When you ovulate what is the longest you can have the cramps for and how many days past ovulation can you actually start to feel pregnancy symptons?

No idea about the first question, as .I've never had ovulation cramps, but I personally began to feel "off" a few days after I conceived. I didn't necessarily experience any symptoms, but I felt... Different.

I'm not sure if that's helpful at all :(

Not all women feel ovulation. Same thing with symptoms. A lot of women say their first symptom was their missed period. It takes up to 6 days for implantation and you wouldn't feel pregnant until then. Usually around the time of your missed period. Good luck!

i think this is also quite common. We tend to forget all those 'pregnant' feelings we sometimes get every month - unless we turn up pregnant that month. Then, we say, "i knew it! I knew I was pregnant." when the truth is, i've felt pregnant a lot of months and not been.

The reality of it is that progesterone causes both pms and pregnancy symtoms. Ovulation cramps can happen before, during or after so its not something anyone has a definite answer for and usually monst women feel "true" pregnancy symptoms after implantation has occured which on average is 9.1dpo but anywhere between 6-12 dpo. Keep in mind even after implantation lots of women dont feel much well after a missed period.

Well I was asking bc I was taken clomid and estrogen this month and I think I actually felt ovulation this month, but never have before. It was a slight discomfort like af was coming and pains on right side. However I was not suppose to ovulate till last friday and felt these symptons from tues thru sat. Then I am now 5dpo and my boobs have been kind of sore? I know its way to early but its just weird. This whole month has been different for me.
Then I was thinking that I could have ovulated tues. Bc thats when the cramps started actually making me 8dpo. I have blood work tomorrow for progestrone levels so will see on friday what the doc siad was my ovulation day based on blood work! Fingers are crossed this month and blow me some baby dust, i'm ready!!!
