Well, this was an interesting cycle to be sure.
I was attempting to suppress ovulation, take lots of progesterone to correct the ration of estrogen to progesterone in my body and give myself a wee break from the ttc madness. The plan was to do 3 cycles. I took 96mg of USP progesterone cream on day 7-26. I took my temp regularly though didn't always chart them right away. I noticed cm and other symptoms but kept shoving them back in my brain telling myself I was "on break". I did not record in my journal, have not eaten well, have rarely exercised. I was really taking a break... or so I thought.
I just this afternoon went to enter the last 5 days of bbt temps in my TCOYF chart and realized, huh, those have all been higher. Entered the data and lo and behold the chart gave me an ovulation date of cd 25 - about a week ago. If I think back, yep, did have a bit more cm around then - yep, I do remember feeling tender/sore and yep, I did also have abdominal twinges around then. It wasn't as severe as recent cycles but the signs were there.
So, guess we're in the 2 week wait - about a week through it actually, which is nice. I don't expect much, but will be watching with interest.
Will be considering future cycles, will probably continue as planned, I don't know?
