Update: I’m 99.9% sure I’m ovulating today! Yay! CP and CM and twinges in my side are all pretty good indicators. I am thinking my TWW will start tomorrow. Hate that I have to wait until Thursday to be sure and confirmed by temps.

Momma i think i'm feeling mine too! I don't get "pain" but i feel a little crampy and also my CP is super high, soft and open. Lots ewcm too. Are you going to BD again tonight?

Liisa this is my 3rd week on it and so far have not noticed any weight loss. Momma I will definitely be O soon I can tell that much just gotta wait for temps to support that.

I hope to BD tonight. Just to have one more time, but I’m so tired. Hopefully I get a second wind when I get off work. I’m also very irritable today, and I have no idea why. I just want to go to sleep so bad!

No BD last night, but day 2 of high temps. Fingers crossed!

It's a BD marathon at my house and we are both exhausted. I took the ovidrel shot on sunday around noon and O is supposed to happen within 24-36 hours. I felt all symptoms of O yesterday but didn't get a temp rise this morning?????? My temp has been super stable for the first half of this cycle and i haven't seen an increase yet. Maybe temp is slow to rise. I'm concerned tho because i'm supposed to start progesterone suppositories tomorrow. If i don't see a temp rise tomorrow should i delay starting them? I can't use OPK since taking the trigger because it won't be accurate (side note, i took an HPT yesterday and it was positive so the trigger shot did something...). Going to try to BD one more time tonight. Also going to increase metformin dose later this week. I'm really hoping it helps with weight loss -- i'm so over gaining weight despite being on a strict low carb diet. It just isn't fair!

So i've been doing some reading and it seems like BBT is not accurate during medicated cycles with injectables. Doc didn't tell me that, but in all fairness i also didn't ask. Anyway, just checked CM and CP again and the ewcm is back and crazy and the position is even higher today. So now i'm thinking i may not O until today? Going to beg DH for one more BD just in case tonight. Fertility Friend says that when you use the HCG trigger that you need to manually put in your O date and not rely on BBT. Now i just have to decide if yesterday was O day or today??? I guess i'll wait to see when the CM actually dries up and put O as the day prior. Today will be 48 hours after the trigger which seems long since it says it will work within 24-36 hours.

@lissa ive read it is very common to have fertile cm for 24 hours after you O. So maybe you did O yesterday, and you’re still just very fertile? I usually don’t dry up until 2-3 dpo most cycles. Could make a difference since you had the trigger shot.

@Momma -- so how am i supposed to know the actual O date if i don't get O pains, couldn't test LH surge, and the window for ovulation after the trigger is 24-36 hours? Just assume the worst case scenario as 36 hours so count the second day after trigger as O day? Why is this so confusing?!

My temp just keeps going down. Ugh and my opks are driving me nuts. Maybe I missed my peak because I’ve been slacking on the opks. I definitely have a lot of CM and it seems to range from watery to EWCM guess I’ll just wait and see when my temps jump up. So frustrating since I’m on cycle day 17 already. I was going with the metformin it would make me O earlier this month. Guess we will just keep BD every other day for now.
Liisa I’m not sure how any of that works. Hope you figure it out!
Momma I hope your temps stay up!
