CD 14 (cycle day 14)

A change to note this cycle... (TMI ahead:) I have noticed a significant improvement in the quality (and quantity) of my cervical mucus. I attribute this to the evening primrose oil. I've been taking it morning and evening, 2000 mg per day. "Fern" shapes are changing in my saliva. I think ovulation day is approaching!

CD 10 (cycle day 10)

It's always a new sort of "rush" when I start to see the fern shapes on the scopy (ovulation microscope). There were just barely a few, on the very edge of the slide, but they were there! I should probably mark "none" for "no ferning," but it's a little more exciting to indicate "partial ferning" or "PF" on the chart. ;-) However, I know I tend to ovulate later in the cycle than earlier, so I'm not expecting full "ferning" (i.e., fertile time!) for at least a week. But we shall see!

My average ovulation day right now is on cycle day 18.
