Sometimes I forget that not everyone who reads this is into the "lingo", so I will interpret. Cycle #4 is the number of cycles we have been trying since we had Noah. CD 16 is the "cycle day" we are currently on. A normal cycle is 28 days, and for this month, it's pretty close to that average. 2 DPO means it's been 2 days since ovulation. That's because I'm pretty sure I ovulated CD 14 (Tuesday).
I took the trigger Monday night which went fantastic. I even did it myself, which I was impressed with how much it really didn't hurt. It hurt worse the next day when it was a little bruised, but now it's fine. Yesterday, Wednesday, was the worst day yet. I had so many pains and cramps in my abdomen. It was mostly on my right side, where the bigger follie was, but I had some on my left side as well, so very possible that both eggs were released. At this point all we do is wait, wait, wait. I'm pretty sure I will start testing next Monday or Tuesday, even though the trigger will still be in my body and it will be a false positive, but I really want to see the lines get lighter and then hopefully darker.
The HCG meds (Pregnyl, if you care to know the name) has a half life of about 24 hours, meaning the 10,000 units should be out of my body in about 10 days, or July 21 (CD 23). That's when I should really know if I'm pregnant or not. Although the fertility people say I shouldn't test until July 28. I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much since this really is the first REAL cycle that anything could possibly happen. Not to mention, if we aren't pregnant, then I don't have to worry about a baby being due in busy season.
