Could I be ovulating? (may be TMI)

[Mommy Dearest]

So, since I've just started keeping track of my cycles and don't use OPK's I'm unsure when I ovulate. I felt some twinges in my right side earlier, that seemed a little higher than normal O pains. I just got done with AF the 3rd, and according to what I do have marked, I shouldn't O until around the 15th. Can you O 5 days after your AF? Anyways... I felt those cramps earlier, then I went to the bathroom and when I wiped there was the tiniest little streak of red. After that I had this uncomfortable feeling right in the middle of my lower stomach.. almost pelvic region (around where my uterus is). It didn't really hurt, it just felt like... heavy?? lol Then later while at work, there was some brownish color on my panty liner, and the lightest little tinge of brown on the toilet paper. The last time I used the potty, there was nothing there. I'm so confused at my body right now. I BDed this past weekend (saturday night), could that be it? Maybe possible implantation? I'm thinking I want to BD today just to make sure... if it IS my Oday. Any thoughts because I have no idea!

It depends on how regular your periods are. I know I've o'd that soon too, but then some months it is 18+ days. The best thing to do is wait a week and test. It "sounds" like implantation, but if your like me you never know. Tomorrow I start using my opk's, and I'm going to take my Robitussin and start drinking my water for my ewcm to improve.

for us all. I would definitely start using the opk's. It helped me.

I know. I was always so regular before I gave birth to my daughter... now I just think I'm out of wack. Well thanks for the advice, I think I'll have to consider starting OPK's next cycle. Can I ask what the Robitussin does for your ewcm?

This is what I was told, also you can find other threads about it. Hope this helps.

How much Robitussin do you take and how often? This is the first time I've heard of this.

You might have heard of taking Mucinex before? Its the guafinsein in them both that makes it increase CM. I heard 2 tsp three times a day is the recommended dose, I have heard other girls just take it on days they will . I started taking it once a day, usually in the afternoon. This dose has been great for me. You work your way up to the max dose recommended on the bottle if you need to. It is really popular with the Clomid girls, since the Clomid decreases your CM. They make a pill form too. It is not very well tested in PG so I think they also recommend to stop it after you OV. Hope it works for you!
