This is a TMI-free zone! :) You can ask about anything, we are all in the same boat!
I have a funny (but kind of shocking) essay on the subject here. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...tml#post378932
Atomic- on the subject of timing or frequency I should say-
I'm doing practice runs every month until October. Just so I'm totally in tune with my body by then. So you recommend bding 3x after +opk correct? Preceded by bding every 2-4 days to increase sperm count and motility. So to clarify, I tested positive yesterday morning, so me and DH should (theoretically) dtd that same morning, in the evening, then the next morning aka this morning?
Then my second question- I've heard of some people being able to feel ovulation when it is happening. Either on the left or right and alternation each cycle.. So I tested positive yesterday for my LH surge at around 8:30am. I am feeling menstrual-like cramps on my left side today at 2:30pm.. Could this be my actually moment of ovulation? And if that is the case- would it be beneficial for me to dtd at the moment I FEEL ovulation occurring? Or should I stick to dtd after first +opk.

Oh and also- could I be hyperolvulating right now? I've never felt pain before during ovulation.. And this is excruciating! Could I be releasing more than one egg?

Nann, I don't want to hijack your thread but I was reading about your prior workouts and it got me concerned. I've been doing Insanity which is a pretty intense workout for 40 minutes and wondering if I should drop it. I don't know what to do though since I prefer a DVD where someone is telling me what to do. I'm not very self-motivated.
I just tracked my diet on myfitnesspal and it looks like I'm eating 2300-2500 calories of mostly unprocessed foods. I just started all of this though so I'm not sure if that will counteract the intense exercise.
Your totally fine comment away:) I think you'll be TOTALLY fine if your keeping your calories up! The second you end with a calorie deficit every day consistently is when it could sway pink and which is why I basically swayed pink for my girl and didn't even know it!

It's fine to keep an eye on your cycle for now but do be aware things have a funny way of going pearshaped in the month of TTC so don't take it as being set in stone.Quote:

THis can actually relieve pressure meaning you can have worse pain in the ovary you DON'T ovulate from. The fluid that comes from the follicle can cause irritation and pain in the abdomen for days after ovulation. And also both Fallopian Tubes cramp after ovulation and this can cause pain. Additionally, the high level of estrogen can cause uterine cramping too. So it is just not at all reliable and you really really need to go off of OPK because that is a measurable thing happening (hormone levels)
Many people have noticed that when they sway blue they suddenly start getting wicked O pains. I have 4 boys and I have terribly painful ovulation and several of us moms of all boys have bad O pains. WE don't know why but it may be something to do with the diet making more hormones. It isn't hyperovulation, it's just seemingly something that some people experience.
If you're eating enough, you can get away with more exercise and it may even help. I would not do more than 40-45 min but I have seen boys conceived with Insanity. (Lol that sounded funny)Quote:

Hey atomic I have another question for you... I'm really wanting to run again... I kno you recommend low to no cardio... But is there a way to eat enough so the running doesn't affect my sway?? Like getting enough calories from the he diet so I don't burn through it by running and sway pink? I crave running so much I'm like sick over it :(
