My husband and I are trying to concieve (conceive) a child. (my 4th child) the ovulation predictor detected an lh surge on August 2, and we have been having intercourse since then. The problem is, this is supposedly the third day after the positive result and I have had painful but mostly annoying menstrual type cramping all day. In the past I have known when I ovulated by a sharp pain in either side of my lower abdomen, unlike the cramping that I am feeling now.Is it possible for me to have cramping during ovulation or should I be worried about UTI's or other problems? Should we continue to have intercourse? Thanks for any advice.
Its not uncommon for some women to actually feel or have some pain during ovulation. Since my hysterectomy(1 ovary left) its the only way I even know where I am in my hormonal cycle.  If the pain persists, I recommend you see your doctor, as it could always be something else.
