Ovidrel- Immediate Cramps?

in Trouble TTC
Hi guys, I don't know anyone else in my position personally, so am turning to my 3T peers. I had 1 follicle big enough this morning, so I got the Ovidrel shot. Within the hour I started having cramps, and I'm still cramping. Does this sound familiar? Doctor said try tonight and tomorrow, and my husband is currently at work. Could I be ovulating already?

Me (28)- PCOS, no natural cycle since stopping BC pills in 2013
DH (29)- SA= all good
Married since March 2013 (together since 2004) + TTC since April 2013

Provera 12/13, 6/14, 8/14, 10/ 14, 12/14

Clomid 50 mg 12/14- no follicles big enough, stair stepped with Clomid 100 mg (1 follicle 22/25 mm) + Ovidrel trigger shot 1/15- BFN

Clomid 150 mg 1/15- no follicles responding- repeated 150 mg + Ovidrel trigger shot + IUI- BFP

    Ovulation tends to occur 24 to 36 hours after trigger. I always felt all kinds of cramping and twinges on medicated cycles. It's hard to tell what's going on

    4 Losses (2003, 2008, Apr 2012, & Oct 2012)
    All RPL and IF testing with multiple REs = normal

    5 IUIs = BFN

    Ovulation typically occurs 24-36 hours after an hcg trigger, such as Ovidrel. I suppose it may be possible that your body decided to ovulate naturally before the trigger kicked in. I felt some twinges starting about 24 hours after I triggered.
    Me & DH: Both 30 / Married 3 years / TTC since 10/2013
    Dx: Annovulatory
    8/2014: Clomid (50 & 100) + TI = BFN
    10/2014: Clomid (100 & 150) + TI = BFN
    12/2014: Follistim/Ovidrel/Endometrin + TI = BFN
    1/2015: Follistim/Ovidrel/Endometrin + IUI

    I get cramping around my ovaries starting a few hours after the ovidrel shot, and I have them the entire next day and most of the day after that. From ultrasounds at my IUI appointments, I know that I don't ovulate until at least 36 hours after trigger... So the cramping doesn't necessarily indicate ovulation (for me at least), but is just a side effect of the follicles swelling and beginning to rupture. If you are concerned you can try temping to confirm O, or ask for a monitoring ultrasound 36 hrs after trigger to see where you're at.

    Me: 27 DH: 35
