11 do and 11 days since IUI I have mild cramping. Trying to resist buying a preggo test

@trying Welcome! Fingers crossed for your BFP this cycle!
@shanta that is a good sign. Can’t wait for you to test!
@bug and matarik Hats off to you ladies for focusing on some self care.
AFM I made the mistake of going out last night. First time since last October. It was my estimated ovulation day, and I drank too much to even bother temping. It wouldn’t have been accurate. So I won’t know if I actually ovulated or not until I temp tomorrow and hopefully see a significant rise. So fingers crossed!!!

@shanta... me too!!!

@JL I usually count the day after my surge unless my OPK is negative again the day after in which I'd use the day of surge as rough ovulation date

@Jilly welcome! Fingers crossed you caught it this cycle!
@JL I was going to say the same thing as beck.
@Sam sorry to hear about your Mc. Hopefully this will be your rainbow baby!
AFM I’m not sure what’s going on with my body. I don’t think I’m ovulating this month. Or I’m going to ovulate late which is very rare for me. Usually it’s either O on time or not at all. Going to watch my temps for another couple of days, but I might already be out this cycle.

@lissa Can’t wait to see how your appointment goes!
@kelly Ranting here is your safe zone. We all understand the frustrations. Get it out whenever you need to. I agree that it seems so much harder now then it did before.
@crystal I had my EWCM a few days ago like I normally do the day before O. But I really didn’t have any other signs. My CP is always high and mostly soft. It never changes. Cramps are a good sign around 5dpo. Fingers crossed for you!

CrystalMom2BoysTTC3 I make sure to take a prenatal with folate (not folic acid), and I take an extra L- methylfolate pill every day. I found out I had MTHFR after I had my daughter. Thankfully, she was, and still is completely healthy and wasn't affected by it.

After looking at my chart more, I’m gonna assume my O day was Friday. So I’m 3dpo today. I didn’t get a significant temp rise like I usually do, but based off cm and temp rise over 97.1 it looks like Friday was the day. I have other symptoms of being in LP right now. Such as increased heart rate and nipple discharge. So my progesterone definitely increased some time in the last couple of days.

@beck I don’t use OPKs anymore, but if I did that app sounds awesome. It wasn’t always easy to judge them myself. Hope it helps you!!
@Crystal Fingers are definitely crossed. I’m going to really try hard not to test this cycle. I will be so proud of myself if I can get to AF without early testing.
@bug that is great! Keep us updated!!
My temp rose to a more comfortable number today, but I didn’t sleep well so I don’t know how accurate it is. 4dpo and just trying to pass the time. How far along is everyone in their cycle? Got anyone close to O day or expected AF yet?

@shanta you did IUI about two weeks ago?? Fingers crossed!
