my 'O' symptoms?

I don't know the exact date that I ovulated according to my chart below. It looks like anywhere between the 14th and 16th day of my cycle.

From what I've read, the rhythm method suggest that most ppl ovulate on day 14 of their cycle. Per the TCOYF book, it's not true. Everyone's body is different, and so you have to read the signs to see when you are most fertile.

Ironically for me, it seems the 14th day of my cycle (or maybe the 15th even) was the day I ovulated...

So with that in mind, here are my symptoms (dpo = days post ovulation)

1 dpo - I had some slight pinching in my left ovary.

2 dpo - cramping on left side at night. Had a metallic taste in my mouth (maybe it was my filling?)

3 dpo - medium intensity period like pains, a little bit of a head cold and runny nose, headaches, a little dizzy, and I gained 3 lbs :-( waaaaaah!

(I think maybe it's even a little too early to tell if I really Ovulated b/c this is my first chart, and there aren't many temps recorded yet... We shall see)

It kinda feels like the type of cramps I get the day before or of my period. Is it PMS? Being that I gained 3 lbs and all (I usually gain about 2lbs a few days before my 'riod). Or maybe it was Thanksgiving dinner LOL

I have only been charting this month. I know that my last cycle was 26 days, so if we are staying with that length right now, it would mean my period isn't due for another 9 days. I don't usually get cramping this early.

Maybe it's ovulation pain? I read that when you ovulate you can have cramps/pain in your ovaries. I mainly feel it on the left side. Even when I get my 'riod, I always feel pain on the left, nothing really on the right.

Most likely, it's just that I'm paying closer attention to my body that I noticing every little thing that's happening to it now...

Keeping with my over-analytical personality -- i just hope there's nothing wrong with my equipment. LOL
