The "two week wait" or, in our case nine long days of waiting.
During the days surrounding ovulation I experienced strong cramping, I was uncomfortable and bloated but figured my body was a tad over stimulated by the higher dose of Clomid this cycle and tried not to worry. A few days later my breasts and more specifically my nipples were noticably sore, enough that I was complaining about them - then despite wincing in discomfort I welcomed the soreness in hopes it was an early sign of pregnancy.
My acne has been insane, I feel like I am a teenager again which I hoped was another sign of pregnancy (despite having clear beautiful skin with our first) this kind of outbreak was far from my normal skin.
With our first pregnancy, even before we really knew our sweet boy was there, I had intense mood swings and while this cycle has been a rollercoaster I assumed that was just a result of the Clomid. Occassionally I've noticed frequently running to the bathroom along with randomly having a touch of nausea, both of which I shrugged off since both could have been a reaction from the Clomid as well.
Also, I had been BBT charting this cycle and noticed a handful of days post ovulation my temp dipped, the next day and the days following it sky rocketed. I knew I couldn't bank completely on the temp dip as it could have very well meant nothing, given the two positives I think we can confidently say that we had an implantation dip.
I was hopeful, the soreness/tenderness was my biggest hope for a positive and I couldn't help but feel like this was our month. Still cannot believe it actually is.
