Just here to say I am in the exact same position. We triggered on 7/6 and I am 5 days out from ovulation. Just found out last Friday my mom (whom we had over for dinner the night before) tested positive🤦🏻‍♀️ since the power of positive thinking is about all we can really do, I’ve been focusing on imagining what’s happening in my body every day (i.e. day 1 - sperm is meeting the egg, day 2 - embryo starts traveling down Fallopian tube, etc). Feel free to DM if you just want to chat the nerves away!
