Ness-Good luck with the COQ10. Hopefully it does the trick this cycle.
Twiggers-Hopefully you caught the egg and youll see that temp rise soon! My DH also has DE, so I understand the science of home insemination all too well. As for the EWCM, have you ever tried green tea? A few cycles back I was drinking a few cups a day from AF through ovulation, and it definitely thinned out my CM (although it was really watery, so perhaps I drank too much, and I WAS peeing constantly!).
Maddy-My fingers are crossed that your IUI goes well today!
Emily- You sound like a strong woman. Im sure the thought of being a single parent seems scary, but if this is something you really want, then try not to second guess yourself. I work with a woman who decided to adopt on her own in her late thirties. Her son is now a happy 6-year old, and he lights up her world. I really hope you get your BFP this month.
Kismet-Regarding your temps, did you take them at the same time every morning and how did you sleep (tossing and turning, etc.)? Also, is this your first cycle taking the vitex?
DrH-I hope that you and your family are safe from the flood waters.
Pbl-Ugh! Sorry you got a UTI
those are the worst. Have you ever tried AZO? Its a temporary fix for the discomfort while waiting for the antibiotics to kick in. I hope your nether-regions feel better soon so youre able to take advantage of your fertile time.
Hope-Welcome!
Im in a similar situation
trying naturally for almost a year with no luck. Have you had any tests done yet? What next steps do you plan to take?
Hello and Happy Monday to Mirium, Chicken, Purps, LadyH, Moon, La Berg, and all other ladies on here. Hugs to everyone!
AFM- I had a ten day bleed-several days of brownish spotting before a really strange (sporadic) and light AF, then more multi-colored spotting for several more days. That has never happened before. CBFM said I was high yesterday, so DH and I attempted to do the deed. He has DE, so no luck with ejaculation. We had to inseminate after, but I was exhausted
and couldnt O. My temps are off (higher than usual), but Ive been tossing and turning and not sleeping well the last few days, and Im worried I might not ovulate after all
had to reschedule my FSH test due to crazy AF. I have a dr. appt. with a new ob-gyn in mid-February, but contacted Shady Grove over the weekend to get information on cost and insurance information. I still feel so confused about if Im making the right decisions and trying not to waste time
Has anyone heard of the Restoring Fertility DVD? Ive been thinking of purchasing this as another natural approach.
Have a wonderful day, everyone.
. Good luck all!
is a bad idea. Any tips for a newbie with the Instead cups? Will be trying tonight (OPK lines are getting darker!), and I've never used anything like these. OH once bought me a Diva cup as a gift (he's a super tree-hugger), but he bought the bigger size based on my age and I just couldn't get the damn thing up there. 
Glad we have a "female anatomy expert" around to help us out!
