Are cramps good or bad at this point?



CD26

As the title to the post implies, I am still having some cramps in my mid section.  Mostly on my right side but I had some in the middle as well.  Not sure if these are pre period cramps, cramps left over from drugs or something else going on in there.  Don’t want to speculate too much, but how often does that really work?

The good news is that my temps are still up on FF which gives me continued hope that I O’d this cycle.  Not sure if FF is correct on the specific day of O, my trigger was on the 16th, IUI was on the 18th and it puts my O on the 19th (3 year anniversary!) but I think either way the timing was still good.  So I am currently either 7 or 8 days past ovulation.  I am having a tough time believing that I ovulated, because I have no other cycles where we have been able to confirm it. 

I am also getting the urge to test.  I have no idea why since at 10 days past trigger there is a real possibility the trigger is still there and at 8 days past IUI it is too early to get a positive.  I guess I just want to see if the trigger is still there, but testing always makes me more emotional than I think it will – even if I set myself up by saying “if you get a positive it is the trigger and if you get a negative it is too early” so exactly what am I hoping to see?  I think I may end up testing on Sunday – it will be 14 days past trigger so that should be out of my system, and 12 days past IUI so possibly could get results.  Although I know I shouldn’t test that day because it is my niece’s 1st birthday party and my 2 pregnant cousins will be there, so if I get a negative I will be in a pissy mood.  Maybe I will only test if I have any “symptoms” like sore boobs or my temps are still high….
