Cramps vs Ovulation Pains

acchickpea · #1 October 7th, 2011, 06:06 AM

These two things are confusing to me. I've got a discomforting feeling around the left ovaries area but I'm still functioning... Not sure if I should mark this as signs of an ovulation coming or cramps for some other reason... Any thoughts would be great....

I am in the same boat...I have been "crampy" around my uterus area and wondering what this is. My "O" pain before was very obvious, this is not so much. "O" pain isn't necessarily something that will "stop you in your tracks", it could be that you are o'ing...hope this helps a little!

For everyone O pain is different it's hard to say. Are you temping or using OPKs or checking your CM? Usually I try not to go off just my O pain because it's really hard to know if that's why I'm having pain.

That's the funny thing... I have been temping and the opk is negative with barely a line that shows next to the test line and my CM is like a desert... dry.... The cramps would make sense if there was a little CM though....

If there is no CM and the OPK's are negative then I'm going to say it's not ovulation pain. I could be your body gearing up to O or a cyst or just general twinges that you never had before a loss. ((HUGS)) Wish I could give you more information.

I hope that it's gearing up for an "O".... I wish that I had that average cycle that I would "O" on cd14
