Neither cramping, bloating nor cervical mucous are signs of premature ovulation. These are signs of high estrogen which means that you are responding appropriately. Ovulation would be indicated by a drop in estrogen or a collapse of follicles. Low dose lupron is highly effective at preventing premature ovulation.
Good luck on your retrieval.

: I'm really worried I may be ovulating while on microdose lupron because I've had cramping, bloating, cervical mucus and all signs of ovulation. I'm expecting to be triggered tonight so won't be retrieved until Wednesday.
: Thanks in advance for yr advice.
