Silly question alert!!

[wifey6]

Really daft I am sure...but what does/if at all... Ovulation feel like? I came off the pill to have my DS & can't remember feeling any different when ttc. However...I came of the pill mid-October & have had stomach cramps etc.
My stomach is feeling tender now.
Does anyone have any ideas/advice? Thank u

It can feel a bit periody, or like someone poking you with a finger quite hard. It's worth getting some ovulation tests until you get your eye in, so to speak.

Thank you notnow...my stomach is bloated & I keep feeling very sick/dizzy. GP said its the hormones 'coming out of me'. ??

For me, I feel a sort of ache in my ovary area around the end of my period bleed. Quite slight. Then it stops and comes back stronger around day 12ish of my cycle and stays until about 24 hours after ovulation. The day of ovulation I often feel bloated and my abdomen feels tender. Some people don't feel anything at all. I always have although I wasn't as attuned to what happens on what day before I started ttc. I was just vaguely aware of some midcycle pain and used to make a note in my diary because I could bank on my period turning up a couple of weeks later.

I have never been able to feel if I'm ovulating.

However, I did feel horrendous about 3 weeks after coming off the pill...bloated, crampy, nauseous. It was just my hormones sorting themselves out.

Thank you euro & ifyou....I've found all messages very helpful & reassuring.
