Signs of Ovulation?

SassyLew2SassyLew2 member
in Trying to Get Pregnant
My DH thinks I'm crazy because I keep smelling and tasting things that he can't. I smell and taste mold a lot and my sense of smell has definitely been on the rise. On top of that I get weird nausea spells too. I don't ovulate on my own and haven't for about 5 years now, so I really have no idea what to expect when/if I do ovulate. Could these been any indication of O'ing? I'm suppose to tomorrow.

    I haven't heard of those signs being anything related to ovulation.  And what do you mean you "taste" mold?  You lick it?  B/c that's gross!  And will probably make you sick.

    If you want to know if you ovulate or not, chart on fertility friend.  You can get there by clicking on my ticker.

    So happy for my BFPB Steff13914 and her new twins! Welcome to the world sweet babies:) Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker

    No I am not intentionally eating mold! Haha. Just regular meals that the whole family is eating at the same time..It tastes moldy to me and no one else notices it. I charted on FF for 5 months, but I haven't been keeping it updated. I just started temping again a few days ago to get back into habit. I'm getting b/w done next week to check progesterone levels, so we'll see.

    Mold detection is NOT an ovulation sign.

    I don't think that mold is an indicator of ovulation. I've just heard that heightened senses can be a sign and my senses have been going crazy.

    I've heard of that for pregnancy, not for ovulation.

    You're not crazy! I had a similar experience a couple weeks ago when I think I was about to ovulate. I just started charting last week (odd timing, I know, but I figured I'd start right away to get the hang of it before starting a new cycle) so for this cycle I'm not sure exactly when it happened. I was SUPER sensitive to smells and no one else around had any idea what I was talking about. The mold thing, I know what you mean because I feel the same way in general with certain foods ... carrots = almost always, apples = from time to time. They aren't moldy or rotten, they just have this scent and taste that is moldy, like a musty basement smell.

    I have found several sites that list heightened sense of smell a possible symptom of ovulation, but as far as timing is concerned you're probably better off relying on charting temps and CM.

    Charting on Fertility Friend really helps. You can input any & all signs and start to see patterns develop. Everyone has different symptoms. Good luck :)

    I'm so glad to hear I'm not alone! I was eating a fruit salad (heavenly fruit salad w/ cool whip) last night and it all tasted moldy. I normally love it and everyone else ate a ton, but I couldn't! I've been temping this week and doing OPK's. Nothing yet..hopefully tomorrow though!

    If you read the other posts I said "I am not eating moldy food". I'm the only one tasting mold in the food. The rest of the fam thinks it tastes perfectly normal

    Yes  I would say those are more pregnancy symptoms then Ovulation. I would start charting on FF

    That's why I was confused.  How can you taste mold if there isn't any?

    I'm not sure..I'm pretty confused myself! I'm just going to call it phantom I guess.

    Cashis,

    This might sound stupid but do you have a cold or congestion? Maybe your taste buds are just off.

    Other than that, this whole thread is making me lol so thank you. Maybe FF needs to add a tracking symptom for "tastes mold".  Ick!

    Haha! I'm thinking that might be a good thing to add ;)

    I had a cold 2 weeks ago, but that definitely could be it.

    Cashis, I don't know about tastes changing, but I did want to say that from looking at your fertility status, it resembles mine a few months back. I too was inovulatory, tried 50 mg of clomid with no result, but then did begin ovulating on 100 mg of clomid. Good luck and I'll cross my fingers for you.
