Secondary IF

Cramping?

Hi from an SIF Newbie.  

I was on clomid this cycle and metformin.   I have PCOS with insulin resistance.  This is my first cycle on meds as well as using my CBFM.  My CBFM has been testing high fertility all week but hasn't peaked. We had intercourse on Monday. Since Tuesday, I have had this cramping feeling off and on.  I am still testing high fertility still as of today.   Any idea what this cramping could be?

I go for my blood test next week to check my levels.

Re: Cramping?

  • It could be ovulation and just not a high enough surge for monitor to hit peak. Or it could be pains from the follies growing larger? 

    Good luck though!!

  • It could be O pains.  I have used the CBFM in the past, and the first month I used it never got a peak reading.  The reason is that the monitor has some artificial intelligence and retains information from cycle to cycle, this being the case the first cycle it's still "getting to know you" and may not register your peak.  

    You could buy a few OPK sticks, to double check, or just go with the pains as being from o'ing.  Next month the CBFM should register your peak.  Hope that helps.

  • I have noticed more significant ovulation pain since starting meds (Letrozole in my case), and from what I understand it is from having multiple follicles.  I've had anywhere from 2-5 follicle per month, and I can feel the difference for sure!  Ouch!
