Signs of O? pls help...

HI!

I have been off my BCPs since August 21, and my last pill period was 8/24. Then, I had a 33 day cycle, fairly normal, starting my c2 on 9/27. Today is cd10. My question has to do with the signs of ovulation. What are they? I know that 0 generally occurs 13-15 days prior to AF. Today, I am feeling these small isolated pains slightly to the right of my very low abdomen. It's not as over-reaching as menstrual cramps, but it feels like a pinky-finger poking me just for a second. I feel like it's too early for O, but just being off BCP for a month and a half...maybe I'm a little skewed?

any help much appreciated!

Have you noticed a change in CM? You dont have to check manually - you can usually tell by checking your TP if there is alot of EWCM, (fertile kind which comes just before O)

Hope I could help a little.

I have been checking CM a couple times a day. It hasn't been super-fertile with the stretchiness, but it was wet, and a little creamy-white (how lovely, right?) yesterday. DH and I BD'd Sunday AM and late last night, so it was hard to really tell...I checked last month, too - but never did notice any recognizable EWCM, but it was wetter toward the middle of the cycle.

Thanks in advance!

I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas or could share their "symptoms" of ovulation, since I haven't ovulated in about 6 years due to Birth Control Pills????

Anyone out there?

I notice that my CM is really watery and whitish.

Hi! I think increased volume of clear stretchy slippery mucus is suggestive of the period right before ovulation. You can monitor your temperature but it (the rise) may come a little late for you to be able to time the intercourse appropriately.

In addition to the EWCM and sharp pain in the ovary area, some women (myself included) BBs get sore and some feel nausated. I went off BCPs in the beginning of June and for two cycles (mine are long, around 38 days) I thought I was experiencing early PG symptoms which were really associated with ovulation. Being on BCPs for so long, it's hard to remember what it was like not being on them.

Good luck.
