I got a glob of ewcm today. I swear if I O earlier this month I'm going to scream. I'm just finishing up my first AL cycle and I had crazy EWCM for like a week and a half. If we were TTC this cycle I think it would have driven me crazy:/

sammysam I'm glad to see you here. I hope your time away let you have some space and opportunities to be gentle to yourself as you start to heal. FTR I am not temping. After the CP in June, I just kind of lost it with how unpredictable my cycle is mostly because of how unpredictable my sleep can be. I have found it way less stressful not to temp. Especially because I have so many labs and ultrasounds done that I know from those when I am about to ovulate, or right after I O'ed. charliefox so many ughs to all those stim side effects. You're almost done though! You got this! purple FX for a good result this month! sunny75 congratulations!!!! AFM: Month/Cycle: started TTC winter 2016, break/benched summer 2017 through winter 2018. Off bench 5 ish months. Timing: -3,-2,-1,O,O+1 CD/DPO: CD 18/ 2DPO Symptoms: My nipples are SO sore. Also O-2, O-1, O were incredibly painful days for me due to bloating and the giant follicle and potential cyst. Thankfully, that resolved after O, but man alive. That was rough. RRCS: The RE reviewed my labs and U/S this morning and gave me the go ahead to start crinone today. I'm over it. Last cycle my nausea and bloating were pretty bad on it. Also all the white chunks of crinone leftovers and discharge = yuck yuck yuck. BUT I'm really excited about our timing. Like really really excited. And hopeful.

Well, FINALLY heard from the nurse at 6:15pm who told me to trigger at 7pm!
Egg retrieval is set for 7am Thursday. Shit. Is. Happening.
H and I were freaking about what to do with DS, but luckily my dad agreed to hop on a plane tomorrow to come take care of DS on Thurs. Phew.

sammysam, I temp. I feel lost when I don’t keep up with it. The last 4 days have all been the exact same temp, I think I’m in need of a new bbt. My trusty CVS brand bbt has lasted me 4 years of ttc though. purple I have everything crossed for you that this cycle is it!

Cycle/month: 14
Timing: -4,-1, O
CD/DPO: CD18 / 8DPO
Symptoms: very sore boobs and so tired, anxiety on overdrive (all pretty normal post O symptoms for me)
RRCS: I swear my boobs feel bigger and more sore than they usually do after O, but I’m pretty sure I think this every cycle. My bbt has been the exact same temp for the last 4 days, I think after 4 years of temping with my CVS brand bbt its time to replace it. I hate how my anxiety always goes into overdrive after O. Some cycles are worse than others. I just can’t find a way to make myself calm down and I know I drive my H up the wall with it. We are now 1 month into our 3 month wait to see if clomid brings up H’s numbers.

octoberrust, thanks! Have you seen a pattern to your anxiety other than just that it hits after O? Mine peaks around 7dpo and it is rough. I got to the point where once I O'd I'd mark 6-8dpo on the calendar as "anxiety days" and warn H. I'd make sure to schedule some down time those days, have easy meals planned out, just generally plan ahead to not be myself for a few days. It really helps that H knows so when I have a freak out and tell him I just need a little space or a few moments of piece or whatever then he totally gets it.

sharebear, wow, that's amazing timing! charliefox, that's amazing that your dad can come. Good luck with everything this week. I hope it isn't too grim. octoberrust, so sorry about the anxiety. That sounds rough. nerdalert, luckily this month the O symptoms were pretty much only on O day, so we dtd on -1 and +1. I'm 3dpo and my boobs are already tender and inflating like balloons. This is bonkers and definitely psychosomatic. I am hopeful this month, but there's no way I could be having real symptoms at 3dpo.

purple I too have ridiculous boobs at 4DPO. And nipples have been sore since 1DPO. Obviously implantation occurred instantaneously for both of us Hang in there! I'm at the point where I'm leaving a crazy supportive bra on 24/7 because it hurts to have them hanging any other way.

Back from egg retrieval, we got 7 eggs which isn't great but it isn't horrible. RE says she expects 1-3 embryos. FX this all works out.
Now I'm going to sleep the rest of the day while H and my dad hang out with DS.

Fertilization report today. Out of my 7 eggs only 4 were mature, and only 3 fertilized. Not great, just hoping those 3 keep growing!

charliefox, Fingers crossed here as well. Had to go to doc yesterday - I have bronchitis. Because I may or may not be pregnant, they couldn't give me meds past an inhaler. Currently doing my best not to move because even getting out of a chair causes me to hack up a lung.

Yogurt and sammysam that's awesome news. Thanks! I really thought O was the best. We deliberately didn't dtd on O day because my consultant told me that getting -1 and +1 is much more effective. Apparently sperm is at its strongest after 48 hours, which is why eod is recommended. I didn't want to dtd on O day this month because of the cramps and nausea, but we hit -1 and +1 so I know we've got really good timing.

I've never been a fan of early or repeated testing, and I know some of you are. I'm 8dpo tomorrow. That's definitely too early for an accurate result, isn't it? What's the earliest you would expect an accurate test result?
I can't quite believe I'm asking this. I think I'm going mad.

People do get them early sometimes. I believe the bfn at 11/12dpo. Good luck! Eta, one positive of testing early amd getting an eventual bfn is that its more of a gradual let down. A positive to testing at like 12dpo+ is that there is no mindfuck, your answer is pretty clear.

purple I agree with above. I think 12dpo is when I generally believe my results. But that doesn't stop me testing at 10dpo:)
