cramps?

so I have gotten + opks on the CBE digital for 2 days in a row (yesterday and today). I really dont know if I o'd since I am not temping. Would mild cramps be a sign of o'ing? I cant really explain them otherwise. If I am o'ing now, would BD tonight be beneficial? Can you get pregnant once the egg has been released? From what I have read, for the most part, once the egg has been released, it isnt really ideal conditions any longer for sperm? Is that true?

Would today be DPO1 or 2?

Re: cramps?

Cramps defin can signal ovulation. I get cramps w/ ovulation sometimes. It is an uncomfortableness (is that a word?) I think since you got (+) yesterday and today you should defin BD. It can't hurt to try. I think your right with the whole once I egg is released thing. I think there is a 3-4 day fertility window each cycle. You might still be ok.

Re: cramps?

Do you feel pain on one side of your body? sometime I get pain or cramp like feeling on one side of my body. If so your ovulating!

Re: cramps?

Cramping is totally normal. In the past, once I started cramping within a day or 2 I would get the on the CBE OPK. We BD'ed the days before that and then 3 days after that and it worked.

Good luck!!

Re: cramps?

it was more in the middle, towards the left. i dont really feel it today.

we did BD last night. hope we are covered for this month, it was a little rough with the OPK's.

so, we BD'd on Thurs, Fri and Sun.
Got + opk's on Sat and Sunday. EWCM on Thursday and Fri. Only time will tell

lay off the beans



just FYI - i KNOW i ovulated from the RIGHT with Sophie - soooo since were identical twins im putting money on your right ovary

Re: cramps?

usually, yes. you get a corpus luteum (sp?) cyst, which is the follicle where the egg released. you could see mine until at least 12 weeks. i think it also functions to produce hormones and stuff for a while during the first trimester, then it dissolves after the placenta forms.




dont know if you remember, but around new years eve i have HORRIBLE pains, lower right quad. anthony almost took me to the hospital bc we thought either appedix of ruptured ovarian cyst. it was PROBABLY from ovulating or implantation
