Feeling 'off' around ovulation time? Unhelpful!

[paintfairy]

Does anyone else get this? I've had my peak OPK this morning. I'm due to ovulate and I've booked DH for DTD tonight. But I feel awful and really not like it at all!

Have mild stomach pains on and off and feel a bit sick. The last thing I feel like doing is any of this. I'll force myself. But how are you meant to enjoy any of this if your body isn't allowing you to be up for it?

@paintfairy i feel you.
Story of my life since we started ttc.
All month outside ovulation i am feeling amazing and excited and always wanting to dtd... then ovulation arrives and peak opk etc...
I then have lower stomach pain🙄 ovary pain when dtd. I feel bloated, moody etc... and just want to be done with it.

It is the weirdest thing....

Got no solutions... just basically putting in the effort for the two days until it’s back to normal :/

Good luck

It's ridiculous though! If we were governed by how we felt, we wouldn't want to even do it around that time. Makes no sense! Yesterday I was well up for it (gave him the day off) but today- its going to hurt!

I'm exactly the same. I feel great in the run up to ovulation, I'm at my peak mood/libido wise and then crash and burn as soon as I actually ovulate. I get quite severe ovary pain, bloating, grumpy etc not my sexiest of moments paradoxically.

@Paintfairy 👋🏻 totally get you! I'm on CD14 and day 3 of flashy smiley faces. DTD last night and couldn't be arsed tonight. Will make sure we do it tomorrow night again as have feeling peak is coming tomorrow (sore twinges on right side and light cramping and of course sore boobs and moody). Ughh! The way it makes you feel, you're like "ah whatever" but you know you'll be filled with regret come the TWW if you don't.

Last month we dtd lots around ovulation time. I had a chest infection and felt like shit and I remember during thinking "is this really how I want to conceive our first baby"! It made me wonder did my body respond to my thoughts and deliver (hello AF 10'days later). Is that crazy?

Add to feeling like shit, day to day life! I don't know about everyone else but by the time we actually get to sit down during weekdays we are exhausted and it's practically bedtime!

I think I maybe ovulated last night. Which means I'm annoyed i didn't DTD the day before. Annoyingly gut feeling told me to as well. But I only got my peak OPK yesterday morning.

I just told him to hurry up last night. 😂 No enjoyment on my side. And I was lying there thinking the same thing ! @MimiArm You want to remember it being pleasurable. Day to day life is certainly a drag too. Yawn.

I have the same @paintfairy everymonth before ovulation I get such bad bloating it's painful, like a constant pressure in my lower stomach, does not make it enjoyable at all, then like today as soon as ovulation is over I feel fine again!! X

Everything is against us. 😂
