This evening I've noticed A LOT of EWCM, and more watery than usual. I've had cramping, basically since I started taking the Clomid on and off (I assume from the extra follicle growth). I took the Ovidrel shot last night (10PM) and started to feel more cramping as well. I was assuming because it gives the follicles one extra boost before ovulation - I have one ready and 2 others hopefully ready by tomorrow...
I have my first IUI tomorrow morning (8:00AM) - it's OOP. Now, I'm wondering if the EWCM and the cramping might indicate that I could ovulate BEFORE the IUI? I know the timing of everything is difficult to pin-point, but the EWCM and cramping is messing with my head! :/
I'd hate to think I went through the Clomid + Estradiol + 2 Ultrasound Follicle checks + Ovidrel shot ... spend the money on the sperm washing and IUI and then ovulate early, so it's all worthless. It's been about 23 hours since I took the Ovidrel shot, and at the time of the IUI it will be 34 hours after.
Any advice or similar experiences with EWCM and cramping? I really hope I don't ovulate too early.

Have you checked an opk test? That might help ease your mind (:
My RE did say that as long as ovulation didn't happen before the trigger, than the trigger takes control of the ovulation. Not your body or your hormones.
I had my third IUI on Saturday. Hope everything goes great for you!!
