Did we miss ovulation or was this close enough?

HELP>>>Ovulation Question.Specifics Please read and advise.?

• Have any of you experienced AF-like symptoms around the time of ovulation??? I have been spotting brownish off and on all day, I have a headache, my back hurts, my boobs are a little tender, and my pelvis hurts around where my ovaries are... I am on CD13, and really confused. Never noticed any of this before and wondering if I should be concerned yet, or wait it out a couple days. I had a miscarriage 4/6, and the last 2 cycles since miscarriage have not been anything like this??? I have read about ovulation spotting but can that happen to someone who has had 2 successful pregnancies without have ovulation spotting before??? this is my chart on fertility friend if you want to check it out: http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/2839df and this is my OPK stick AND the LINE IS darker up close. My camera sucks. http://s619.photobucket.com/albums/tt273/amydz24/?action=view&current=079.jpg. Thanks ladies... Hubby and I baby danced last night, but not sure if we should skip tonight or dance again. Don't want sperm to not have built up enough. PLEASE advise. And good luck and baby dust to all of you who are TTC as well.

• Answer:

  Looks like your temp should be going up still and that should confirm ovulation. Spotting can be normal at ovulation no matter if you have had babies or not. And me having had a miscarriage before I know how dramatically it can change EVERYTHING about your cycle A good way to know you should be ovulating is to track your cervix position... its kinda gross lol but trust me helps so much. You wash your hands and stick two fingers in your v until you reach your cervix and note the position- high,low, or medium. How it feels-Hard, soft, or medium The opening-Open, closed, or medium. When ovulation is approaching it should be high, soft, and open. Another way is to check your cervical fluid. You do about the same thing as when checking your cervix. You put 2 clean fingers in your v until you reach your cervix and put one finger on each side and gently push pull your fingers out and pull apart slowly you should see it being stretchy and slippery. that is fertile fluid. The day of ACTUAL ovulation you wont have this fluid. Only the days before. And of course the other way like you said it ovulation test kits. I forgot to add also that men that ejaculate every day have more healthy sperm. I baby danced every night and I am pregnant now. If there is any chance of you ovulating baby dance away. Good luck & baby dust
