What are your ovulation symptoms?

[CornishGirl]

If you know them?

I think mine are increased sense of smell, increased sex drive, EWCM (obviously) and possibly a bit bloated from that point in my cycle.

I never had any obvious ovulation symptoms until after my first pregnancy. Now i get cramps, bloating, crazy sex drive, and I get very hungry and since having a c section I feel tender behind the scar at ovulation which hurts more when we DTD... But I just ignore it

I think just at surge I get achy boobs, possibly feel some mild pulsing cramps and sometimes irritable when my progesterone starts rising quickly.
A day before I think im really tired and need a day nap, possibly hungry before too.
I get a really grotty feeling as my hormones change too. Xxx

Interestingly pre-TTC I could feel ovulation pain, I knew exactly which side the egg was coming from. Since TTC though I don't seem to be able to feel it anymore though. No idea what the deal with that is, hopefully my body isn't trying to be mean to me!

That was my only real indication, I don't really notice other symptoms.

I get hungry, irritable /more emotional, bloated- spots break out, sore boobs, ovulation pain and ewcm. I also check cervix and its low soft and open.

Inflated boobs just before, bloated, achy ovaries for a few days before and then sharp twingey pain during, EWCM, increased sex drive. When the estrogen peaks just before, I get ratty, critical and anxious!

It’s really interesting that these symptoms are so similar but pregnancy symptoms vary so much.

If they are opks. (Never seen them ones before) then no your not. The test line needs to be the same colour or darker than the control line. In this case you can clearly tell that the control line is a lot darker. Keep testing.

Looks like you might be close...everyone is different. Good idea to dtd today, and check twice a day if you can. You want to check between 10am and 5pm and try not to drink too much or pee for a few hours beforehand.

Mine was just Increased sex drive. I’d feel amazing for about 4-5 days & want sex all day everyday if I could. Funnily enough even now I am pregnant I still get that surge once a month around the time I’d be ovulating. Nothing else for me, I didn’t even know people got ovulation pains until reading it on here.

Why does it really annoy me when people bump old threads

I feel you. It’s definitely a pet hate of mine

I know...I got really confused and replied to this again and then had to delete it.
