Back again! Hoping I'll be able to turn this post green, finally...
O day was yesterday, CD15, 03/19! We got donations on CD11, CD13, and CD14, so our timing was beautiful. FX!
1DPO: Nice temp spike. Little bit of sticky CM. Feeling normal!
2DPO: Temp a little higher. Feeling normal, though my breasts are a little tender? That's super weird for this point in my cycle. Maybe it's the Vitex. Little bit of CM, difficult to tell consistency.
3DPO: Got my FF crosshairs today... temp a little lower than yesterday. Looking like last month's stair-step pattern. Boobs still tender, like they're bruised or something. Mostly nipples. Not a constant ache, but tender to the touch. Yuck. Gums bled a little this afternoon. These are common PMS things for me, but they usually happen a lot later.
4DPO: Huuuuge temp spike today. Nipples still tender/sensitive but maybe not as bad? Some sticky CM, not much. Gums bled a tiny bit.
5DPO: Temp down a little. Nipples super tender/sensitive STILL. Had weird abdominal twinges last night, and twice randomly today, mostly on the right side. Little bit of creamy/sticky CM?
6DPO: Temp took a big dive. Nipples still really tender and sensitive, and the sides of my boobs are starting to hurt, too. Vivid dreams last night. Some CM, difficult to tell consistency. Creamy-ish?
7DPO: Temp way back up. Same issues with nipples/boobs, boobs feeling a bit heavier, too. Definitely bigger & swollen. Vivid dreams last night. Some more little bits of CM, creamy/sticky-ish, like before. Looking like typical PMS. Not too hopeful. Cervix is firm, medium/high, closed.
8DPO: Temp a little lower, still way above coverline. Boobs worse... sore, random shooting pains in the left, swollen, definitely PMS-boobs. Little bit of the same type of CM. Cervix still firm, medium/high... feels a little open maybe? I have a hard time telling. Was expecting to start spotting today (been starting at 8DPO last two cycles), but nothing yet. Since my cervix is kinda open, feel like the spotting will start today or tomorrow. Feeling pretty much out.
9DPO: Temp a tinge lower still. Boobs are huge and painful. Vivid dreams and restless sleep last night. So far no spotting. Tested against my better judgement this morning. BFN. Little bit of creamy CM. Cervix feels a little softer today and still kinda open I think? Just waiting for the spotting to start at this point.
10DPO: Temp up a little. Boobs still huge, still sore. Cervix feels firmer again and I think maybe closed again? I have such a hard time telling. No obvious CM, but I felt really... wet at one point, thought AF showed up, but nothing?? Not even anything on my undies. Weird. Still no spotting.
11DPO: Temp up a little more. Same situation with boobs. And that thing where I felt all wet/thought AF arrived happened again, twice. Weird. No spotting. Cervix feels medium-ish and maybe closed? Not sure. Tiny sore throat before bed, only on one side.
12DPO: Temp took a little jump. Same boobs. More wet/is-it-AF stuff this morning... some CM on my undies though. Thin/watery-ish? Keep checking obsessively for spotting, but none yet. Woke with the weird feeling in my throat, but it's gone now. Funny hot/tingly feeling in my lower abdomen before I got out of bed, but that's gone now, too. I was half asleep so might have been my imagination, lol.
