    cramping like af af cramps after ovulation

    hi i had a mc back in march so we are trying again, mc was complete and hcg level under 5, so i started ovulating friday, and yesterday and today i have been getting bad cramps like af is coming but of course nothing, so i wondering why am i cramping after ovulating? i have had two healthy boys and never really cramp with ovulating or after only when af is due. also my cervical mc is abit strange its clear like water and pools of it then their the egg white but thats still normal. i know its TMI but i am trying to get down to the bottom of things i hate the not knowing whats happening to me specially with cramps they are causing me some discomfort. if anyone can shed some light on whats might be happening please let us know.

    I get bad af type cramps around implantation and right up to when af is due. I hope that is what is happening.

    It might jut be that your body is still recovering after the mc. I also had a mc in early march, and I O'd on the normal day (cd16), but had really low temps afterwards that kept on going up and down. Had some stinging on my left side near the ovary on 3dpo, then some central cramping 2 inches directly below my belly button on 9dpo. I'm now 18dpo, haven't done a test with FMU yet, yesterday did 2 tests and the first was BFN, the second had a super faint line that was almost invisible.
    Since approx 10 or 11dpo I've been getting dull and sharp stabbing and stinging pains and aches on my left side, which I've discovered from reading is most likely the corpus luteum (what produces progesterone to support a pregnancy until the placenta takes over progesterone production around 10-12 weeks). So there is a possiblility it might be that.
    It could also be your uterus contracting as the egg is pushed down the tubes, or it could be implantation.
    Unfortuantely for many women mc's cause a lot of changes to the reproductive cycle, and it can feel like things are out of control, but it does get better after time. Just try to keep a record of everything that happens that is different from what it used to be and if you get really concerned ask a doctor you trust and like (I've had bad experiences with doctors not taking me seriously after 4 losses, so a doctor you like and trust is a very important thing).

    Sorry I couldn't be of more help, and that I was possibly a bit confusing with all these posibilities, but I hope that I have helped a little bit.

    thanks so much, my mc was unexpected us and doctor think it might of been ultrasound that did it, i have a tilted uterus and cervix can play up, and when i was pregnant they did internal ultrasound which had sac and completely healthy no blood and after ultrasound i started bleeding and went down hill, we are not charting because i forget alot lol.
    i think it might be ovulation but it mean the mc has changed my ovulation patten again, specially last night when we fooled around i know TMI but yeah something was different. i do have a tendancy to ovulate twice, dh was making a joke saying ill end up having a litter lol.
    dh also got me to do a hpt just for his peace of mind that nothing the mc will show and it doesnt, very very faint line which i take as neg cause i have had a false positive once, not unless its a clear line which is very visible doesnt have to be dark but more than a shodow looking, but only a week and a bit until i know if af comes or not .
    i dont want ttc to take over but i so want to hold the last baby i get to have and that baby smell, and all things when we first meet our little bundles of joy, you cant help but want it so badly! and i was hoping to have this one in 2010 but chances are slim, my 2 boys were born in 2008 and 2009 and was hoping for the patten to continue lol
