Day 22 (CD11)

Today was my first fertile day (as determined by the Doering Rule + creamy cervical mucus), so I now officially have a coverline, a bit lower than normal, but still well within my range.

Current coverline: 97.5
Average coverline: 97.7
Coverline range: 97.4-98.1

Cervical mucus is again creamy internally only, and cervix position is the same as well: firm, low, and partially open. I suppose consistency in these fertility indicators is a good sign as well.

Day 20 (CD9)

I had another nice, normal temp this morning. No cervical mucus yet, either.

I've decided that with charting cervical position, I'm going to use the Doering Rule to determine when to start checking this secondary fertility sign. The Doering Rule counts the beginning of the fertile phase as "the day of the earliest previous temperature shift (which for me would be CD17) minus seven." Since for me that would work out to be CD10, that is when I start checking the cervical position, and I continue until after ovulation has been determined. So, tomorrow starts cervical position check -- stay tuned!
