Hi Stephanie

Well I can't really tell by your chart, but it looks like you haven't O'd yet...you might be experiencing mittleschmirtz, otherwise known as O pain. It was pretty intense for me coming off BCP. For me it usually happened on my right side around where your ovaries would be. It wasn't really low in what I would considere the 'pelvic' area...I guess it depends on where these pains really are. I do know that I had lots of weird things happen when I went off BCP!!! Anywho...my O pain lasts longer than some peoples'...it sort of builds up and there's one big finale when I O...LOL!!! This last time it felt like someone was stabbing me in my side...must have been cause those little spermies were all fighting over the egg...one of 'em caught it :)

Anyway, I went through the same worries as you seem to be going through and it really reassured me and made me feel better to go to my doctor. I wanted to make sure something wasn't wrong...just the opposite was true...everything was working just right! So, I bet this is the case with you, but I would strongly encourage you to give your doc a call just to be sure. It can never hurt to check :) Good luck to you!

Cheers!

p.s. If you don't have them already, you might want to consider using OPKs...they helped me tremendously :)
