I am trying so hard to tell if i am ovulating or not..I have no way of telling with my CM. It is no help..So i am just going by my LMP..I am getting so discouraged..OK so this is only the first month i'm actually trying..Last month was an oops month, but i just have this sinking feeling that it wont happen. How else can i tell if i'm ovulating? Ive been having cramps,some slight bb tenderness...The chart said i should stop on the 18th..So a few more days of trying..Best of luck to me..

Your signs could be due to ovulation, but it's hard to tell. So, are you charting? If so, it should give you a coverline showing when you ovulated (it usually waits until 3 days post-ovulation to give a coverline so it has a chance to confirm it). Your temps should spike after you ovulate. Here's my chart, if it helps.

If you aren't charting...it really helps. I went for a whole year after the pill before I O'd. Charting really helps pinpoint the problem and show what your body is doing. Hope that helps! Good luck to you! Aubrey;)
