Crazy cramping over here...what should I do??
Ok... so I originally started doing OPKs on cd6, and stopped after cd14 since:
a. I totally messed up the testing - not knowing to when to "hold", how to "hold" and testing with FMU
b. I thought was starting an IBS 'flare up' (not going into those details...) with the cramping feeling.
Today, at cd18, I don't know if I O'd, but I have been having serious cramping (not intense, but definitely noticeable where sometimes it'll stop me in my tracks) intermittently since day 14... a day of VERY light bleeding on cd14 as well... DH and I have made it a point to BD every other night since cd6 (we decided to start trying earlier - since my cycles were so screwy the last four months- None of my cycles were shorter than 28 days, but no longer than 38... )
So now, I am lost in the realm of this cycle, which I don't mind being (since I can start over next month), but I'm REALLY uncomfortable and tired. I tried going for a run this afternoon to boost my energy, but the pain in my lower abdomen was too much, and my boobs really hurt too.
What should I do? What would you do?

Re: Crazy cramping over here...what should I do??
Because of the bleeding I would rest. It could be implantation bleeding. Whatever the reason, I would rest. If you are tired- sleep. If your body is trying to make a baby stick then take a nap. The cramps I think you will just have to deal with. How may DPO are you? Is it too early for you to POAS?

I don't know how many DPO I am... since I never got a +OPK... if I took the average of the last two cycles and divided them I would say I am at least 4-5dpo... but b/c the OPK test we're so messed up idk when I O'd.

Too early to POAS. Sounds like you may have some pg symptoms but it's way too early to know. I would just try to get all the rest you can especially if you feel tired. Keep your fingers crossed and wait 7 days to POAS. Good Luck!!

I was thinking the same thing... but began to get the itch to test... I just needed to hear it from someone else (other than DH - who thinks he knows everything about the female reproductive system  )

I agree with it being too early. I think you can take Tylenol if you are really uncomfortable. Good luck- your symptoms sound great!

It's hard to tell! If you have had cycles that are 38 days long, then you can't even really know if you O'd yet.
I would wait until your longest cycle length before testing, and I'd keep BDing just in case!

I have sticks left from the OPK... should I just start retesting... just to use them - they're no good after 30 of opening the package anyway...
