Cramps for several days BEFORE ovulation?

GreenEyesinNC

I have been having cramping for past two days and my temps are still low indicating no ovulation. I know cramping during O is common, but has anyone had cramping for 2-3 days before ovulation??

I have had that for the last two cycles and I have no idea why.  Maybe I'm just paying attention to it more.  This cycle wasn't too bad but last cycle was downright painful.

Yes, I typically get cramps anywhere from 2-3 days during my cycle prior to O.  I've had light cramps since Monday and I am fairly certain I Oed yesterday.  So I think a few days of cramping is normal.

Same here, maybe you have just not noticed it as much before or maybe they are worse this cycle than normal. I often have cramps at least 1 day before I ovulate.

I think that monkey suit made me ovulate!  Seriously, so stinkin' cute!!

I start cramping 3-5 days before ovulation.  It gets worse as worse the closer I get then completely goes away once I O.

Thanks for the reassurance ladies! I always thought cramping occurred during ovulation, not days before. Diane - you crack me up! He is a cutie isn't he? I have to updatde the pic though as that was obviously from Halloween!!!

This is normal for me as well.  I get crampy and a bit bloated about 1-2 days before O.

I am so glad someone asked this question.  I feel like I have been cramping for 3-4 days, and am supposed to O today.  My CM isn't clear and stringy though, it is still white-ish... I wonder if that means I won't O for another couple days?  My period began on July 18, and is consistent but because I have been on the pill until July 12th.  Anyone in the same boat-ish?

I have been having cramps today and one sharp pain. Cramps a little yesterday too

This cycle, I had O pains 4 days before I O'd. It didn't go away until the day after O. It was quite uncomfortable, not to mention frustrating when it took days to turn the OPK positive.
