February 2013 Testers + clomid/ Femara

[Hopin4ABump]

Yeah I know what you mean. You always want to do everything in your power to make a a sticky one. I still want you to get yours though I still believe this month is going to be a magical one for all of you ladies!

LOL! I'm going to temp this time too, well once I can. I know my body will be out of whack for a while. I think that is so frustrating. You go from being pregnant to not being able to try to get pregnant for like a month! Ugh.

 

[Beautifullei2]

What an up and down emotional past few days for our threadbuddies.

Seems like forever since last month, finally Oing today! I hope we caught that eggy and now begins the 2ww...

YES very up & down but with eachother it helps ease all our ups & downs

Be sure & let me know when you will be testing! Gld

 

[Hopin4ABump]

:wave: lune, are you using opk's or temping? GL to you, hope this is your month!

 

[Beautifullei2]

I really need to get into the swing of temping again.. being off for 2 months really has me being lazy about it. Im reading up on things trying to see what else I can add to the mix.

 

[Hopin4ABump]

Share what you find! I wanna be uber prepared whenever I can get back in the swing of things.

Most of the stuff I am finding is stuff majority of us already know =/ NO lubricants, NO smoking, No drinking, Lower caffeine intake. blah blah blah lol!

MUCINEX I did read on another thread that mucinex helps thin the CM & has helped some women conceive. I tried it one cycle but I didnt start it until 2 days before O... I think they say to start it 5 days before O & then stop taking the day you O.

ILL add more once I find more

Co-enzyme Q10

This famous antioxidant has been shown to improve egg quality, predominantly in older women, helping them to become more fertile. Antioxidants are beneficial in neutralizing free radicals, which may destroy the integrity of the egg or the sperm. In this way, Co-enzyme Q10 also helps men with certain types of infertility. And the great benefit is that it will improve your hair and skin as well as your overall health.


Astragalus

Astralagus is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb that is an adaptogen, meaning that it protects the body against various disorders. Besides supporting the healthy immune function, astragalus also improves sperm count, and enhances the chances of pregnancy.


Saw Palmetto

Saw Palmetto increases women’s fertile age and helps men have stronger hormones. It also fights against prostate cancer and reduces hair loss.

Im def. going to do mucinex again!!!! I was reading alot more on it right now & I am going to give it a go. If I can get my cm ready for those swimmer maybe more will be waiting when my egg is released. I must say I am already starting to feel things churning in there.. DANG 7.5 MG ;-)

LUNE- I LOVE preseed!!! The first time I tried it though we used to much lol.. whoops! Talk abotu slippery

 

[Hopin4ABump]

Lei, how do you know when you are 5 days pre-o, for the Mucinex?? Sorry if I sound like a dummie.

Also, with preseed, do you only use this if you need lube? Sorry if that's TMI, but does it have any benefit aside from being sperm-friendly unlike KY?

 

[Beautifullei2]

I usually O around the 14th so I would start mine on CD10. If you have a general idea of when You O then use that to help determine when to start it.

As for the preseed we used it because it helps the swimmers live longer.. it didnt hurt the guys so why not

 

[lune_miel]

I've read mixed reviews for Preseed. Some are convinced it helped them get their BFP so I figured it was worth a shot, esp since Clomid can make EWCM non-existent.

They had a big study on walnuts not long ago and found it improves sperm quality. I had DH eat them at work everyday about a month or so before we got our BFP....no sure that did anything, but who knows!!!

Here is the study:
