Glorious negative LH surge

So, dear readers, after fretfully worrying that my LH surge was never going to come, I had about 3 hours on a nice plateau of calm after my ultrasound on Friday, and then I began some low grade worrying that it would come to soon. I know. Yeesh.  But, bear with me, I'm not merely a worry wart with no target.

One of the questions throughout this whole process has been, is my follicular phase too short?  In a 24 to 26 day cycle I would typically get my LH surge on day 10, have a clear cramp about 30 hours later (late afternoon of the following day), and then do the deed (we timed it better than this implies), wait too weeks (never a question of too short on that side of the slope) and drown my sorrows in an expensive evening of sushi and sake (with extra bad tuna thrown in for spite).  So when I had my ultrasound on Friday and was told that my bigger follicles were around 10m, and that I'd need until at least Monday to get to 18m, I got worried that I'd have an LH surge yesterday or today. I've had some signs that things are heating up in that direction (like, uh, the CM is a bit thin to the point of ookieness), but I had a nice digital negative (backed up, of course, by a simple pink lines negative).  So, I'm not allowed to get worried until Thursday (per Dr Calm, who also reminded me that a watched pot never boils).  I figure since I've made it through Sunday, I may have actually made normal sized eggs all on my own. 

Cha-ching!  Add one to the not completely defective column.
