Was wondering if anyone felt fertilization

Sorry hun, I don't really understand what you are asking...

If you are referring to the actual moment that the egg is fertilised by the sperm, then I think that would be absolutely impossible to feel - it's microscopic!

I can feel when I ovulate. I get cramps for about 30 minutes or so every 20 days after the start of my period. From what I read on the internet 1 out of 3people can feel when they ovulate and that is also something that is microscopic.

Ovulating isnt the same as fertlisation (conception).

When conception happens its just the sperm meeting the egg, which is impossible to feel.

When you feel ovulation, you feel it because its your ovary which is releasing the egg. The name for this is mittelschmerz, there is no definate reason why some women feel it but others not.

I know what fertilization is. I was trying to tell the last person who commented "There is no way to feel fertilization because what is happening is microscopic." That what happens with ovulation is microscopic (the egg) neverless I can still feel it.

No. I dont think you can feel "fertilization". If you could, then we would not need HPTs

I can feel when I ovulate, but although microscopic, it is something that is actually happening BY my body, not just INSIDE my body. Is that clearer?

My mum is adament that she knew exactly when we were all concieved, she says it just felt like something was different. Hormones are released as soon as the sperm reaches the egg so I think it is possible. I was getting pregnancy symptoms within the first week of conception, long before I could take a test, and I know when conception happened because I was keeping track of my cycle.

Like I said in another post, I knew about a week before taking a test that I was pregnant, but I think thats more 'mothers intution', than anything else.
However, again, like I mentioned in another topic I just made- I had a really weird pulling pain in my tummy about 8 days before finding out I was having a baby, and instantly I knew I was pregnant just from that!
Never knew what the pain was tho, it was like a pain pulling downwards, followed by a weird 'pop'
I ALWAYS knew when I was ovulating, I could set my watch by it I forget what its like now though lol, it's been that long.

I don't think we "feel" ovulation...i think we feel symptoms associated with ovulation as opposed to ovulation itself.

Conception is something so minute that i don't think it's possible to feel it occurring, its like blood flowing through our veins, thats on a much grander scale, but we can't feel it, (unless its a pulse point)....

i think what is felt again are either intuition,or symptoms of pregnancy.

just my tuppence anyway
