Crazy or Possibility?

So, I stopped my OPK and temp checking in June (stress and all that ya know?)

Well, did bunch of blood work in May/June and Ultrasound to make sure everything is good for pregnancy. Only unknown whether tubes still open from from Essure reversal surgery.

When I did chart temps, temps Pre-Ov is in 96 range and Post-Ov in the 97 range. The day of AF, temp would drop from 97 to 96.

Ov happens anyway from CD12 to CD19 for me and does not impact AF start. I average a 27 day cycle, but have been known to have a 28 or 29 day cycle.

Ov does not apparently influence AF. Ov on CD12? That month I'll have a 14 day luteal phase and a 27 day cycle. Ov on CD19? I'll have an 8 day luteal phase and a 27 day cycle.

AF is RELIGIOUS! As in, I look at my Period Tracker app, see when it predicts my next AF and AF will show up the day before guaranteed almost every month, unless it would put my cycle at less than 27 days and then it shows up 1 or 2 days later and the cycle restarts. I have had a couple 31 day cycles, but last time it happened was in Aug 2014.

Issue of day:
AF due July 20. Nothing.
July 21, no AF.
July 22, randomly checked cervix position that evening, spotting, thought AF coming. I use a period cup, so put it in. Emptied cup few hours later, but less than 1ml of blood. Didn't think much of it. Thought out for count for month.
July 23, empty cup when I got up, if it was .25ml, I'd be surprised. No more blood. Leave cup out. No more blood remainder of day. Random pains on right side only off and on all day at hip area. Brief, not extremely painful, but uncomfortable and noticeable.
July 24, still no AF. Random temp check in morning. 97 range (Post-Ov range).
July 25, still no AF, temp still in 97 range
July 26, still no AF, temp still in 97 range

5 BFN since July 20. No clue when Ov happened, but passed on spotting and prior months, say July 10 (CD18) or July 11 (CD19). Trying not to get hopes up, but starting to freak out slightly. My cycle has never been wonky like this. AF should have ended July 23 (4 day usually) and hasn't even shown!

Plus, despite religiously drinking coffee in the morning, the last couple days it hasn't been appealing. Cold in afternoon was okay, but my morning coffee I barely touched and ended up dumping yesterday and didn't bother making this morning. Just...not appealing.

Am I crazy? Doctor says if no AF in couple more days and no BFP to make appointment.

Your thoughts ladies?
