Ugh!!! What do you think? Honest opinions.

DH and I were going for abstain with dtd once on positive opk. I had been using the clearblue advance which will show a blinking face when I'm high fertility and a steady face when I'm peak. I got two days of blinking. On the third day in the morning, I got another blinking. I tested again around 9pm when I got home. While waiting for the test, I checked my cm, I discovered for the first time I was having ovulation spotting. It was a dark brown discharge. I could also feel both sides of my ovaries with a tiny bit of cramping. Sure enough, the opk had a steady face. I should have ovulated 12-36 hours after that. BUT, I think I was ovulating then! DH and I dtd right after but I really think I missed O. :(

I don't temp, so I have no idea. This is my first cycle getting O spotting. I'm surprised about my ovulation pain too. Usually I get it really bad on one side. This was more of a twinge on both sides. So, honestly, do you think I could still catch the egg? I've read it takes about 10 hours for sperm to capacitation, and the egg only lives usually 12 hours...so I don't know. I'm hoping for a miracle that I didn't ovulate then. But signs point to it that I did.

Hi Zip... I believe it only takes sperm 4 hours to reach the egg and the egg does live for 24 hours so I am sure that you still had plenty of time if you were in fact oing then! Good luck! Atomic please correct me if I am wrong :)

Thank you, Bayoudancer!

I hope you're right. The only thing that would slow it down is Capacitation which I heard is needed in order for a sperm to even fertilize an egg.

sounds like perfect timing to me, good luck

You can't tell from symptoms when you ovulated so please don't read much into them.

At ovulation, your cervix is also very soft and can sometimes bleed a little bit, so what you thought was O spotting very well may have been from your cervix and nothing to do with ovulation.

It is totally normal to have pain on both sides around ovulation, you develop eggs in both sides every month and only the best and biggest one gets released. Some people actually have worse pain in the ovary that doesn't ovulate because the pressure isn't released at all.

I think you're in it to win it this month.

Thank you!! All 3 of you give me hope! I'm so excited now. :) thank you so much! :)
