Briss - i have put on weight since xmas and want to get back into losing. I am going to attempt my first fast day tomorrow.
i have just been reading a book a picked up earlier today on the way home from work [from local second hand shop] - it is:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fertility-...e+fertility+diet+sarah+dobbyn#customerReviews
and there is a bit about pre ovulation surges...i quote:
"canadian scientists found that all women have than one wave or peak period during the menstrual cycle when the follicles in the woman's ovaries prepare to release an egg.......for 60% of women there is one surge before ovulation itslf, when a follicle frows to 10mm ie a size capable of being released; and in the remaining 40% of women thre are two of these surges - each leading to a follicle developing to 10mm or larger leading the big event itself."

I am not sure about the detail here, particularly follie size. I will see if i can find the full report.
However, it might explain why i get EWCM around CD8 and then it disappears to return a few days later. i wish i could be scanned and bloods taken on every day of cycle to get a better idea of what the heck is going on.
I hate not knowing what is going on and i hate not having control over absolutely everything! But we just have to hand over that control when it comes to this stuff - i have found the circle and bloom meditations quite good and try and focus on developing eggs etc - it helps me focus on minute detail and breathing properly. I have yet to feel i have properly 'gone under' though.
Have you got anything you can listen to for 10/15 mins RIGHT NOW to just to give yourself a break from the stress of thinking about what could be going on.
all this aside - i hate to think of you being upset. i really think this cycle will be ok - a bit wonky and unlike recent ones but ok. Please update after tomorrows scan. Briss - it will happen for you - I know it!! please dont get upset anymore
