Cycle day: 5

Morning temp: 35.88

Time taken: 4:30 am

Cervical mucus/period: very slight spotting. (catch up: d1 – am spotting, pm heavy. Bad cramps. d2 – heavy. d3/4- light/spotting)

Cervix position/firmness: high, firm. I think, anyway!!

Ovarian observations (!): Still having the same pain over/near my right ovary. Had it since 19 July, went into hospital, no cause found. Follow up appointment made for next Monday morning.

Mood: Dandy. Feeling positive about work, affectionate towards TMD (my partner).

Energy: Okay…better than it’s been recently, anyway. Feeling relatively upbeat considering I’m normally near comatose at 7 pm. Come to think of it, I woke up this morning before the alarm clock and have rarely felt so well rested. This could be due to the new mattress?

Libido: Nah, not really. Had some giggly almost-sex after I read I should be having three orgasms a week for optimum fertility, but didn’t quite happen!

Emotional well-being practice: Rereading The Budda in Daily Life and intend to start Buddhist practice again. Chanting would be nice and I’ve missed it. Also would like to have time in my life for mindfulness meditation. Good intentions.  Also ate lunch outside in the sunshine.

Physical well-being/exercise: Walk to station in morning, walk in central city during work, partial walk home from station.

Dietary supplements: pregnancy/prenatal vitamin, omega 3
