Ovulation and CM Question
2
Fri, 01-23-2009 - 4:48am

I am wondering if anyone else has felt their ovary doing something before ovulation and how long from that time until they ovulated. Last night I swear I could feel twinges in my left side right where I think one of my ovaries would be. However, the FM says I am low fertility and not expected to O for about 2 weeks?

My other question regarding CM is how can you know that it is CM or if it is not some residuals from BD the night before?

Thanks for the advice, I hope the feeling in my ovary is a good sign I will O soon, I just don't want to miss it and am wondering if anyone else has experienced this.
Thanks, Sally

Sometimes some women can feel ovulating coming on but I would look for other signs as well to confirm ovulation 1) CM, 2) Positive OPK, etc.


As far as telling the difference, EWCM seems to be more clear than residuals that tend to be more whiteish.

I usually have O pain 2-3 days prior to. I started getting pain on CD 14-16 and got a +opk on CD 15 & 16 and O on CD 17. My doctor did tell me that just because you have the pain doesn't mean you're actually o'ing. I get the pain monthly and don't o each month. I do use the first sight of twinges as an indicaion to start testing w/ opk's though. Hope this helps.
