So my cycle was 2 days long, as usual, and ended on the 3rd. On Monday, the 11th, my husband and I had a birth control malfunction, to say the least. On Wednesday, the 13th, just as Glow predicted, I started getting the usual ovarian pain that kicks in during the first few days of ovulation.

I've had mild, highly annoying, pretty much constant cramps in my lower back and abdomen for the last 2 days. I don't usually get cramps until the day before my period starts, and they don't last very long, considering my period rarely exceeds 3 or 4 days. I've also had weird sciatic pain the last 2 days.

It could be the bulged disc in my lower back, caused by a blunt blow to my leg that basically rotated my leg, hips, and spine 2 years ago? But again, this injury is 2 years old, and I've never encountered lower back/ abdominal cramping or sciatic issues as a result.

I know I'm probably being paranoid -- paranoid enough that I took a pregnancy test today, which, duh, read as negative, and would regardless of status due to the fact that, duh, it's way too soon. However, I feel like I'm justly paranoid, given how close to ovulation the accident happened.

I've only been married since March 23rd, and we are trying to build a house, and I'm working a labor intensive job, so I'm not exactly ready.

What are your thoughts?
