Stupid "O" Question

Okay, I should know all of this already reading all your wonderful information from all you experts :)

I am confused... Do you cramp before you "O" or during "O"? I have been doing OPK since Saturday and no Blue Line and right now I am getting tiny little cramps

and am at work!! No BDing for another 5 hrs! I just dont want to miss our window of opportunity! We bd on Saturday and Sunday I thought we should give the spermie a

break. They say on the box that you ovulate 24 - 36 hrs. after the "Blue Line" but you have 24 hrs. in between testing! So, you could actually miss it correct?

I am a very regular gal, 28 day cycle and last month the OPK turned blue on day 15 so I am assuming tomorrow morning I will have a "blue line"

Thanks for listening to me vent and my dumb questions. I am just curious on when ovulation cramps come before O or during O? And any other babbeling questions I asked above!

Hey Becky,

I'm no expert by any means but can only tell you what I experience. My "O" pain always corresponds with my "O" date, so I say it occurs during actual "O". Becky, sounds like to me if you BD's Sat. and Sun. , girl you should be covered. I read on here that the "little swimmers" actually need about 12 hours to get to where they need to be. You want the sperm to already be there when you release that eggie. And they can survive 2-3 days in good , fertile cm. Get one more in for good measure if you can and if there's not a sperm count issue, but I think you might have already covered it. GL to you !!! HTH!!!!!
