When do you get O pains?

Before or during O?

I had some cramps today and I thought it was too early. I have also noticed an increase in CM-- haven't checked my journal from last cycle yet though. I got two negative OPKs now-- but, my *pee* was not too concentrated.

Re: When do you get O pains?

I think cramps come right before the egg drops. Last month, I had all the signs of O - CM, cramping, etc, and I kept waiting for the darn OPK to give us the go, and it never did. We held out waiting for the stick to tell us what to do and missed it. I say listen to what your body is telling you, and go get busy!

I don't get them often but when I do it's usually right around the time I O.

Re: When do you get O pains?

I had them SOOO bad on Thursday night and Friday during the day and I got a OPK reading on Friday!!!

Re: When do you get O pains?

I had them really bad for a brief period of time yesterday afternoon. I am on CD13 (according to when the RE's assistant told me what I should count as CD1). If I use when I first started spotting, I would be on CD16. So in actuality, I am probably somewhere between the two.

Now, if I had a regular length cycle-- 28 to 30 days, I would be right on track, but last cycle I O'd on CD28. So I am thinking-- way early for me here.

I also saw some ferning on my ovulation microscope today. So far, my OPKs have been negative though. And, I do have CM-- although that is when I am really *checking* for it. It's evident and I feel it, but the last two cycles-- I couldn't miss it!

Could it be that the Vitex is working and my cycles are getting shorter?? Oh my! Depending on when I O, there is still some chance for a 2008 baby yet!
