Just wanted to see if any ladies had any insight or experience with sharp, pulling pains? I initially thought it was just auto flow gearing up to come but, alas no sign of aunt flow and more frequently i've been experiencing these pulling pains on my lower right side. Occasionally on left but it's not anywhere near the same as i've been feeling on the right side. If anything it's just kind of a ripple of the feeling. About a week ago, I stretched and felt a really big pull on the right side that went into my thigh area. I plan on testing in the next couple of day if aunt flow still does not show. I did have unprotected sex with my ex-fiancee (Yeah. didn't turn out so well) when I was ovulating. So, just wanting to pick some brains and see if anyone had experienced this and if it turned out to be something else?
As far as any additional information, I have not had my usual signs of my period coming. I generally always have one or two cystic zits pop up and cramps...but these pulling pains are just...different. With all the craziness, i'm also wondering if maybe it's just delaying my period?
Thank you!
AS A NOTE:
since we have the grumpies that like to reply, my question is NOT if i'm pregnant. It is, if any of your experienced these types of pulling pains and it indeed, turned out to be something other than being pg. If you are here to merely be sarcastic or rude please skip this because I don't have the time or patience for internet trolls or rude women in general. Thanks!

It's against TOU to ask, even in roundabout ways, if we think you're pregnant. But for what it's worth, the "craziness" you've described just sounds like mittelschmerz, which I get when I'm ovulating.
I was asking if anyone else experienced these and if it turned out to be something other than being pregnant. So, I am not interested in getting a yes or no from you women haha sorry if that's what it seemed like. I can take a test for that.
since we have the grumpies that like to reply, my question is NOT if i'm pregnant. It is, if any of your experienced these types of pulling pains and it indeed, turned out to be something other than being pg.

Thanks for clarifying, but everyone who asks these kinds of questions says this exact same thing.

I have experienced similar things, and also was not pregnant. Bodies are weird. Don't over analyze. If you think you might be pregnant take a test. If test is negative you are not pregnant at this time.

One post in and you are calling regulars "grumpies", "trolls" and "rude". If you want advise from this community try offering support and participating in threads like TWW, where there may be people experiencing the same symptoms as you, but not cluttering the board by creating an entire post for themselves.
ETA: Sorry, forgot "sarcastic"- which is usually my main MO.
OP I know these responses seem unfair to you, but you took a gamble posting this on a board that you hadn't lurked to get to know first or read the newbie guide.
Questions of this kind happen every so often and get the same response. Simply because we really can't help you understand what's going on with you - we don't encourage comparison of symptoms as every woman's body is different and symptoms mean different things for everyone.
It's just the way we are and it makes this board more valuable than the other ttc boards.
My genuine advice would be just wait it out until you can test, we are literally all doing just that ourselves, and I hope you get the result you want.
@ohgiina I cant believe you decided calling everyone trolls.. but Congrats on the unprotected sex. You may be pregnant, but I would have no idea because I have never been pregnant (you did post on a trying to get pregnant board). If I were you, I would just take a test - it would ease your mind on your ex-fiance and then if you are worried about the pain, maybe you should see a doctor.

If your question wasn't whether you were pregnant or not, why did you feel the need to include that you had unprotected sex while ovulating? "I have this pain in my side. I had unprotected sex while ovulating and my period isn't here yet, do you know what it is?" Does that really sound like a non-am-I-pregnant-question, when you simplify it to what you're really saying here?
Regardless -- yeah. Lots of times I've experienced pains like that. It's called a pulled muscle. I've had it bad enough I went to the walk-in because it lasted for 48 hours and I couldn't breathe without it hurting. It happens. You don't need to tell us you're having unprotected sex to ask if we've had a pulled muscle before.. Rest, ice it on occasion, take something for the pain if it hurts bad enough, and just chillax.

Internet trolls? Everyone who responded to your thread is a regular contributor to this community. As in, most all of us post and support each other on a daily basis. Believe me, no one is here to be rude. Except, perhaps you, apparently.
Also, you can deny it all you want, but basically you were asking if we thought you could be pregnant. The responders all gave you the right advice: take a test, read the pinned Newbie guide so that you know how this board works. Sorry that no one responded how you wanted them to.

I'm sorry, Princess, that you didn't get the responses you were hoping for. As PPs have said, you've posted on a board before you took the time to learn the TOU and the overall expectations for the people who post here. You asked in a roundabout way if a bunch of Internet strangers thought you are pregnant and then called them trolls for not responding the way you wanted.
You have to give respect to get it, Princess. The women on this board are a wealth of knowledge and support, if you learn the TOU and offer support to them. You obviously aren't interested in helping others.

OP, since you asked, yes, I have experienced "pulling pains" and I have also had unprotected sex while ovulating but that doesn't mean anything because we all experience different things. Also, how do you know you were ovulating? This "grump" as you so nicely put temp and track to confirm ovulation.
I honestly didn't read the whole thing because there isn't anything I (or anyone else on the board) can tell you. We are not medical professionals. Everyone person's body is different. One person's aches/pains might be caused by a different reason than yours. If you have odd pains that you feel are concerning, make an appointment with your doctor. Your doctor knows you medical history and you can discuss with him/her any further pains or issues that you might be experiencing.
We not grumpy here, we're just straight forward. These boards can be a wealthy of knowledge and we like to keep them clean and full of purposeful questions that might help others. Asking about particular pains related to your body doesn't help to provide information to others who are on their TTC journey. If we let everyone post their every ache/pain, these boards would be overloaded with useless posts and the good ones would be lost.
