hi, hope you ladies can help me, not actually trying to get pregnant but am having ovulation pain and have a few stupid questions and thought you would have the best knowledge.
I thought that ovulation swapped ovary each month but I am always getting the pain on the right side is it possible to ovulate from just one side or to ovulate from one side for a while before it swaps? (have only had the pain for 4 cycles and never had any pain before having Spencer). The first 3 times I had the pain it was smack bang in the middle of my cycle which seems to be running at 27-28 days but this time it has happen only 9 days after AF is it possible to ovulate at different times each month? (might explain why it took so long to get pregnant with Spencer). Is there anything else that I could check that would indicate that I am actually ovulating? I'm just wondering if this pain isn't related to ovulating in which case I should probably mention it to the gp but if it is related to ovulation should I let him know that i'm ovulating at random times or is that quite normal? Sorry I'm such an idiot when it comes to all this stuff -------------

It's possible to ovulate at random times or twice in a month - obviously not the norm though, could be a hormonal thing. Are you up to day 9 now? It will be interesting to see if you have the pains all the way up to about day 15, as that's what I've been having. First 5 days of it, then 7, then 12...  One thing I did to monitor my ovulation was to starting charting my temps for a while.-------------  |

| check your mucus and cervix for other signs if your ov of not. If your really keen you can always chart. |

I don't think i'm ovulating twice but is it normal to ovulate at different times each month? The last 3 times it was day 14 this time the pain has started at day 9 -------------

Important Facts to Know About Ovulation:
* An egg (ovum) lives 12-24 hours after leaving the ovary * Normally only one egg is released each time of ovulation * Ovulation can be affected by stress, illness or disruption of normal routines * Some women may experience some light blood spotting during ovulation * Implantation of a fertilized egg normally takes place 6-12 days after ovulation * Each women is born with millions of immature eggs that are awaiting ovulation to begin * A menstrual period can occur even if ovulation has not occurred * Ovulation can occur even if a menstrual period has not occurred * Some women can feel a bit of pain or aching, near the ovaries during ovulation . This is called “mittleschmerz” * If an egg is not fertilized, it disintegrates and is absorbed into the uterine lining * Sperm can live in a woman’s body up to 5 days after intercourse, though more often 2 days. * Pregnancy is most likely if intercourse occurs anywhere from 3 days before ovulation until 2-3 days after ovulation. most of the research i found says yes..ovulation can occur at different times of the month due to stress etc.. but generally is around the same time.. i know after my miscarriage my ovulation etc was different from normal and different each month .. ------------- Mum to two amazing boys! |
