This overdramatic temp spike is playing with my emotions

GAH!!!!

Add to that phantom symptoms, and you have an HJK all wound up for eventual disappointment.

I'm not one to put a lot of stock in phantom symptoms either, (they suck, obviously) but I've had every one in the book in previous cycles and I didn't even O. So I tend to take them with a huge grain of salt, but lets just go down the list:

1) Cramps. I can't really say what is "normal" for me in this department because I've been on BC for a year and with that I only cramp the day before and during AF. This cycle I've had them off and on since O and getting more frequent, it's probably period related and just different from what I'm used to.
2) Nipple pain. This I can say for sure is NOT normal for me, I have occasionally sore boobs and nips, but this takes the cake. I actually had a dream that someone was winding a thread around my nipple and pulling it tighter and tighter, I've been having horrible pains even in my sleep. Also probably period related even though it's not "normal" for me. Who knows what's normal for me off of BC?
3) Fatigue. (but I'm always tired, I probably didn't drink enough coffee those days)
4) Lightning Crotch. I'm even laughing at myself typing it. As though a sudden shock in the crotch is the way mother nature tells women they are pregnant. Oh well.

I ovulated! Suck it PCOS!

Woot!!! I freaking did it! I’m so proud of my ovaries. My chart was looking awesome too until today with a big ol’ temp drop. (Which I can’t even be upset about because I’m still 8dpo WTF?! I’ve never been 8dpo! Anyway, I’m excited to see where this goes. I don’t expect to be KU this cycle, but hopefully this is an indicator of things to come, more ovulatory cycles with less intervention. Fingers crossed!

PS> I also swear I'll be a better blogger in the future, I started back up with good intentions only to get ridonculously busy with guests, vacations, snow removal and everything.

CHs?

I'm not too excited yet. My cat's have been behaving horribly in the morning, which is their usual MO after we've left them for a weekend or for vacation, :::sigh::: whatever. Basically, Stan scratches up the carpet outside the bedroom door to get our attention (if we let them sleep in the bedroom he just scratches my side of the mattress, the little dear) and we have tried everything we can think of to curb the habit. All I know for sure is they usually give up and go back to being good kitties in a few days.

Our timing is ok, but we weren't really focused on TTC this month. I was just focused on getting back into the swing of things and trying to get my ovaries to release an egg. We'll see if those CH even stick.
