2 years and counting
We've now been TTC for over 2 years. I had a feeling it wouldn't happen in an instant, since it took 17 months to conceive our son. But I didn't think we would get past 2 years to be honest. Af showed up this afternoon, so now it's yet another month of TTC.

@Adoette - I usually have ewcm starting around 9-10 dpo and up to ovulation at 16 dpo. So that's not totally unusual for me. But I didn't think I would get it this early when ovulation was a bit delayed. Even though the first few days it was only a little. It wasn't until around cd 16 it became a lot. But they say you should always record your most fertile cm of the day, just in case.
So, my prediction yesterday wasn't completely accurate. My temp dropped a bit more today and I still feel a bit crampy, but more on the sore side. Hopefully I'll get a temp rise tomorrow.

Oh my, I usually have plenty of cm. But I can't remember that I had this much watery cm around ovulation. If I don't wear a panty liner it feels like I'm peeing myself.. Not used to this. Hopefully it's a good sign though. Got a small temp rise this morning and hopefully it'll continue to rise from now on.

Well, seems like my body didn't release the egg 2 days ago as I thought, because today it dropped back down again. Not much to do about that than wait and see when it starts to rise for real. Mixed up the digits of yesterday's temp too, noticed it was .34 and not .43 when I took my bbt this morning and saw yesterday's temp flash.

I finally ovulated! A 5 days later then expected, most likely due to the borage oil. If there's a next time, then I will stop taking them around cd 12 instead of cd 14, so hopefully I ovulate at my normal cycle day then. But I hope there won't be a next time of course. I've started taking baby aspirin this morning and will be using progesterone cream as well. Now I just have to survive until I plan on testing.

@Adoette - Yeah, I decided it wasn't worth the risk now that they sent out a warning. I'm also trying to skip my pain meds for a while and see if it makes any difference. I only have one that contains paracetamol and I don't feel like it works on my fibromyalgia anyway. The past few months I've had fairly little symptoms from it, so I think I can manage without them during the summer.
5 dpo today and temp went back up again. I think I'll stop temping this weekend, after that there's really no use anymore. Counting down till sunday evening until I can start testing. There's no use in trying not to test until af is late, because that never works. But as long as I can hold out until 9 dpo then it feels ok.
