I am on CD11 and last night and this morning again(on and off) I am cramping on my left side. I am thinking that I am having O pains before my "O"day. According to my chart I should be "busy with DH" starting the 25th until the 30th. How exciting!
Do you guys have O pains before you actually O?


Re: CD11 - Cramps
I don't typically have any ovulation pain. However, this month I am spotting (CD 12 & CD 14 - which is today) and have slight cramping. This is only my third month charting, so I only have two other O dates to guess when I "typically" ovulate (CD 16 and CD18).
If you aren't charting your basal body temperature, cervical fluid and ovulation predictor kits test results, you don't really have any way of knowing whether or not you are definitely ovulating.
A lot of us chart using Fertility Friend. You can try it out and take the tutorials (it's free) by clicking on the tickers in any of our signatures. GL!
Ladies,
I've been charting but with a toddler its impossible to keep up with taking your temp every morning. She wakes up at different times (from 6am to 5am) and I forget to take my temp as I am trying to take care of her.
I can't speak for everyone else, but I suggested FF because 99% of the time when someone has the bump ticker, they usually don't know about charting and might find it helpful.
I guess, good luck & welcome?
