today- I share spaces at our satellite office sometimes, so someone else may have used my desk this week. I figured 'no one would notice if I ate just one'.... or two... or threee.... I think I have reached the point where I must make the entire bag disappear. What IS my problem..?! )

 

[lamago]

LOL, no kidding I notice every little move now!

Leave an anonymous thank you note an replace it with something new - like a secret present for whomever uses the desk next.
