Clomid, SoftCups & PreSeed got me a BFP!!!!

[Coco14]

Coco14 - I found out about PreSeed from the wonderful ladies on this site. Its a "sperm friendly" lubricant. It creates the best possible environment for the spermies. I have a problem with vaginal ph imbalances and I feel that it really helped us. If you live outside of the US I believe you can get the same type of lubricant but different brand, I think it's called Conceive Plus.
You can get Softcups at WalMart and I think CVS and Walgreens but you can also order them online. I went to the website and ordered a sample pack that had 2 in it. We only used one. Its similar to the shape of a diaphragm. You slide it in after BD and it holds the sperm right up by the cervix. I left mine in for almost 12hrs and that was the last time we had BD'd during my fertile period. So I am a firm believer in those products!!!

SarahinCanada - I had some pretty bad visual effects during the first month. Not really blurred vision but it felt more like someone spun me around real fast and then when I stopped my eyes were trying to adjust. Thats the best way I can describe it. It got worse when I was in bright lights or in the sunlight. But this cycle I didn't have any side effects from it. The visual effects the first cycle lasted maybe a week. It started after my second dose (i think) and last about a week. I am also a strong believer in this medication though. I don't think I would have gotten pregnant without it!!!!

Thank you ladies for the congrats!!! It's so wonderful to know you've got people cheering you on.
I'll keep my FX for BFPs for all of you too!!!!

Thank you, I think I will have to get the preseed as clomid made me dry.
I didn't realise that keeping the 'sperm' in that long really made a difference, I usually leave it a little while then go to the toilet :S

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!
RNMOMMY I'M SOOOOO EXCITed for you!!!!!!!
I was just doing my regular check up on bnb and saw this.
I'm only on 5dpo right now and the timing this month wasn't exactly perfect (my dh went to see his family during fertile time but.... my O was delayed and he came home two days early=dtd on O day and a week prior) BUT my temps are higher than they ever have been and I've been having af type cramps since O day. Not sure if its a good sign but I'm trying to be hopeful : )
YAYYYYYY I'm SOOOO HAPPY FOR YOU AGAIN! Hopefully we can be bump buddies!!!

[pambolina21]

RN...your in the US right? Cause I think the CB tests with indicator are only sold in the UK...you might be able to buy one online though!

 

[CaliGirl35]

Hey Rn- also wanted to ask.. When was AF actually due for you?
I know you got your super awesome BFP at 10dpo.. but was wondering how many days that was before af was due for you?

 

[daydreaming22]

CONGRATS!!!!! Wishing you a h&h nine mos.

 

[RNmommy]

Cali - Im not quite sure when AF would be due. My last cycle was 31 days and I O'd on CD18. This cycle I O'd on CD 16. So Im guessing if my luteal phase stayed the same then I'd be due for AF tomorrow. (Is that right? I didn't exactly do the math....LOL)
So I got my BFP pretty early, and a really strong one at that. I just took an FRER and the test line was just about as dark as the control. YAY!!!!!

Pambolina - Yeah, Im in the US. I guess that explains it...LOL!
Im gonna call tomorrow and make a doc appt to get my levels checked anyways. So, I guess I'll just see what it says. But Im sure its going up like its supposed to. Test lines are way dark and Im only 12DPO.
Have you done any more tests???

Mindy - That was TOO funny.... Thank you hun!

 

[mindyb85]

oh your welcome rn lol
I hope mine's around the corner, I just got an either terrible pink evap on frer or early early beginnings of bfp (maybe) Fx'd

 

[pink23]

congratulatons x

 

[RNmommy]

Today's Test!!!
12DPO

(Big change from yesterday's test! And I only held my wee for about an hour!)

 

[RNmommy]

Took a blue dye yesterday just for the fun of it. I figured being I already knew I was preggers, I wouldn't let the lines drive me crazy. LOL!
I have to say, with the dark lines I was getting on the pink dye, I was surprised that the blue dye was so light. But it was a fun experiment.
