Good morning ladies! Hope you are all well. The holidays are quick approaching but the crazy still exists right? Please note that this week (and only this week) the train will run a little differently - instead of posting multiple threads throughout the week we're (the CT conductors) are opting to post one and collectively respond to each other.
Happy Holidays!!!
Welcome to Crazy Train. This is a thread posted daily for any of us who need to get out our frustrations or vent about our cycles.
If you find yourself checking FF obsessively, MF is getting the best of you, POAS issues, let it out here!

Re: *** Holiday Edition Crazy Train ***
Crazy level: 7
CD/DPO: 19/5
Can I just know already??
Signs/Symptoms: Well for 2 days my nipplees have been sore and I have been flat out exhausted since my trigger shot. Also had a few moments when certain smells of foods made me sick to my stomach
Explain Crazy: So I know that it is far to early for me to be having symptoms and this could all be because of the estrogen and the trigger shot. With my pregnancy I did not have sore boobs it was only my nipplea that were sore so of course I am reading in to that. This is my 3rd medicated cycle since my m/c
And I just want to be pregnant already ( like everyone else on here )

CD/DPO: 12/4?
Can I just ______ already?!: Obsess a little more about whether I've O'd
Signs/Symptoms: My chart is looking somewhat convincing for CD 8 O, but a few things are making me unsure. 1. CD 8 is ridiculously early, even for me. 2. My "post-O" temps are lower than usual (I'm normally over 98 degrees after O, at least by 4DPO). On the convincing side, I did have a +OPK on day 8, and I am using a new thermometer, so I'm thinking maybe that could account for my lower than usual temps.
Explain your Crazy here: I really want to not have O'd on CD 8 because DH was away until CD 9 (late at night) so if I O'd on day 8 I am 100% out.

CD/DPO: 7dpiui
Can I just ______ already?!: test!!
Signs/Symptoms: none to speak of
Explain your Crazy here: I didn't test out my trigger shot and will probably test tomorrow at 8dpiui, which is 9dpt, to see what it looks like as a comparison. I'm telling myself that I won't test again until the weekend, but if I'm being honest I really really want to test sooner! Thank goodness I'll have Christmas plans to keep me busy for a few days.

@Kateisoptimistic, Why do you think it'll be much earlier?
Looking at your chart from last month, I don't know if I completely agree with your CHs. CD 16 looks more convincing to me. Was last cycle your first temping? If not, what is your usual O day?
I agree with buggirl that packing OPKs to use might be a good idea so you can try to keep track of what's going on.

Crazy level from 1-10: 2
CD/DPO: CD 11
Can I just ___have sperm meet egg ___ already?!:
Signs/Symptoms: all quiet in the symptom front.
Explain your Crazy here: This is my first cycle using CB digital OPKs so I can test in the morning. I'm missing not being able to see the progression of my test line getting darker.
Yesterday's while we were at the movies I started having O pain (I may or may not have went to the ladies so I could update my chart). My OPK had been negative. Luckily, I had some wondfos that I just received from one of our grads. I tested when we got home (in the late afternoon) and got a clear positive. This a.m.'s CB OPK was positive. Not normal for me to have two days of positives and my surge is usual hard to catch.
No real point to this other than to say I think I'll have a temp rise tomorrow which would give me CHs for today. I think that would be awesome because I've decided this one is good quality

I am hopping on the train too.
Crazy level from 1-10: 9
CD/DPO: 16dpo
Can I just ___get AF___ already?!:
Signs/Symptoms: typical LP symptoms. A tiny but of spotting 2 days ago but nothing since. BFN on 12dpo.
Explain your Crazy here: I am pretty sure I'm out bc of the bfn at 12dpo, but my LP is usually 14 days (sometimes 13 and once it was 15). I am not 100% sure of my o date bc I haven't been temping, but I am pretty sure. It's at least within a day or 2. If I don't get AF soon, I will prob not O in time before DH goes back to Sweden. I'm also considering testing again but I really don't think I'm pg, I already had the bfn. Plus I don't have any tests. Ahhhh!

Haha. DH and I were out so we went to the drug store. He thought the HPTs were waaaay too expensive and thought we should wait. I should've brought some wondfos with me but I didn't so I wouldn't make myself crazy. Which ended up just making me more crazy. Lesson learned.

Can I just ______ already?!: Know that I O'd/calm the f*** down?
Signs/Symptoms: EWCM for the past 4 days, o pain on left side all day yesterday, increased sex drive, positive OPK Mon and yesterday morning, temp dip yesterday and then today too????
Explain your Crazy here: Yesterday when I got the temp dip I was a little concerned because I didn't know what it was. But, I looked it up and was like, "Oh good, I should o soon." I had o pain yesterday and only my morning OPK was + so I figured today I would see the spike. No dice. It's just as low as it was yesterday (adjusted for waking up early). I've never temped properly for a cycle so I don't know what to expect or what is normal. Of course to make myself even more insane I took my temp when I woke up for real 3 hours later and it was 97.9 (I know, I know....stupid and it doesn't mean anything). But seriously, is this normal to have two really low days? I'm so worried this will be an anovulatory cycle. I'm freaking myself out basically.

PAL January Siggy Challenge: Good Advice
CD/DPO: CD8, took last clomid last night
Can I just ______ already?!: not feel so clueless about what is to come
Signs/Symptoms: crazy crazy amounts of CM... A mix of creamy and EW. Lots of dull o-like cramps on both sides
Explain your Crazy here: I feel like everyone warned me that things would dry up big time and to have the preseed handy. I used to have quite a bit of CM throughout my cycles until my mc in July. After that, next to nothing. Since starting the clomid, it is even more than I ever remember before. So is drying up something yet to come?
And also? Obviously the crazy amounts of CM makes me compare things to the other cycles that had my normal amounts of cm, and those were + cycles. Eff.my.brain.

Since you have the preseed, I would consider using it unless the crazy amounts of CM you have is all EWCM.
