12.16.12- Cycle Day 16

CD 16

?? Days Past Ovulation (I'm not sure what to put so when fertility friend decides I will just go with what they say.)

Temperature: 97.4 (sleep deprived, big drop, suspect double ov)

Cervix is medium consistency, open and high. I think I am right about the super ovulation. Note the ovulatory spotting. I NEVER have ovulatory spotting. NEVER. Note that the blood is coming from the os and not from the exterior of the cervix.

Cervical fluid is blood tinged Eggwhite

Seriously been having bad cramps from this ovulation. I hope it means that I am releasing a good egg.

Enjoy your New Year's Eve!

Edit: It is 8:30 at night, and I wanted to highlight 2 things: first, how quickly the is closes (9 hours and it has closed up, signaling the end of my fertile phase [finally]) and what the cervix looks like after it has been bathed in prostaglandins.

In other words, semen. This is about 4-5 hours after sex. Semen is present at the os and is masking cervical fluid (which is still fertile)

Take a look.

12.16.12- Cycle Day 15

CD 15
1 Day Past Ovulation

Temperature 98.0 (sleep deprived)

Cervix is still open, high and soft but reached its zenith yesterday at around midnight. The bottom is really, really bumpy. That confuses me.

When I woke up this am I did not expect this high of a temperature. I am floored! I guess that last chemical made my body freak out and release an egg early. That gives me an unnecessary amount of hope for his cycle that I didn't feel before.

My last unmedicated cycle was in June-July. At the time I had a four day luteal phase. Yes, you heard that right. FOUR days. I started taking soy to produce healthier eggs/ extend my lp and it worked. I had a 7-9 day lp. Vitamin B6 extended it to 11 days. I am interested in seeing if I will get a period in 5 days or if my body is functioning more regularly.

On another note, I woke up this morning quite alright. Man went to work and I took a dive for the worse. I feel sick, sick, sick. Hopefully this doesn't last long. Ugh.


Later that night, it looks like my cervix is still open. Looks like another hyper ovulation.

I am having what is possibly the worst ovulation pains I have had to date. Both ovaries are cramping like crazy... and I didn't take anything this cycle!

Do you see those bumps on the left side of the cervix in the bottom two pictures? Those are the bumps I am talking about. I don't know what they are, I just know they aren't anything serious. How weird.

12.16.12- Cycle Day 14

CD 14

Temperature: 97.2 (both sleep deprived and drinking the night before.)

Cervix extremely high, soft, open

Cervical fluid Eggwhite

Opk very very positive

I suspect I will ovulate either today or tomorrow. CD 16 the latest. This is very unusual for me!

I put my diva cup in after intercourse. Lets see if that helps me at all.

12.16.12- Cycle Day 13

CD 13

Temperature: 97.33

Cervix is SHOW. It's too early, maybe I will ovulate early?

Cervical fluid is Eggwhite still

12.16.12- Cycle Day 12

CD 12

Temperature: 97.412 (I accidentally took it in Celsius and had to convert)

Cervix is medium-open.

Cervical Fluid is Eggwhite/Creamy

 

I only have ONE opk left. The earliest I get a + on an OPK has been CD 14, so I'm going to use my last opk on CD 14. If it's negative I'll probably ovulate on CD 17 and if it's positive I'll ovulate on CD 16. At least, that is my assumption. :) I don't really want to buy any more yet.

11.16.12- Cycle Day 10

CD 10

Temperature 97.6

Cervical fluid watery/eggwhite

It's Christmas!

This is our tree. Yes, it is wearing a hat.

This is our fireplace/stockings. Loin Fruit Minor was terrified of hers.
:)

12.16.12- Cycle Day 11

CD 11

Temperature 97.18

Cervix is beginning to open, I think.

Fluid is Eggwhite. Still. :/

12.16.12- Cycle Day 9

CD 9

Temperature: Not Taken (At mom's for Christmas Eve and forgot my thermometer)

Cervix is high soft and closed. I AM STILL SPOTTING. THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY.

Cervical fluid is brown with old blood (a little bit fresh red) and Eggwhite.

I hope everyone is having a lovely Christmas. My oldest daughter helped me decorate my mothers tree for the holidays and has been begging to to open gifts for Christmas. She is three and they have been working hard at pre school teaching her about the holidays so she can get excited. It's very cute.

12.23.12- Cycle Day 8

CD 8

Temperature: 97.0

Cervix is low, firm and closed.

Fluid is Eggwhite/Creamy/WateryI put creamy on my chart. Fluid is just a little yellow/brown. I hope that is the last of the blood.

12.16.12- Cycle Day 7

CD 7

Temperature: 97.8

Woke up to brown blood this morning.

Cervical fluid (when the blood stopped) is watery. No pictures taken of the fluid.

12.16.12- Cycle Day 6

CD 6

Temperature: 97.6 (I honestly don't know if it's 97.6 or 98.6 but 98.6 doesn't make sense, so we're going with 97)

Cervix is medium, soft and open.

Cervical fluid is Eggwhite. I really don't know why, I shouldn't ovulate this early. I think it's just the tail end of this chemical.

Edit: Later today my cervix got even softer and more flexible. It dried up a little bit but it exchanged that for openness.
