Hiya

I get quite bad ovulation pains too - it even has a name apparently - Mittelschmerz, which means 'middle pain'. I got it when I came off the pill (obviously because my body was ovulating again, lol), and became paranoid that it was something to worry about.

From the research I've done, it's actually quite common, and can be seen as an advantage because you physically know when you're ovulating.

However, I agree with the above posts - if you're having really bad pains from it, it might be worth mentioning it to your GP.

Here's hoping for a BFP soon for you!!

I think any pain that becomes severe should be seen by a GP - It's not uncommon to get some discomfort/pain during ovulation - in fact thats how a lot of women detect their O.

Best of luck!!!

Here's wishing you good luck and to make you feel better, I'm 45 and trying for my 1st. I've always been a late starter. This is only my first official month ttc.

By the way, in relation to the abbreviations, there is a link on the opening page of the website that is headed abbreviations and you will find a list of them all in there. I've had to look at it a few times.

Best of luck and lots of

to you.

i understand how you feel, i came off bcp in sept 2007 and my cycles were 45 days and then 56!! i am now waiting for my next one or not hopefully! but if i do i hope it goes back to the usual 28 days.

fingers crossed!!

Thanks Tishi and Hayley

I've felt fine today - no pain or tenderness at all (CD19)

I've attempted to check my cervical position after searching old posts and finding a great link courtesy of 'Mommyandbaby' in a thread called 'Your TTC Methods' (I think!) - I would have included the link but I can as a newbie.
It was very useful - much better than anything else I've found on the web. That said I couldnt tell you what I observed! I think I'll wait until after I've tested in 9 days and if I dont get good news, I'll start examining in my next cycle.

You're a smashing bunch girls

Mervs MUm- we will be testing on the same day if my cycles same as last one

i found that as soon as we stopped trying, we became pregnant, just relax and dont worrying, it took my 3 months to get my cycle back to normal after i came off the pill x x x x x

YLeeLou - Thanks for the reply - I'm pretty relaxed at the moment...just impatient like most women....

Loopy - Do you think you will be able to wait ??? My sister has already been trying to encourage me to test early....
