Can you feel yourself ovulating?

Maebb · February 2014

Ok, I know people will make fun of me for this question, but I'm used to that by now.

Can you feel when you ovulate? I know it's uncommon, but I could swear I felt it this afternoon. It was kind of funny because DH and I are TTC, and I told him we had to have sex either this afternoon or tonight. He chose tonight, but then we were driving somewhere and I said, "I think you just missed your opportunity." He had been asking if he could change lanes, and he thought I was talking about that, but actually I was talking about getting KU this month.

So to make a story long and boring...

Am I crazy, or has someone else felt this?

Lol, @haygurlhay, yes. Maybe they'll give each other a high five when they meet.

I can feel it. It is very painful which is common with endometriosis. I can't feel the exact moment though more like it hurts that day or two.

LoveActually4 · February 2014

Yes, it hurts.

studyinpink · February 2014

I usually feel a little twinge/cramp.

theseaword · February 2014

Nope! Other than being more horny than usual.

LuckyDad · February 2014

She wants the D a LOT more when she's ovulating. Yet somehow she's unaware that's why.

Nature is a funny thing.

Cervical mucous is a much better indicator. That's how I knew I could probably get pregnant if I had sex, lol.

This. Seeing is believing. And you best believe I stayed far away from the peen this week.

Glad I could satisfy your interest.

Haha meeee too. It would have been better if he just said "yes"

She does smell differently that time of the month. Like, there really is a hormonal "come get some, big boy" at play.

LuckyDad · February 2014

In short, fucking biology wants to trick us into getting her KU before we're ready! Stupid science.

Just kidding. Still love science.

missyishere · February 2014

I'm actually horniest while on my period. Explain that, science.

angelashly · February 2014

I can feel it. I get uncomfortable cramps

nancy30005 · February 2014

Yes, I can.

Very mild.

Also I'm accompanied by an underwear indicator. **schmeg**

ShakeyJakey · February 2014

I've had very painful ovulation since getting my period back after LO. The IUD might be causing some of it but it's miserable. A week of worse than menstrual cramps.

No but I'm stuck on the missed your opportunity comment...

Haha glad I wasn't the only one thinking this.

Maebb · February 2014

@JerseySprouts, @proudworkingmom82, the missed your opportunity comment was because I figured that if I was ovulating at that moment, it would be too late to get KU because we were at the beginning of a 2 hour car trip. DH thought I meant he missed his opportunity to change lanes.

We'll still have sex tonight (hopefully), but we'll have to wait and see if it "works."

I always thought you still had time after ovulation- like at least 12-24 hours. That's why I was like huh? Cause if you had sex tonight and it had only been like 8-10 hours since ovulation you would still have a shot.

Maebb · February 2014

Good, there's still a chance! I'll try really hard to see if I can feel the sperm meet the egg. Jk.

citygirl22 · February 2014

I get painful cramps when ovulating, which I first started noticing about a year after DS was born.

Monkeybabe · February 2014

Right side only. Dislike.

MrsT0514 · February 2014

Yep, I can feel it. Mostly on the right side only. Can be pretty painful.

EMOmamma · February 2014

Yes, it's a zing to me.

If you've done the hibbidy dippity in the last 5 days you're still in the game too. Good luck!

Nita2603 · February 2014

Yep. Hurts.

Maebb · February 2014

@WhoCanItBeNow, some people can't. I mean, physically, you can, but DH will not.

thebanich · February 2014

I guess? I have random cramps around that time but never attributed it to much. I am definitley not in tune with my body. <------ clueless

CurlyQ284 · February 2014

Yes, I have pain in the side thats ovulating. It hurts pretty bad. Sex helps relieve the pain oddly enough. I think my body tries to get me knocked up every month.
