How awesome to find someone else with a similar situation! I definitely
would like to talk with you more about this, and hear how things are
progressing for you. I also can feel the "twinge" every month
(sometimes it's a lot more than a twinge!), but I have also used the
OPK's to pinpoint ovulation, and it's always been late, at least I know
it has since at least my late 20's, when I first began recording my
twinges. I was NOT expecting such a quick response to this post. I
didn't really have a question, I just wanted to know if there was anyone
else like me -- now I've "found" someone! Thanks so much for writing,
and may your efforts be rewarded!
