Today is day 19 of my cycle- I almost always have 28 day cycles. Am extremely exhausted- as in- wanted to go home last night after work and go directly to bed. Started feeling crampy and bloated last night and again today- not sure what to think about it. Any one else have these symptoms?

These could be symptoms of elevated progesterone, which would be consistent with pregnancy, I think.
My sister conceived without IVF or IUI and she was bloated around 28 days, but I don't know about 19 days.
Being really tired is also consistent with pregnancy. In early pregnancy I am always exhausted!

Are you taking any progesterone support (pills, injections or cream/gel)? It sounds like it could be pregnancy symptoms, however, any type of prog support would mimic those symptoms as well. Good luck!

This cycle is all natural. We took off the month from Clomid and any monitoring. The only thing I am continuing is my accupuncture this month. If I don't get my BFP this month, I am going to start looking for a new Dr. as well- if insurance at least pays for the consultation.

Crampy around then can be a sign of implantation. I hope this is it for you.Good luck!!
