Another ? for those with "O" Pain...
| Wed, 08-13-2003 - 7:58pm |
Hi,
I didn't want to post my long "personal" question onto the other "O" poll, so I posted it seperately.
For those that also feel "O" pain....what do you think the pain is exactly? The egg making its way down the fallopian tube, popping out of the tube, etc.
After the pain is gone, do you think there is still a chance to conceive? I got a peak on my monitor yesterday and I had cramps all day yesterday and until around 1:00EST today. DH & I tried bd this morning, but he couldn't perform "on command" (I am getting very frustrated about that and I am trying to be understanding), so I was wondering if I should BD tonight for the heck of it or forget about it. The last time we BD was just before midnight Monday night.
TIA!!

Ovulation pain occurs as the ovary is being changed in anticipation of egg release.
The formation of the corpus luteum can be associated with some discomfort, especially it is forms as a cyst. Follicles that do not release can be a source of discomfort.
Pelvic sensations can also arise from the bowel, the bladder, the muscles supporting the pelvis, and less often, be referred from distant locations such as the back.
Transient sensations that do no interfere with lifestyle, do not require any therapy (local heat, analgesic, ceasing activity), last for a few minutes, change location, character, intensity are rarely an indication of problems.
And yes, I have decided DH & I will bd tonight just in case....

Thanks for the info! It was very interesting. While I don't know much about monitors, I think it's a good plan to BD tonight. It can't hurt!
Sorry about your frustration with DH. I am kind of in the same boat. Although he really wants me to get pg, he was upset once when I said that we should BD that night b/c I thought I was very fertile instead of me being in the mood. As if it wasn't fun!
Anyways, good luck to you!!! Positive vibes your way!!!

I also know what you mean about DH. I feel like I almost have to MAKE him BD even though he says he really wants us to be PG. It must be one of those guy things. If you don't mind me asking - can I ask ages? I am only 25 and DH is only 26, so I find it kind of odd that he is acting like this. It isn't like we BD a lot before we started ttc, but I feel like it has become a pain for him even though this is only C3. We already have a DD going into 2nd grade, but that wasn't a planned PG, so there really is nothing to compare to. Anyway, Good Luck!

Thanks for answering your own question - and I am sure so many of ours! I know I was just wondering about this over the past week. I usually have noticeable pains on the left or the right side, but this month I have just had dull aches and pains switching sides. It has been happening for almost a week now! I don't know what that is, but I was glad to see your repsonse. Happy BDing!
Best wishes to all....

We are both 27, so very similar to you and your DH. He used to complain that sex was not frequent enough, now it doesn't seem as important. But he always talks about getting me pregnant. I guess he doesn't really appreciate the timing of this whole process. I think if I explain it to him, he will feel more pressure. I guess I'll just have to do all of the BD initiating!
Good luck to you!!!

Thanks for the info. I've actually been getting concerned, because this month I've had a bit of crampiness and back pain for the past 3 days and I am only on CD11. I won't O porbably until CD15-17. So maybe I am just feeling the ovary doing it's thing.
Our bodies are so hard to understand sometimes! No matter how carefully we pay attention, their ins and outs can elude us.

Sorry I wasn't able to reply all day. I was out doing Mommy & me things with DD and then when I put her down for a nap and got on the computer, we had the BIG Northeast Blackout and lost power for 5 hours. Just got it back one hour ago.
I am glad I was able to help some of you with the info I posted. I always feel so good when I am able to post something meaningful that helps people on these boards.
Becky & Heather,
I don't think your DH has any bd'ing issues being so young. I think Dh's just feel pressur from us sometimes. My DH is 36 (I am 34, boy you two make me feel old..LOL)) and although he "conked out" before I needed him to this month, he just told me tonight that BD at night is much better for him. In the morning he is starting to focus on work and not bd'ing.
We did not BD last night either. I was afraid I would "bother" him and he would be like "AGAIN???". Then he told me this tonight, I should have woke him.
I also do understand that it is not so "romantic" after bd'ing 3 days in a row. It is easier for us, being female, since we don't have to necessarily have to have an orgasm, where they do!! It does put more pressure on them.
So, if we didn't hit it this month, we will bd'ing at night next month...no excuses.
What an agonizing two week wait I will have too. We are going on vacation the end of next week for 7 days and my whole family will be down. I don't want to test with everyone there, so I will either sneak it or wait until I get home on the 27th, which at that point, AF would be due and hopefully will not show her ugly face.
Good Luck to all of you and let's get some positives going!!
