Unusual Ovulation Symptoms - do you have any?!

[WhiteOrchid24]

One of the things with LTTTC is you get to know your body pretty well. With all of those months of charting, symptom watching and everything else that happens during this journey you start to notice things...

I'm just in the process of ovulating (fingers crossed!) and I get the "normal" symtoms such as a change in my CM, slightly sore boobs and cramps BUT I've realised over the last few months that I have recurring symptoms that I would normally ignore. A couple of days before the big O I'm always SUPER tired and cranky. I also seem to want to spend the entire day eating as I'm so hungry! Then I realised that my gums always start to bleed a bit and I get a stuffy nose! Occasionally I get nauseous.

I thought it might be fun (and a way to pass the time) to start this thread so we can all share those funny little things that our bodies do that we would normally not pay any attention to! I haven't been on clomid (or anything else yet) so I'm not sure how that changes things but since we all gear up to try to ovulate every month why not share your experiences - maybe it will all make us notice a few other things!

I have quite a few times found that after ovulation in a natural cycle I feel really tired and emotional, almost like pms.

 

[WhiteOrchid24]

Yes I definitely get the emotional part as well... yesterday I almost burst out crying at 2 different things that definitely didn't warrant any tears!!!

Fr me it doesn't really mean anything, just that its an emotional month. I also get every pregnancy symptom just about every month, so ill never know I'm pregnant until I have a positive test stick. Just a pain really.

Or have no symptoms! Normally for me about a week before my period is due I start to get sore breasts, that's when I know I'm pretty much out of luck for that month.

I often get gassy around O lol

Plus skin breaks out, annoying!

Since being on clomid, I get every TWW symptom going, so I am learning to ignore any and all symptoms now!

Hi girls, that is a good idea to share what kind of symptoms we have when O. First I have to say that not always I feel my O but most of the time. It starts with pain under the bellybutton. Then the pain moves one of the sides. My MC changes and I have enormous desire for BD . About 7 days after I have sore breasts and I now O has been.

 

[DAISYPRENCESS]

Oh I forgot to say that my skin changes and I have spots on my face before O and after.

 

[WhiteOrchid24]

It's funny cause after you mentioned it heres_hoping I realised how bad my skin was this month too. I normally get 1 or 2 little spots but this month I felt like a little patch of my face had completely broken out! Now it's totally gone! Hormones huh?!

Hi, I am having my O now and I can add some symptoms. I have sore nipples, cramps and spots on my face. I also feel sleepy but this might be because of my job .
