Am I ovulating??

I had my period about two weeks ago.  All of this week I have experianced some vaginal itching (which isn't out of the ordinary for me).  But on Tuesday, I noticed a real slimy white discharge (sorry if that is TMI).  Then off and on for the rest of the week, I have a slight pinching feeling on the left side of my lower back.  Today I am spotting!  I have experianced the discharge before, but I normally don't spot in between periods.  I do know cycles can change sometimes, but I still get concerned.  


Its Saturday and my GYN. doesn't have weekend hours, but one of her associates was on call and he was very rude to me on the phone.  I thought maybe I had a UTI and he was very short with me and said itching isn't a UTI. I gave him the other symptoms and asked if it sounds like I'm ovulating, he said I don't know, call your DR. on Monday.  Gee, thanks!  You are her associate and she is never on call!

I remember 10-15 years ago, my sister would always complain that she was ovulating. She claimed to have cramps, discharge, bloating, etc. I would just look at her and say "what the hell are you talking about...you can't feel ovulating". Well about 5 years ago (Im 37) I started to get those same symptoms and my GYN told me I was just ovulating.

The older you get, the more your body turns on you, and starts to pay you back for all of those trips to Taco Bell and skipped work-outs.
\Call you Doc on Monday...but, if its been 2 weeks since your period...you are more than likely just ovulating. If you are extremely concerned check out WebMd or call you Health Insurance Nurseline if you have one.

Thanks for your reply! I was laughing about the trips to taco bell and skipped workouts. That is so true!! I never think my cycle is going to change and when something happens, I think the worst.

Hi nchristinzio and welcome to the board.


From what you described here, I would have to say you are ovulating.
