Pain in my ass (literally)

[ErinExpat]

So I'm back again after the unsuccessful Holiday Baby attempt.

Today I was having shooting pains in my butt and upper leg. Should I take this as a signal of ovulation?

DH and I have been pretty diligent this month, so the timing seems good.

The only issue is that I'm angry at DH so I will have to grit my teeth and get busy against my better judgement. JK!

Has anyone experienced something similar? Was it ovulation?

never happened for me, but i always get ewcm the day of O or the day before....that might be a better sign you are gearing up to O. It should dry up right after it happens too. GL!

Never had that. I do get it when my pants are too tight though. Do you temp or use OPK's?

I think it's been on my mind recently because there was a post on ML about women experiencing this during their periods, so I thought there might be a connection. A quick Google shows that it's possible, so I just wanted to ask you ladies.

I've never had pains like this related to O, but as a pp said if I wear pants that don't fit properly (or anymore because of weight gain) I get similar pains.

It could be ovulation cramping or a cyst. I had this type of pain a few weeks ago and it was..nothing..lol

No tight pants over here! Thanks for the input, ladies!
