If you experience ovulation cramps, when do you usually get your peak afterwards?

Question

I’m on CD 19, still no positive OPK’s but today I’m having some achy cramps just on my left side. Wondering if this could finally mean I’ll ovulate soon.

Answer

I usually start getting an uncomfortable heavy, full feeling in my ovaries about 3 days before ovulation. It gets worse the closer I get to ovulation. Typically I get a positive (T=C) the day before I ovulate and then a peak (T>C) the day of O. The day of O I'm crampy, my ovaries feel like they might literally explode, I'm bloated, my cervix is tender and I'm miserable. The day after O I sometimes have a slight lingering soreness in my ovaries but I feel 90% better.

Answer

If you wanna know when you ovulated you need to be temping to confirm ovulation
