Can anyone explain to me why your boobs hurt after O'ing? I am not sure if I am 4 DPO or what. FF game me a date but I am not so sure that it is right. I am really curious though to find out the changes your body goes through after O'ing and why! Any info is greatly appreciated!

Hi Jackie! Welcome!!!!! My understanding is that immediately after o your hormones kick on the progesterone and that's what causes your bb's to hurt.

Different women have different symptoms after ovulation, but they are a result of the levels of hormones in our bodies after ovulation. Not everyone gets the same symptoms though, like by bb's don't hurt but boy do my nipples sure do! (Sorry if TMI!)

Hope this helps!

I just wish I was a little bit more in tune with my body I guess. Can anyone tell me too if FF tends to get the O date correct a lot of the time? Geez, this is going to be the longest week of my life.... again! LOL Dont forget to vote on when you think I O'd. I guess the votes for an annovulatory cycle are freaking me out a bit!

Jackie~

FF is usually fairly accurate..but not 100% of course. I've been using it for a couple months now and it has worked for me.

I would say you ovulated, have you had any changes in CM?? or CP??

Gosh Jackie your chart looks JUST like mine! If you Oed on cd 17, we Oed on the same day then!!! I was wondering the exact same thing, I also have sore nipp's since O day, I am like you 3dpo and I have had sore nipp's, heartburn for two days, some creamy cm (a little in panties, some when I check cp manually) 2nd day after O waking up with a headaches. I just finished my 1st cycle of clomid 100mg cd 4-8 too and I thought maybe that is why I'm still having some soreness but I see you do not take clomid and you're having sore bb's too! Hmmmm, I wonder then. Well it's early for us but I sure hope we both get our BFP's this month. GL.

Well, to answer the last two posts, I am not on Clomid and I do have some sore bb's. I have had this for the last couple of cycles though. As far as CM goes, I might being going out onto the TMI limb, but let me tell you about the paste problem I have encountered!!!LOL.. I thought CM was supposed to dry up rapidly after O'ing.... As for my cervix, it is still high. Last cycle, it didnt become low until AF so I dont feel like I can count on that as being a good sign. I just wish I could figure out what day I O'd on. I keep on looking at that darn chart just in case something rings a bell (not like it would since I dont know much about charting... he he he)

Julie, when do you plan on testing?

Jackie,

I don't think I will test until I miss af next week (end of next, but only if I have "real pg symptoms" no IPS.) I am going in to the doc's this Friday for a 7dpo proge. blood test to see what my levels are this cycle on clomid. I think a lot of what I'm feeling is related to the clomid and it would be a miracle if I got pg 1st cycle on it, so I am not counting on it all!

All I can say is thank God I have to work the next several nights because I would be going insane with the wait. I cant tell if I am 5 dpo or 9.... either way though, I am going to test on Sat. morning. A very close friend of mine just found out she is expecting #2 with a EDD of June 17th.... so now she is calling me everyday to find out if I know yet.... UHGGG! Hope you all get your BFP soon!!

Jackie,

I wanted to ask you, by looking at your chart are you sure FF didn't get your O date wrong? The reason I ask is that you had no w cm or high cp on that day, it looks like you could have Oed on either cd 14, 15 or 16 due to your cp and cm, it's just strange to me. Also, it does look like you bd at the right times unless they are not recorded....? Your chart looks like mine, take a look. The coverline is also drawn through my O date with only a .1 temp hike to confirm O, I know O happended, I am on clomid too (a good dose of 100mg) and I had O pains for days up to the actual day. FF confuses me a bit as I had to post a question to them the other day why I was not getting a cover line when I had 3 days of higher temps than O day and they used the "research" setting to fix it. I don't get it I guess. My cover line seems so high to me, I think the O date is right but not the cover line. What do you think? Your temps seems to be rising steadily like mine too, I think I had a slow rise temp this cycle. Let me know what you think.
