Ovulation and other wierd signs

Hi all... I was just wondering if anyone else ever gets nausious around the time they're Oing? I feel like just about every month, when I think maybe I'm feeling nausious and that it could be pg, I realize it's about the time when I'm Oing and then it continues for the next week or so after. Does this ever happen to anyone?

Also, sort of unrelated... I have been noticing that I keep getting this weird taste in my mouth, almost slimey tasting. Would that even be considering a possible sign of pg?

Here's my background: My LMP was 5/31 and I think I might have O'd sometime this week, and my DH and I have BD every night this week. Of course, since we're not really TTC, he's been pulling out, but I know that some has gotten inside me (not to be gross, but well, it drips!!) :) and so, now I know that 1) it's way to early to even think about testing and 2) I would imagine this would be too early to even get any kind of symptoms, right?

I just am assuming that my symptoms, the nausea and the wierd taste in my mouth are just hormonal from maybe Oing? Also I should mention that yesterday when I had my regular coffee, I almost threw it up. I tried 2 more times that day to enjoy a cup of coffee and all of them tasted HORRIBLE! I normally LOVE coffee and drink 1-3 cups a day (not always w/caffeine). So, thoughts? Do you think I'm just overanalyzing?? :)

I like you get very sick to my stomache about a week and a half pefore AF. (So thats @ my O time). I like you also hate it because I always think that I am preg ( we are trying). I will be sick all day long for like a week, it would be okay if I actually was prego becasue I would at least get something out of it ya know. I am not sure about the slime taste you get. a lot of times I get a bitter taste like I put a penny in my mouth. Are you TTC ? I kno this isint much but hope it helps

Yeah, it's so frustrating b/c every month I think that maybe I'm feeling sick to my stomach from being pg. No, we're not trying, yet... but I'd be thrilled if we were to get pg. I just went off bcp in January, and basicaly since then the only birth control we've been using is the pull-out method...and I'm all to aware of how effective that is. So, I'm actually very surprised that here I am 6 months later and still not pg yet :( Ah well, I'm just hoping it's because we're really careful. And that when we do decide to ttc, that it will be easy... of course, I can't help but think that since I have gone 6 months w/out getting pg, that maybe there's something wrong...UGH! Being a woman sometime sucks, doesn't it?? :)
Thanks for your response though, I just wasn't sure if anyone else got that nausious feeling around O time... :) Good luck ttc and lots of baby dust to you!! :)

We also went off BC in January (mainly because after the scares with the BC patch causing blood clots in low-risk women and how badly BC pills made my sex drive non-existent for the years I used it before, I was through with hormones). We did pull out method until this month, when we decided to begin TTC. Actually I've read in a magazine that pull out method is considered up to 80% effective (they may have made that up, though!) which def. surprised me (not something you want kids reading, KWIM??). So, anyway, just wanted to share that weird fact that may or may not be made up. Me and DH just laughed when we saw that in the magazine, though. :-P

Yeah, I hear ya about the non-existant sex drive... wow, did going off bcp REALLY make a difference. Being on them for 13 years, I was beginning to think I'd never want sex again...hahaha! :)
80%, huh? Yeah, I think I read somewhere that it was close to 75% or something...so who knows. I'm sure it all depends on a lot of factors. Well, I'm just waiting for my DH and I to have that talk again about when we'll actually ttc. I'm hoping soon! :) Best of luck to you and your hubby too ttc... keep us posted on how things are going. We're all so nosey here, but that's what the board is all about! ;)
