Ok is it weird to physically be able to tell when you are ovulating? It is almost like PMS symptoms. Ok maybe not as extreme. But it seems like I can tell. Anyone else have this?
CarrieDawn
Yeah, I get lots of symptoms when I'm ovulating. Some months, I get bloated, increased CM (of course), no appetite, a bit of spotting once in awhile, horrible pain, and (I know this one sounds weird) my skin looks better. I wish I looked like I do around ovulation all the time!

It seems like the day before, I feel really drained almost like I am coming down with a cold, and then the following day I am fine. Is that just my hormones going bonkers? Oh, and the CM drives me crazy! Some months there is more then others. I dont like being able to feel it though. Sorry tmi.
CarrieDawn
This doesn't happen anymore, but I used to get so much CM (sorry, I know way TMI) that it was dripping out of me. I'd have to wear a pad to get it all. It was probably a good thing, but it was a little much.

ME too! ditto on the MC. also cramps in my lower abdomen.
skuhn
ok well at least i am not the only one. I guess that means at least I am ovulated that is half the battle,ok maybe a quarter of it. When you spot how many days do you spot for?
CarrieDawn
Usually one or two.
skuhn
I spotted 3 mos ago and freaked! was in the doctor the next day, and he told me that was normal, I argued with him because it had never happened. I think we as women got screwed! and not in the good way! :)

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
