Advice on what may be happening?

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to get some opinions on what I'm feeling at the moment :)

I O’d on CD29 which was 23/11 (I got +ve OPKs on 21/11 and 22/11 with definite O pains on 23/11.

Since 1/12 I’ve felt AF-like cramping. So far I’ve documented that I’ve gotten these pains on 1/12, 2/12, 4/12, 5/12, 6/12 and today. They don’t last very long maybe only for an hour and then they disappear. I haven’t had any spotting yet however I have noticed a small amount of CM on toilet paper when I wipe.

Last night I also experienced some strange sharp pains near my pelvis which lasted around 20 minutes.

I’ve taken 2 HPTs. First was on CD39 (10DPO) and yesterday which was CD42 (13DPO) and both were negative.

My cycles have been irregular but this is the first month during the past 8 months that I know that I have actually O’d.

Just want to know if anyone has had a similar experience and what came of it or do you have any clue as to what may be happening? Could this possibly be a PG and it’s just too early to detect yet? I haven’t had any real PG symptoms.

When do you think I should try taking another HPT?

All advise, opinions and similar experiences would be greatly appreciated :) My main goal right now is trying to decipher what my body might be doing.

Hey starz01,
I've had very similar for the past few months while TTC.
Last month I had exactly the symptoms you described, plus even worse nausea than normal, the pregnancy dreams, really sore back, bad cramps, and hungry as anything a week before my period was due. I was so certain that I might be preggers that I was just about to take a test when I realized it was just AF :( *sadness!* I just so happened to have had a 28 day cycle that month when I'm usually a 32-35. The month before AF was on day 35 so of course with the same symptoms I thought I was as well that month too.

I would relax and wait another week before trying another test. I assume you have the really accurate tests? Maybe pick up one if you don't. You could always go to the GP and get bloodwork done as well.

Good luck!
