I think the growing pain I'm feeling that feels like the achiness I get during luteal swelling IS the achiness I get during luteal swelling. I'm suspicious that the spearmint is making my period arrive earlier, so I'm already in my next luteal phase. If so, that'd be fantastic! It usually takes a good century for me to get my next period, so if I can count on my cycles being shorter and a bit more predictable, so much the better.

My mark from my Kangzhu cup has faded considerably. I forgot all about it and didn't notice it in the mirror when I got dressed this morning. I think by tomorrow it'll be completely gone. Whew.

That's very good! So you can start pumping again, yay.

About the achiness...I have that too after ovulation. This is the second month in a row I am experiencing it. In the beginning I had no growing pain whatsoever.
