Hey.
So I ovulated on Tuesday (had 24 hrs of ewcm, headache, cramping and the darkest opk since I started doing them) next day, no ewcm and blank opk.
We have BD every day since Saturday until Thursday.
I do usually get ovulation pain but not for this long. It's been really quite strong, especially in my lower back. Does anyone else experience this?

Yes, still cramping.
Don't worry, unless we are doubled over in agony and bleeding there is no need to worry. I'm taking these cramps as a positive sign xx

@Sparkle2020 I had it removed on 16th Dec, started bleeding on 18th Dec and bled until January 10th! It was awful. Doctor said when I stopped bleeding that my cycle should be normal from now on. I know I ovulated so hoping my LP will be normal x

@sparkle2020 I had my coil remover in August last year a early MC In November and nothing since! I did get a really positive opk on Sunday/Monday! Most postive I've ever had so praying that was it for me xx

@hoping4no4 on cycle 16 atm. Did they tell you when you’re supposed to go back on a normal cycle after coil removal? I still have the cramps too. Fingers crossed it’s a good sign for us xx

@Sparkle2020 it's so difficult not to think it could be a sign isn't it! I really hope it is 🤞 How long have you been trying? This is our first cycle since having my mirena coil removed, hoping it's not my hormones playing tricks on me.
Really hoping we get our bfp. Sending lots of positive thoughts your way.
Today my cramps are still there, seem to be right sided, same side I ovulated. Also, very odd...my skin seems very soft today lol I think I'm going crazy 🙈🤣 how are you feeling today?
@wavecatcher really hope you're right! I've had cramping in early pregnancy before, can't remember if it was this early though xx

@wavecatcher do you remember how many dpo you would start getting the cramps?

wavecatcher · 19/01/2020 03:48

These early cramps have always been a sign I'm pregnant. Have tested on 10 dpo and always had a positive test by then. Good luck!

Omg me! Had my first positive OPK on cd11 and then cd12 so assuming ovulation on 12/13? Now cd19 so 6/7dpo and past few days I’ve had horrible horrible af type cramp and back pain
