really surreal that it's my turn to write this post.
This was our 6th cycle. I really had so few symptoms that I figured I was out this round. I had a crazy amount of creamy CM at 4 DPO, and then a little bit at 7, but that was it. My boobs didn't hurt. My back was bothering me, but we just recently painted a room and put together book shelves, so I figured that was the reason. I was extra gassy starting around day 8, but I figured that was my cooking. The only real thing that stood out at me was I had achy cramps starting on 7 DPO, which I knew was way too early to be AF cramps (but that's exactly what they felt like). Over the next couple of days, they got less achy, more crampy, kind of like sore muscles, but in my ute. Sometimes it felt a little bit similar to a UTI.
I drank green tea this time from CD 1 - O. I didn't have any EWCM, but it definitely increased my watery days. This was the second month I took red raspberry supplements. DH was also taking men's fertility vitamins (he had borderline SA results). The main thing we changed, though was our sex. Previously we had been doing the every other day thing b/c of DH's low SA results. I had a meeting with a new doc earlier this month, and she said to stop having sex about 4 days before expected O, and then once I get a + OPK, have sex for three days straight. We ended up doing that, but even doing it more than once for the last two of the three days.
So there you have it. Thanks again for all the support and well wishes. GL ladies!!!!!
