@Sailing_Mama *highfive* for thinking alike! After this AF showed figured 'what the H, okay, then I'm ALL IN' and bought the VIP membership.
@Buthayna I know it's hard and cycles like this can be... well.. physically taxing to phrase delicately... But keep at it and don't give up hope for a late O. I'm usually VERY regular (28 days), but had a cycle just like this lately. I gave up, then suddenly O'd on CD28 (!!). Was so mad at myself afterwards - because this way our timing was bad that cycle. So keep on if you can, FX that O will come soon

@Sailing_Mama You can use plastic wrap to make little suppositories. Or (excuse me being indelicate) just slather around your labia/vagina using your hands.

@ChefRamsay Ummm... this might be a silly question... but what exactly do you do with the coconut oil for a yeast infection? I love natural remedies, but haven't heard that one! Very intrigued though
@Sailing_Mama You can use plastic wrap to make little suppositories. Or (excuse me being indelicate) just slather around your labia/vagina using your hands.
Wow!! I have never heard of this. I have a jar of coconut oil that's solid at room temperature. I am going to Google more about this, but also share all the info you have about why it works, and is coconut oil bad for sperm JIC?
ETA: I just read you can eat 1 tablespoon three times a day before meals, or dip a tampon in the oil. fascinating! Coconut oil contains three compounds that is known to destroy the nucleus of candida albicans, or what causes yeast infections.
ETAA: Coconut oil is not harmful to sperm and can be used as lube. I'm going to slather DH in it so it gets everywhere it needs to be. woohoo thanks for fixing all my problems!

I posted a last week and then have been pretty silent! I didn't mean to be a drive by, its just report card time, so my free time has been sucked dry! But I'm going to try to be more active!!
Month/Cycle: 2
WAYDTGKU: HIO, OPKs, CM (I would love to start temping, and we are moving our 10 month old into her room this weekend *finger's crossed* which means I will likely be more successful with that starting Monday!)
R/R: So tired! I was at work until almost 6 (after getting there at 6:30) finishing report cards, then came home to watch election coverage until 12:30 (West Coast), and now I have to deal with 30 disappointed 5th graders.... I guess the good news is I got my first high OPK this morning, which means we get to start having the *good* sex (DH and I always seem to enjoy it more when it's 'that' time ) - sorry if TMI

Proudly half Hungarian. My paternal grandparents survived the Holocaust and were part of the Hungarian Revolution in the 1950s. On my mom's side I think I'm a bit of a European mutt - English, French, etc.
@Sugargirl1019 I've not done any research on it. I did ask my OB if it was OK to use as lube while TTC and she said it's fine. It's what I use for lube since I'm too sensitive for anything else. And I love coconut oil and use it for everything! It's even good on toast!

@hartmich and @Anna_1021 thanks! All my other temped cycles ive is on cd16 or 17. I did have a super long (for me) cycle in feb/march but I started temping right after that and don't know if I O'd or not...that sucks that you usually O this late, hartmish!

WAYDTGKU:PNVs, temping, OPKs, completely cut out all caffeine, starting CoQ10 & making hubby take it too, HIO, preseed, Mucinex
R/R: I finally turned an OPK. I was in such a great mood. That quickly turned sour. I am so sick about last night. I really don't know how it happened since I'd say at least 75% if not more of the people I know are Clinton supporters. I'm just really worried that everything we've worked hard for will be gone and our country will be back to racism, sexism, anti-gay rights. So so sad. I was not in the mood to wake up at 2am to HIO when h got home but I did.
CS/Q: last month I had a positive Wondfo on a Saturday night and Sunday morning. Then had both positive Wondfo and clearblue Sunday night. And then positive Wondfo Monday morning. I O'd on Tuesday. This time, I had the first positives together on Wondfo and Cl and then again tonight so debating on when I'll O

*lurking from TWW* @littlebug2010 We had rumors about having Cherokee ancestry, but I did research and realized it's by marriage and not in our bloodline. We had someone marry Chief Bunno's son. The name of Bono in Ohio is named after them. PS I highly recommend 23andme if anyone wants to do an easy saliva DNA test. I found close cousins that way. @bumpybump I'm gonna see what I can find on this board about cysts and fibroids tomorrow. If I don't find enough or it's old, I'll make a new post and we will see what answers we can get. I'm wondering if I have something going on too.
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
WAYDTGKU: Temping (although no sleep last night so I skipped today), cm, PNV
R/R: can't even get started...I work with higher ed students and it was definitely a somber day with them, esp. since this was the first election many could vote in.
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: I would like to celebrate our diversity today. What is your ancestral heritage? Great question! Majority of my ancestry is Russian.
