So I dont normally experience o pain but as I was expecting to o today I have been paying close attention. I felt for maybe a few minutes some pains from the lh side then about 20mins or so later maybe have longer pains from the rh side. Does this make any sense to anyone? Do you normally only feel pain on one side? I'm hoping I've ovulated or currently am as will be within 16-19 hours since bd!!
Same happened to me today. Kinda alternating side to side. Especially this evening, so I am thinking I am O'ing like... NOW lol, so I doubt I'll see a shift tomorrow but anything is possible I suppose. Plus OPK is getting lighter.Quote:

Not necessarily popping two eggs, maybe like, and forgive the gross analogy but it's late and all I can think of at the moment, if you think of your ovaries as skin and the follicles as zits (sorry!) One or more may not be ready yet... doesn't mean it won't hurt if pressure is applied... kinda like that. I don't know honestly... just a couple untested theories :shrug:
Hahaha love the description!! At least its night where you are and you'll have an answer soon!! Only 3pm here :( I'm hoping with everything ds2 sleeps through tonight!! Had to discard a temp 3 mornings ago as was up at 2.00am and again at 4.45am so needless to say temp was way out! Twointow I'm so excited for morning to see your temp rise fx fx fx!!! (and mine of course :) )
I could be wrong but I am not expecting a shift in the morning. It takes several hours for the temp to shift, I think I just O'd or am O'ing now, and I will be taking my temp in about 5 hours... or less if hubby's dozen alarms wake me. It is not uncommon and I've learned to compensate for the difference but generally there isn't much of one. A lot of times if I get woke up I'll take my temp because I can't always get back to sleep. Then, if I manage to get back to sleep, I'll take it again at my normal time and generally the difference is like 1-2 100ths of a degree... in other words barely a difference. YOU, on the other hand, if you're O'ing now you have a pretty good shot at seeing a shift in the morning! I guess we shall see what morning brings for both of us though! thanks for the :fingers: and right back at ya!Quote:

Feels sooo weird to NOT be BD'ing like bunnies right now! I feel like opportunity is just slipping away and I am just hanging out, doing nothing, lol.
Thank you! And I'm hoping so! Just have to see that temp rise and I'll feel way more confident! Well I'm hoping you see your shift even if your only 5 hours off taking! I also think anywhere from 12-36 hours from bd is a fantastic chance! We had someone with a o-2 one attempt that ended with a bfp last month think it was tiffsal?? Hearing you on strange not to be going at it like mad lol I remember 3-4 attempts in four days when ttc both my boys!!
I can't say how many attempts we had with my first. We were NTNP and the relationship was still new enough that we were the proverbial bunnies lol. With my second, we were actually technically on a TTC break because I had to take a cycle off of clomid and didn't expect to O so we only had 2 attempts (one on O-1 and one on O-3). With my third, I had a lot going on that cycle so we only had attempts on O, O-2 and O-3. Those were all my boys, and it is funny that the cycles we had the fewest attempts in the fertile window are the ones we conceived in(in other TTC cycles we have sometimes as many as 8 attempts in the fertile window and got BFNs), again except for my first possibly because I didn't chart and I don't remember. With my 4th preg, our DD, we weren't trying and semi-preventing. I thought I waited long enough for egg to be gone but we knew we were planning to TTC soon so we didn't wait the usual 3 days after temperature shift... it was more like 36'ish hours after first +OPK, after my CM and CP started to shift back to infertile, but before temp shift (oops, lol) but we caught the egg that night... either that or we got preg off a 5 day old deposit, lol. The fact that our one and only DD came from 1 attempt... without swaying no less, is the only thing keeping me from caving into instinct, lol.Quote:

*fingers crossed*for you Junie!

Hi Junie I can't believe I may o 2 days early!! It's just after 6pm and I don't know how I'm going to sleep tonight lol! Everything was so much more laid back and relaxed this time and if I see that spike I'm really going to feel like I nailed it and could'nt have timed better! Can I ask what opks you're using? Only because I used the cb dual after distastrous experiences with the strip kind! I can't believe the positives I see on the strips posted here I never seen anything close to what I've seen hence the change to digital which have been awesome for me. I hope you get your pos opk sooner than later and a dip in temp is a great sign that its coming in my experience anyway!!!
