Ovulation Pain? could it be?

[Shanti]

Hi,

I'm halfway through my cycle now and looking at my diary, i am 14CD therefore if I am on a 28 day cycle this time (hoping so! after coming off BCP's early March!) that would mean that I am now ovulating. (hope so anyway) I have had pain in my ovaries mainly my left side like twinges and i've had a little bit of nausea too. (i'm not preg as i've tested).

I think what I am experiencing is ovulation pain/signs!! Could this be correct?? I have heard about it before and heard that some women know etc and other women don't get pains when they ovulate at all. I have been on the pill 9 years and the last 2mths i've been off it so i'm getting used to learning my body signals again.

Do you think it could be ovulation signals? I mean, it is possible for me to be ovulating by now right?
I feel awful... really bloated and heavy feeling in my abdomen

HI,
This could very well be ovulation pain, i get this around mid cycle aswell although i noticed it more when i was on the clomid (fertility treatment).
I think your best bet is to corelate it with other body signs such as your murvical mucus changes, cervix position body temperature. You could also buy some ovulation predictor kits. you can buy these online i used ebay personally for things like that. They are just like pregnancy tests but they indicate ovulation instead of pregnancy.
Also if you have not yet joined fertilityfriend.com i would suggest you do that too, most the girls on hear are members, it signs you up to a free fertility course so you can learn to read your own body signals.
Hope this helps some

Thanks Georgette - I have signed up for FF but not actually used it just yet! To be honest, it's a bit confusing at first!! I'll get there...

I am interested in buying an OPK though so might get one today and test. I did notice my CM has been different also so that's also why i thought it must be ovulation! I'm excited about it as i've been on the pill for so long so it's good to know my body is getting back to normal slowly....and naturally!

Thank you
