O pains

[maybebabiesrus]

Do O pains typically come before, during or after O? I don't usually ovulate, but I'm on clomid and have some lower abdomen pain. Opk is negative. Just trying to determine cause of pain.

It is different for each person for each cycle. I typically have experienced them the day that I ovulate, but I have also had it where I have them on and off for 2 days.

Have you ever had this kind of pain before? I think I've had ovulation pain before ovulation, but with the clomid, I'd wonder if you have a cyst, if you don't normally have those kinds of pain. I'm sorry to be Debbie downer!

I sometimes have them in O day, just like slightly less painful menstrual cramps.

Uh.....actually, abdominals twinges/"pains" are a totally common side effect of Clomid and does not automatically mean cysts , FFS

I absolutely fear the worst, and I know cysts are possible, but I wasn't jumping straight to that conclusion. It's good to know that clomid is notorious for these twinges, and it's totally correct to put "pain" in quotes because it's not painful, just unfamiliar. Like pressure, bloating, fullness, but not really "pain."

Do you know when those are typical? I'm on cd13.

I'm very sorry if I offended, as that wasn't at all my intention. I was asking if she'd experienced them normally, or if they were new this cycle.

I'm glad to hear that it's a common side effect and not necessarily indicative of cysts. I don't have personal experience with it, and should have added that.

[maybebabiesrus]

I'm not offended, but since I don't usually ovulate, I don't know if they're normal for me nor if they can be attributed to O or clomid or something else.

I've never taken clomid but I've been told that everything is worse on clomid.

Cramps- more intense
Emotions- crazier then normal
Period- heavier after a clomid cycle.

My guess is its O pain.

Thanks, autumn rose. I need to chill out; I appreciate your even keeled approach and advice. What's your story? You obviously and unfortunately have some clomid experience.

I've noticed on Clomid that my ovaries feel very "busy". Lots of sharp twinges. I do sometimes get O pain but not to this degree. To me it felt more like follicles growing because it was leading up to O time rather than during.

[krystee]

I have ovary twinges/discomfort almost all month while on Clomid. I think it's pretty normal. Hope it does the trick for you!

[maybebabiesrus]

This is very reassuring. I opted for one unmonitored cycle, after confirming no cysts and doing HSC in April, but since it's also my first cycle, I've been very alert about everything. And since I'm out if state on vacation, I can't go to my normal doctor and feel even more pressure not to freak out because it would result in a trip to the emergency room, if I decided I had to go in.

I have not been on Clomid, but I get crampy and twinges on the day that I ovulate.
