Question

So most of my TTC questions can easily be answers via Google or Glow forums. After days of searching I've come up blank on this one. Firstly I'm supposed to be going into my fertile stage, all my fertility apps say this week sometime but different days. I know they can still be incorrect but I trust them as my body is pretty average in the cycle department. But I've noticed that I don't have any CM in the past few days and I normally can tell when I'm ovulating because I get really wet down there and then I have one day of really bad cramps. But today I've been having these really dull but hell painful aching cramps in one side. Also, OPK's are nearly invisible negatives :/ So I guess what my questions are.. What is this pain I've been getting today? If it's ovulation pain, where's my CM and the positive OPK's? Could it mean I'm gunna ovulate soon? Or is it just unrelated? If anyone can help thanks :)

Answer

Yeah, usually, ovulation pain is on one particular side, and is a dull ache. 
Have you tried temping? You can follow your Glow charts and opks, but temping is the only way to know for sure that you've ovulated. If you aren't having the 'normal' amount of cm, that could be attributed to many things, like being sick, dehydrated, changes in medications, etc. Definitely don't go by just cm alone to predict ovulation. If you had any changes in your last menstrual cycle, that could be pushing your expected O date out a little further than what you were expecting. 
Try buying a basal thermometer. They are at Walmart or Target for maybe $7-8, and check temp each morning before getting out of bed. Log all of the info into Glow so that you can develope a good algorithm. 
Good luck to you!

Answer

Sorry yeah forgot about my temps cause they are so wacky. Still do them everyday when I wake up though. 
One of my apps automatically detected ovulation because of my temps like 3 days ago.

Answer

I hope so! I thought the 2ww was bad enough, but I'm having a hard enough time just waiting to ovulate. 
Just seems different this month cause I just always know when I'm about to ovulate, maybe I'm too aware this month. First month back tracking after 7 months :/

Answer

It sounds like you are getting ready to ovulate to me?
