Ok, so this update might be long. This cycle has been crazy. I never got a positive opk but did get a nice thermal shift. We bd 2 days before the shift and we planning to bd on the morning of the shift but when I woke up i got an overwhelming feeling that i didn't ovulate. I was convinced. I had an extremely emotional day and evening. we are currently trying to treat low thyroid and low progesterone and my fear that I hadn't ovulated again (two cycles earlier my blood test showed I didn't ovulated) was the straw that broke the camel's back. I chatted on fb that night with an awesome group of girls and by the morning I had convinced myself that I didn't ovulated (we only bd once at -2 dpo) and that we should take this cycle off and next cycle off. We ent to church that am and there was a baptism. I fought tears through the whole mass and list miserably- tears streaming down my face while a beautiful baby was was baptized. My husband held my hand and rubbed it through the whole mass trying to comfort me. After mass I was a mess and I couldn't explain why. I ended up taking a nap and being better after that but WTF? Monday fertility friend gave me dashed crosshairs (because of no OPK) on Monday I also started four days of OMG my nipples are huge and sensitive. I googled "strong emotions after ovultion" and "tender breasts after ovulation" low and behold both are super common post ovulation symptoms" I chose to believe I did ovulate (rather than these being pregnancy symptoms) cue hand to forehead for giving up on the bding after one try. I go about my business. Thursday night I had a similar break down at church, again I couldn't explain it and the emotions were just so effing strong. Wednesday through today (sunday) I have diarrhea (sorry this post is full of tmi) and slight nausea. I actually didn't notice this pattern until yesterday when I had to visit the ladies room and got an overwhelming wave of nausea. So now I am paying attention, and I have some slight cramping this am (9 dpo). I am not convinced I am pregnant, in fact I amabout 40-60 in favor of not. I am not one to symptom spot and I am fly aware that my symptoms and the timing is completely plausable for a regular ovulatory cycle. But how effing crazy has this cycle been and how crazy would it be to bd once, convince yourself that you didn't O and may have O problems, and somehow end up preggers. The potential irony is not lost on me. My end of cycle blood test is tomorrow am so I will likely test in the am although if I had my way I wouldn't test at all and just wait for af.
If you made it this far you deserve a medal. Have you experiencing anything similar (i.e. cray cray emtions immediately following ovulation). *sigh*
