One week down, one to go!

I am 8 dpo today. I hate the 2 week wait. Actually, this month I hope for a 2 week wait. Even 12 days will be an improvement on my luteal phase. I did my first round of Clomid this cycle trying to lengthen my LP. It did delay ovulation by about 5 days making me ovulate on day 17. It really screwed up my fertility monitor, though. My monitor normally has me start testing on day 5 so I had used 10 sticks before I even went peak. Then I had to use another 10 sticks because the monitor doesn't test is batches smaller that 10. I could have stopped after I ovulated but then I would have had an uneven number of sticks and who wants that? My OCD just wouldn't allow that!

I am experiencing some strange things this month. I don't know if it is due to the Clomid or if I am having a really good cycle and this is how I should be. I have had really sore boobs since 5 dpo and I had a terrible time sleeping several nights this past week. I also have a terribly stuffed up nose. I am peeing an awful lot, too. The sore boobs could be from the progesterone. I started taking that on cycle day 18, or 1 dpo. The sleeplessness could have been from the stuffy nose. It's been one night on, one night off for a decent nights sleep. I can't explain the peeing unless again the progesterone is making me retain water but I don't feel bloated. Just plain weird. They could be very early pregnancy symptoms but I am really trying to not get my hopes up. Been through this too many times.
