Bloating and sharp pain around O time...

Just wondering if anyone else experiences these symptoms around O time...I am on day 14 and have felt really boated and achy the past couple days. I also feel a sharp pain (not excruciating, but noticable) on one side of my pelvis when I take a deep breath or move the wrong way, and sometimes it comes sporadically. I am having EWCM and am really eager to find out whether or not I am O'ing since I just got off the pill. So what do you think? Could these be symptoms of an O or is AF coming really early??

It's quite common to have this kind of pain midcycle. It's called ovulatory or mittelschmerz pain, so yes, it's most likely a sign that you'll be ovulating soon. Good luck!

Thank you for responding...I'd heard about the ovulatory pain before, but what about the bloating and achiness/tenderness? Anyone else experience weird symptoms around O? I was expecting my temp to go up this morning with all the "symptoms" I've been having, but instead, it dropped 2 degrees...maybe tomorrow...

The bloating and the tenderness/achiness can all be a part of your ovulatory pain. I think for me I generally feel like I'm about to get AF for two days - the general crampiness and icky feeling, which later is followed by the sharp pains around one ovary.

Some women get a temp dip on the day of ovulation... maybe that explains today's temp for you? (I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!)

Thank you very much!! That is exactly how I'm feeling- like AF is about to come...I haven't had normal periods for over 2 years because first I was on the pill, then I got pg with dd while I was ON the pill, then I BF for a year, and went back on the pill. So all of these feelings are new to me now! Wish me luck for an increase in temp tomorrow! :)
