My gynae recommended Yes WB rather than the fertility specific ones

did it helped to conceive

We’re currently using preseed, not pregnant yet so can’t comment on that but as a lube alone it’s effective for when sex is a necessary and your not in the mood!

None of them help you conceive in the sense of increasing prospects of pregnancy, the fertility ones (and apparently Yes WB) just don’t kill the sperm like some others can. Worth using to make TTC more comfortable/fun

I am thinking to try conceive plus.. have ordered it .. i was looking at both preseed and conceive plus.. and have seen many using conceive plus getting success.. would be worth a try .. especially after TTC since so long .. i become conscious and do not get in mood ..

I tried for 6 months and nothing. I then in the cycle we got a positive used preseed and also the ferti-lily cup and I am convinced one or both made a difference.
I found I wasn’t getting huge amounts of EWCM so the preseed actually helps with providing the environment for sperm to travel easily which the mucus should do.
The cup - I found it helped by pushing the sperm up to increase chances.
Could have been a complete coincidence but I am convinced it played a part and would 100% recommend trying. My partner however didnt like it!

Thanks Joanna.. yes its a bit experiment I think I will need to do.. mostly i have heard conceive plus and pre seed that has helped

I think the important thing is find something that makes sex easier and make sure it’s fertility focused so not to damage any sperm. 🙌🏼

Yeah we used conceive plus at the start. I think the difference for me was actually using the syringe to shoot it up with preseed 🤣 rather than just on surface with conceive plus

was the cup easy to use? X

yes true I am looking for something to make sex easier .. although your point about EWCM is also i feel I am not getting enough .. thinking to try conceive plus once now that i have ordered it. Will let you guys khow how it goes.. wish me luck

It was easy to insert but I still have no clue if I used it right - as in could not tell if it flipped inside or not! But either way it would still help to push the goods up :) Welcome to message if you have any questions x

Compression Socks

Hey, for how long did everyone keep their compression socks on? I am also on blood thinning injections for 6weeks. Many thanks

Positive pregnancy test?!

So I have the coil but I am like 5-7 days late on my period. It usually comes pretty much the same time every month.

I did the bottom test yesterday and I forgot about it and came back to that.

I did a second test this morning (top one) and I can see a very faint positive line at the top.

I don’t really know how to take it, is it reliable? What do you all think? I don’t know if I feel ‘pregnant’

I will take another in a couple of days I just wanted to know other people’s thoughts

Ovulation?

Based on my tests, when do we think ovulation would have been most likely? Does it look more like the 17th or 18th (yesterday). I had a lot of egg white/stretchy CM on the 17th but was a lot drier by yesterday.

BBT

I had unprotected sex 2 day before my lh surge (I had a random late ovulation on CD 24). So obviously this wasn’t expected—I took plan B on Monday (54 ish hours after the act and on the day evening of my lh surge). My temp has been steadily rising the past 3 days—does that mean I ovulated or is this a plan B shift?

Also has anyone gotten pregnant 2 days before surge—I think I either ovulated late the night of my surge or very early the next day

What's going on?!?!

So I had spotting last month, Feb 19 to the 22nd and if it was a very light period.. which I've never had but im also breastfeeding. I should be somewhere a round getting my next period because I usually only have 23-27 day cycles. At most I've made it 28 days and by 29, I've missed my period. Today is cycle day 28 with the spotting. I've been taking ovulation tests since then and they have been light except the past few days. And today which I thought I would be getting some kind of bleeding/spotting and I've gotten an lh surge which is throwing me off. And I just tested lh again and its even darker. Would this be ovulation or early pregnancy or just my body being all over the place? I'll put the 1st Pic of ovulation from earlier with this post and post the most recent one which was just now in the comments..I need advice as this is the 1st time I've been able to breastfeed this long with my 2nd daughter.

Strong positive early on

I got a digital clear blue positive early on, 3 days before my period was due and consistently dark lines already on daily easy@home tests(period was due 2 days ago) without any symptoms (though I have had a head cold). When I previously had chemical pregnancies with weaker test results I did have nausea. Wondering if I can tell anything from this, eg does it point towards twins or anything like that?
