after 7yrs i got a +opk

i cant believe it

7 yrs of opk testing and never ever once have i got a positive, but on saturday 23rd i got a positive, it was darker then the complete line, so i tested again to make sure it was right and straight away a dark dark line came up. i am sooooooo excited.

i got ewcm on thursday 21st and told dp to come home as i was ovulating, but then i decided to do a ovulation test and got a negitive, but didnt care as i never get positives on them anyway so we dtd. then on saturday there was no ewcm but thought i might aswell use a test and couldnt believe it when i got a positive, kept looking at it thinking the line was going to disappear. so i have been thinking that maybe i havent been ovulating properly for the last few yrs?? dont know but i can honestly say i dont like ovulating if this is really what is like. i was so sore saturday night, just breathing was making my ovaries hurt?? whats the go with that???? and cos i got a +opk we dtd and i was in tears it hurt that much, should ovualtion been like this?? on sunday things were a bit better but for the last 2 days i have had the worst headache and usually when i get these headaches it means af is on her way, but she cant be cos i only just O'ed, plus my nipples are killing me and i feel horrible, if i didnt know any better i would think af was on her way? is it normal to feel like this after O'ing???

ok sorry for the long post, just had to ask

take care

Can't help you on that score M2C, but hopefully some of the ladies will have some ideas.

This does sound a little extreme. I always feel lousy for about a day either side of Oing and it does feel just like I do before AF is going to arrive .

Was it hurting on only one side or just generally. If only on one side it may be that you were releasing more than one eggie but if it was general pain then I would probably get it looked at.

I get bad ovulation pain every month. Does feel like AF is on the way, lasts a day or 2. Good luck, hope you caught that eggie!!!!

thanks so much for your replies

TaffyLou i was really really sore on both sides, it was hurting to breath and tender to touch. i have ohss before and i can honestly say it was along that sort of tenderness and pain, obviously not as bad but to a degress similar. i am not on any drugs or anything so i dont know why it would be so sore or tender? very strange as usually around "O" i get alittle niggle but nothing to this degree? and dtd was absolutely terrible, it felt like i was being stabbed and like he was hitting my ovaries, really really painful???

Everything is back to normal today, i am not sore or anything so thats good but i still have very very tender nipples?? it hurts so much when i am not wearing a bra, just having my nighty on was killing me and having my little girl sitting on my lap brushing up against them was so painful, dont know why there so tender? they usually get like this just before af but not in the middle of my cycle??

dp told me he is going to frame my positive ovualtion test :cryinglaugh: he is so proud of them lol gotta love him

thanks again for your replies, here's hoping i caught that little egg :pray:

I always know when I ovalute - I don't even need to test because I get the side pain.

Some months are definitely worse than others - sometimes I even get sore skin and can't stand being touched but usually Nurofern or something helps alot with that. I don't get headaches but I definitely have had the pain. I can't tell you why some months are worse than others - there doesn't seem to be a rythm to it - it just is.

i have had a horrible night

i went to bed feeling really off and tired and i was woken up at 4.30am this morning with server pain, it felt like my ovaries and baby making stuff were beging twisted and being pulled out of me, it was so painful. i couldnt stand up straight as it felt like i was tearing, it was so horrible it was like gravity was trying to pull my ovaries out. i stayed at home for as long as i could but the pain was to bad so i went to hospital at 6am and they were no help at all, they gave me some pair relief and said that they were not going to call the doc as they had a very busy night and my condition wasnt life threatening so they said go home and try and get in to your gp, so i am hoping that my gp can fit me in at 1pm.

i just dont know what is going on?? the pain has gone but i am still very tender to touch, if anyone has experienced something similar would really love to hear from you?? i am only 5dpo so i dont think it would be implantation and i couldnt imagain implantation being so painful like that?? well i hope its not anyway???

would appreciate any feed back

take care

Do you think there is any chance you could be pregnant?

It might be cysts! I would be speaking to your doctor and getting a scan to see what's going on.

Hey

well i went for a scan yesterday and i have a cyst on my right ovary, he said its a good size ( 11.3) i dont know if thats in cm or not he just said 11.3 everything else he was measuring was in cm so i dont know?? he also said that there is a lot of pcos in my ovaries, well actually left one as he couldnt see the right one cos of the cyst. i have know for yrs that i have pcos and have had hundreds of scans but yesterday was the first time i have seen that many at once in the one ovary.

i go back to doctor wednesday to have a talk.

i am still in a lot of discomfort and i have had the worse leg aches and my lower back is killing me? i was given penedine forte to help with the pain but today with my legs and back it hasnt seemed to help??

i am sick of feeling sore, i havent been feeling right since i ovulated and my nipples just havent let up. my boobs arent sore or anything just my damn nipples ( driving my crazy) the moment i take my bra off it makes me want to cry:(
i dont know why there sore? stupid things

anyway i just thought i would let you all know how things went and just want to say thanks for all your replies

take care

M2C,

The measurement 11.3 would definitely have been centimetres. And that is definitely a fair-sized cyst, your poor love :(

I've had a 7cm cyst before that didn't cause me any pain, but that's much smaller than 11cm! The PCOS that was seen on your scan could also definitely be causing you pain also, and the side effects like v.sore BB and back/leg aches, especially if it's more extensive that previously seen.

I hope your appointment with the doc goes well, hang in there hun :hugs: Try drinking lots of water - it's your body's best natural defense against pain, and anything that helps you with your pain levels at the moment is useful.

Take care, lots of hugs to you

Miss C

thanks for your reply miss c

still feel very much the same as yesterday, my legs and back are still aching and i am feeling very full down there, my ovaries feel heavy and sore and now on top of all of this i have diahrea (sp) everytime i go to the toilet its very painful?? i am totally over it. i am a bit worried as i am due for af in 3 days and its usually painful anyway but i am worried its going to be alot more worse cos of everything else thats going on down there and we are moving house this weekend so its going to be very interesting seeing me help lift our fridge down 14 stairs when it hurts just to walk?

i am seeing the doc on thursday so hopefully he will be able to help sort things out

thanks again for you reply

take care.

I just thought of another thing M2C, since you mentioned diaorrhea also, and the heaviness, and I didn't realise that you've had mild endo (in your signature - don't know how I missed it! :redface:)

Make sure you ask your doc whether your endo could be getting worse - it's not always able to be seen on a ultrasound (actually, not usually) and if it has extended to your ovaries, and even to your bowel it could be what's giving you diaorrhea and the extreme pain in the general area. Especially if your a few days away from AF and your symptoms have happened after O, when your endometrial tissue is at its thickest. It could also explain your other side effects.

Good Luck, hun. Let us know how the doc's appointment goes. Will be thinking of you.

:hugs:
