Help! Did I ovulate?!

[Maureenhdez]

With the increased hormones, she said I may have ovulated twice, which I believe is how twins are conceived?

Oh but right in a row, right?? Not weeks apart? (because that is impossible)

[Maureenhdez]

That would be my guess, she didn’t say exactly, just that I may have ovulated twice and the extra hormones may have caused my symptoms. I was having pain on both ovaries, very nauseous, bloated. I did also have a cyst on my ovary which could be the reason for some symptoms too.

Occasionally we run across a doctor that will make some very strange and biologically impossible (or at least totally unproven) claim - such as "you ovulated twice several weeks apart" and in that case I will tell you guys to get a new doctor. It happens often enough that when something seems hinky I like to ask for your guys' safety and your best medical care since we don't want anyone going to a doc that doesn't seem to understand the most basic biology (or, more often, DOES, and fibs to reassure people about what's going on with their bodies)

That does not seem to be the case here, she was suggesting that a double ovulation may have made you more "hormoney" - now personally I suspect it was the cyst but at least it's biologically plausible that a double O could have contributed to the symptoms.

Long story short, it sounds like you're in good hands, pardon my nosiness, just that we've had enough people who weren't in good hands I like to be proactive about that.

She did say it could also be from the cyst. According to my opk’s, it seemed I had that EWCM 4 and 5 days before O. During O I had sticky CM, and the day after I had EWCM again.

That is not in any way unusual. Many people have EWCM for 5-7 days before ovulation that dries up either the day before O or on O Day. And it's not unusual to have CM after O for a day or so, too. It's not directly related to ovulation, it's the hormones that you have around ovulation that make both ovulation and EWCM.
