Lower abdomen cramps

What's the difference between ovulation cramps and pregnancy cramps?

babymaybe · Nov 27th, 2009, 13:28 PM

Hiya

I'm afraid I can't comment on the difference as I've never been pregnant. But I do get quite strong ovulation cramps and they definitely feel like they're coming from around my ovaries rather than AF cramps which are much more central and lower down.

Not sure if that helps!?

Sorry to be blunt but I don't think you would really notice a difference, cramping is cramping though I would say with ov pain I feel it slightly higher up and tends to be continuous ache rather than spasmy cramping

How high up are ovulation cramps?

I've been experiencing sharp, stabbing pains right side around the pubic bone area.
Don't know what it is.

I find Ovulation pains to be more of a dull ache very low down, but all women experience these differently, due to each situation eg if you have endo/PCOS the pains will be more severe.

How are you getting on with 100mg of CLOMID, my doctor started me on 100mg straight away, The witch is due the 11th december for me and i am praying she doesn't show up this month, i really want my BFP before christmas.

Gud luck and lots of babydust to you! xxxxx

Since I started the 100mg clomid, been getting ovary pains, tender boob. Must be working.
I'm CD 22 today and got my progesterone blood test Monday.
I hope i have ovulated, if not the Doctor wants me on 150mg clomid

I really want my

before Christmas.

Good luck to you too and lots of

Yes its the same story with me, I have got to go for my cd21 bloods next friday, and if the CLOMID hasn't worked then they will be increasing my dose to 150mg. However i have been discharged from the FS now as there is no reason why i can't get pregnant. I have been given 6 months worth of CLOMID so i am praying that it will happen for us soon!

praying for my

to you all
