I'm gonna start this question from what I figure can only be the beginning, but who knows. :) My lmp was 9/20. My bf and I bd'd on 9/18 and then again on 9/25. 9/25 is also the day my mp ended. Early in the day. Late on 9/27, I had some spotting. All the time in between I had discharge like crazy.. so I have to believe that my mp was truly over on 9/25. I have a 30-32 day cycle, usually 32. (we also bd'd on 10/1)

The past few days, I've been sleeping 12+ hours a night and still tired when I get up. I'm dizzy, my nipple areas hurt most of the time and my breasts hurt when I take off my bra. I was nauseous last night, but I was also upset. I've been upset, crying at the drop of a hat for days now - totally unlike me. I don't even do that when I'm pms-ing.

*shrug* I'm wondering if ovulation could be the cause of that. I'm chalking the spotting up to a fluke thing, because it was sooooo close to my period. Its not possible to implant that soon after a mp, is it? So can ovulation create such strong symptoms? I'd think I was catching a cold if not for the sore breasts. :)

I don't chart or anything... My bf and I figure if it happens, then it happens. So I don't know when I typically ovulate. I know that normally I have some dry days post mp, and this time I haven't been even close to dry at all. But that's all I know. Mostly I just wanna know what I can blame this on. :) Can I blame it on ovulation, do you think?

Sometimes ovulation can make you have pregnancy-like symptoms. I ALWAYS get moody, sore boobs, and increased sense of smell when I ovulate. Since you usually have a long cycle, you're probably ovulating now. If by chance you ovulated early this month, the sex on 10-1 could have potentially made you pregnant, and those symptoms are just like pregnancy symptoms. If you continue to feel like that for the next week or so, I'd go to the doctors or do a pregnancy test just to be careful...but I wouldn't be too nervous unless you miss you period.

Here's some chart wisdom that may help ya out ;)

You ovulate between 10 and 16 days before the start of your period. (unless you have a defect in your cycle...but then it's usually a short one like under 26 days) The average is about 13-14 days. So on your cycle about day 16 counting from the first red-blood day of your period would most likely be your ovulation day with your peak fertile time being the 2 days before ovulation and the day of.

I hope this helps :)
