Question

So I noticed that yesterday and today,  I am having stomach pains like it felt like my period is coming even though I still have some time for it to come.. I went to the bathroom and when I wiped I noticed I was really wet down there.. I never track my ovulation and I only took an ovulation test once.. But how do I know if I am ovulation or not without a test? On here, it says that I ovulated a couple of days ago and I had sex on that day.. I am TTC.. And I have another app where it tells me I ovulated a different day and I had sex on that day as well.. This was a week ago.. So if I am ovulating right now I am assuming that I am not pregnant since I had sex a week ago twice, becsuse sperm only lives inside you for like 5 days correct? Sorry I am all new to this and need information..  And I won't be able to BM for awhile as he is not in town right now.. He has gone away for a couple of days... Thanks girls!

Answer

Cramping could also be what is called mittelschmerz- ovulation cramping. Like the other poster said, the only definitive way to know whether OV occurred is to track BBT and CF (cervical fluid). It's too soon to be implantation spotting and since the CF was clear and really wet when you wiped, it's more likely that you are ovulating.

Have you been tracking your basal body temperature? If so, that trend might clue you in. Another way to tell is if your cervical mucus is like egg whites. It could also be implantation cramps. Not all women get implantation spotting. Regardless, you won't be able to baby dance since he's out of town so it may be best to not worry about it. I know that's easier said than done, but stress reduces your chances and you've done all you can now. P.S. I really do know how hard that is. I can't even follow my own advice. I've been symptom watching and testing like crazy. Hang in there girly! All this worry will be worth it in the end.
