I'm sure it is but starting to have doubts that something might wrong?

I have had lower stomach and back pain now since Sunday, also experiencing feeling bloated and slightly sore boobs, is it right to be lasting this long? I also had it last month and it lasted 7 days
any one going through the same?

I'm sure it's normal to last that long. When did/will you ovulate?

keepswimming1 · 22/08/2013 22:05

Well I haven't been taking the tests this month so I'm not sure exactly

I was hoping I would be able to go from last month when just to poke my stomach in the right area hurt like hell (which is when I tested positive last month) if so, that was Monday.

I have just ordered a bulk batch for my next month of trying.

I guess I didn't expect to feel this uncomfortable for so long while ovulating thought it would only last a day or 2 :(

I felt crap during ov until yesterday. I'd say about five days in total, sore boobs, light cramps, nausea, wind, headaches and loads of ewcm. Sounds normal to me.

By the way, I'm two or three dpo as well so sounds like we're in the same place :)

Oh yes I'm very windy, I have had a lot of the same as you
whats the EWcm mean? and how can you tell when you are no longer ovulating?
I guess I'm just worrying for nothing. I just so badly wont a baby and I'm just worried I have an underlying problem.
I only get to try once every 3 months as my dh works away :(

thanks for you fast response vjones

I felt awful for nearly a week, bad cramping, sore back, windy and generally crap!!! Im convinced it was ovulation but not too sure as only on cycle one after stopping patch.

I think its normal for ovulation to feel like this for a few days :) it must be hard for you only having short times to dtd with dh :(

Yea it sucks, esp this month as he left 4/5 day before O. I guess that's just some i have to deal with :(

Ewcm is egg white cervical mucus. It's the clear, stretchy cervical fluid you get building up to and during ovulation. Once you ovulate it goes away.

Your cervical position also changes when you ovulate. It becomes higher, softer and more open. After ovulation, it goes down, it goes hard and closes. You could google to find more info on this. I think it's a really helpful sign to know when ov happens.

Thanks blueamber - So I think I must have just ovulated then judging by the cm. As for the positioning I will have to check this for next month
