Took all my regular pills because who am I kidding.

Cervix is kind of open and soft. Blergh.

I told myself I wouldn't do another blood test today but I HAVE NO SELF CONTROL. This time I did it properly though and actually dripped blood into a cup and then mixed it with water.

Srsly not expecting anything. BUT WAIT.

Remember the splotches aren't from filth, it's from rice starches. :/

No cervix pictures today because I forgot. Yay for temp rise!

I took another blood test today though and it was negative so probably not this cycle anyway. -_- I think the previous one was negative and it was just blood smear on the test anyway.

Cervix is closed and creamy cervical fluid is present.

Small amount of blood at OS Is from scratching the cervix with the speculum.

Took a test today because there is no time like the present and I can die tomorrow or something.

Looks highly negative. Today's severe drop in temperature makes me think it was an implantation dip though so, curiosity unstated, I used blood on a HPT.

 That looks like a line, right?

I took this last one after letting it sit in water for like a year so that the blood would go to the other side of the test and I might be able to see if there is any dye or if it's like a blood smear. As it so happens I still don't want to call it either. The internet tells me it's positive. I am undecided on whether or not I see dye. Probably won't test for a few days but I also will probably start progesterone tomorrow and stop vitamin c I think.

It is horrible to try and do this with the iPad. 

Cervix is medium and feels like its opening up. Boo. Cervical fluid was egg white/watery-ish today. Boo.

 OH OH OH OH also I forgot to tell you that the window of implantation opens on LH+ 7 and closes Lh + 11. So, since I had a + opk cd 16 (peak positive) and didn't ov until cd 18 my window of implantation opened 4 DPO and closes today. So I'll probably test at 10 and 12 dpo but it should be apparent before af if this cycle was hopeless, which I think is probably yes.

Cervix is High and tilted slightly off to the side. It is closed and firm but also slightly open in the middle. Medium? Kinda dry.

At this point a blastocyst would have properly hatched. I hate the 2ww.

Cervix is kinda purpley. I wonder if I have a blastocyst. I wonder if it's hatching or hatched.

Idk why these look so dark. I used flash. It's annoying. Maybe it's just my screen.

My temp went back up. Yay.

(Left my pills elsewhere)

Cervix is tilted oddly and firm. Still creamy cm but some eggwhite is visible.

I had to adjust the speculum like 4 times to get a straightforward angle.

I don't really know what's happening with my temps. I don't go below 98 from 4 dpo to 11 dpo or so. It's weird.

Temps still up, yay. Cervix is lower down and tilted downward.

I had to right it to take a decent picture

Cervical fluid is obv. Creamy.

2ww is driving me crazy and I'm only two days in. I spent the morning googling to see if I could do a rosette inhibition test at  home. I can't figure out the keywords for the instructions for one nor can I figure out the magnification for it. But in reality I know I don't have the capabilities. I just really really want to know. Probably honestly won't legit test until 12 dpo at least.

Cervix is high and soft, but closing. Finally got a damn temp rise. CD 18 ovulation! Ughhhhh.

I feel like this cycle was a waste and the egg is probably all dusty and awful because of how LONG it took to ov. So I can't say I'm expecting much put of this cycle.

That will probably change like 17 times before this cycle is over. :/

My temp is still higher than normal even though I have not ovulated because my demonic minion child REFUSED to sleep last night. Sigh.

Cervix is soft, high and open.

Residual amounts of coconut oil remain in the vagina. 

Finally, my OPK is positive! The lack of ewcf pisses me off though, so I'm going to fill one of my instead cups with egg whites and insert later tonight. I think I'll still put in coconut oil as a lube since it seemed to work well.

I assume I will not ov today, but tomorrow seems like a possibility.

*hulksmash*. It's about this cd that I fear I will never actually ovulate. I don't need an anovulatory cycle. Really. I know that I shouldn't expect a CD 16 ovulation now so I can only hope its a CD 17 ovulation and that we don't meander into the 20's. I really just don't want to deal with that bullshit.

Oh! And temp is definitely in post-ov levels but I haven't ovulated yet. I actually think I woke up sick. :/ will probably discard.

Cervix and temperature both indicate an estrogen surge before ovulation, though it does not look like I will ovulate tomorrow.

Opk is negative, however it does look like its beginning to pick up a LH surge.

Last night man committed the cardinal sin: he pulled out. The kicker? He's not even worried about a new baby or trying to sabotage... He just doesn't care and is stupid. He felt guilty, "for some reason. I don't know why. Why do I feel guilty?" -_- I'm not telling you because you should know and I'm annoyed and I don't care if that's cliche. Of course, this put me in a bad mood all day today.

On bad days I watch this: http://youtu.be/a-Z0IrXDGVA

It makes me cry. A lot. But it reminds me that it's okay to care. 

I got a negative opk yesterday and today but I'm still going to blame him if we don't catch an egg this cycle. I'll probably blame him if we do catch one and it doesn't stick just on principle. -_-

Cervical fluid is much more fertile than it was yesterday. I'm considering it eggwhite.

Debating on using coconut oil or raw eggwhites to facilitate sperm transport. What do you think? I'm indecisive.

Opk was unremarkably negative.

Okay. Okay. It's time to let go of the fantasy. Still no sticky baby. 

What's infuriating and worrying is that I'm like 100% infertile by symptoms still. No significant temp drop or estrogen surge. I'm going to do something stupid to my Fallopian tubes if I don't ovulate this cycle. :/ 

No pictures because this was the day I updated for the past week and I forgot I didn't take one.

Temperature: 98.01

Taking: Multivitamin

Progesterone

Cervix was high, flat and closed this morning. Temperature dropped to a point I wasn't happy with so I used progesterone, since I got the positive before.

A little later I started spotting anyway, despite the progesterone. It's like my body doesn't care what's happening.

Continued through the day.

I did get slight positives this morning too, which makes this even more frustrating.
