I am so sorry about your emotional breakdown.  I do hope that you are feeling better today.  However, I think that Dee is correct in pointing out that they can see better what's going on if you wait just a little bit (not that I am an expert though!!)

Cramping in early pregnancy is very common and since your morning sickness kicked in that means that your HCG is going strong.  You know, when I first came to this forum I read a story from a poster who was very early in her pregnancy (just like you) and had so much painful cramping that she went to ER.  They checked her out and told her that her uterus was expanding to make room for triplets.  Perhaps you are expecting twins and your body is making a similar adjustment.  Just a thought...

Hi Heather

I reckon I ovulated 4 days ago but not too sure and i wouldnt have caught the eggie as I was away from DH overseas. I did an OPK strip just in case today and no LH surge. I get to start the nasal spray tonight as per my protocol.

I totally get what you mean about the posts that have bad news in them. I know after my previous 2 failed pregnancies that I will be holding my breath for the whole 9 months. I think all of us in this journey have emotionally and physically invested so much  into TTC that our hearts just get ripped out so damn easily. But while i understand your feelings, I want you to know that you will be totally ok. You are going to hold a healthy baby/ies in your arms and be the happiest mum in the world. You are going to make it Heather.
On the U/S bit, you only know how comfortable youre going to be keeping with the original U/S date. I do read  posts where u/s has been scheduled too early and bring a whole different lot of issues. But you will need to do what eases your mind  I think.

Lisa--Oh honey that is soo the last thing you need right now. It's hard enough putting on a brave face when people don't know what is going on, but when they have their nose in your business it's even worse. And at work, too. Ugh. I hope this blows over and some other topic for discussion arises elsewhere. Maybe you should let people think something else is going on medically instead of TTC. You are not obligated to reveal your personal business to strangers or bosses. I'd simply say :"It's something I was exploring, but right now I am focused on another personal issue that I'd rather keep personal."

Dee--I'd say you definately ovulated, but do you know when? My progestrone was in the mid-40s last I checked, and that was super-high. I know I O'd with six follicles that time. Did you get a chance to bd during ovulation? Maybe you're doing that now (hee hee). Anyway, most women start af around 2 weeks after O, but that can be shorter or longer depending on the length of your usual cycle.

I had kind of an emotional breakdown today, as the cramping has gotten pretty bad and I started thinking the worst. All the tragic posts I have seen on this forum seemed to rise in my mind, and I keep going to the restroom looking for blood. Isn't that awful???? I thought I was doing OK with that issue, but it crept up on me. Waiting until next week for my u/s is really getting to me. I just want to know what is going on. Maybe I'll call and see if I can do it earlier. Lexima did hers at 6 weeks, 3 days, and I will be 6 weeks, 2 days tomorrow.

Dee,
glad you got the green light!  If last week your progesterone was low and only now it went up then you most likely O'd late.  Average LP is around 14 days so you will probably not have AF for at least a week.  But there is progress and you are off to a new beginning, injectables.  

Lisa,
your supervisor has no right to know your medical problems or your personal life.  Those are private!  Sounds like she was using her position as a supervisor to elicit information from you that she had no right to know.  I am so sorry you have to go through this.  Sometimes I don't understand how people can be so insensitive but I guess unless they struggle with infertility they just don't have a clue.  I am with Dee in Lisa's fan club.  I truly admire the fact that you manage to deal with all of the problems that come your way with so much grace and courage.

Hey Lisa

Firstly i want to say to you - that I admire you greatly. You are undertaking such a big challenge on your own and you truly are a strong woman. Whatever people say around you, know that the fact that you are here at this point was because you didnt succumb to any pressure. You made up your mind and went into this 100% heart and soul. Know you always have us to vent to whatever people say - &%$# them.

Thanks for replying so quick. The clinic is convinced i wont get my period for another week - is that right? So do my numbers indicate I have just ovulated? I know that the clinic is expecting anything above 10 on non medicated (which is me) and 15 medicated.

Wow Dee,  (dancing, dancing, dancing around the room!!!)  That is a GREAT number!!  You've defintely ovulated!!!  OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I guess AF is going to be more than 4 days away.  Oh, you're back with DH....Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.       Better get to work and get that egg taken care of!   Does this mean you'll start the spray now?
