Hi Ladies! Just checking in to see how the PreSeed Girls were doing! Hope everyone in the US survived Thanksgiving and that EVERYONE is doing well. Lots of to you! I'm still too early to do anything so I am in ANOTHER TWW!!! I won't get to see a Dr. till I'm 7-9 weeks. For the new girls using PreSeed I still believe that helped get preggars...Don't give up!!! Something else I did this cycle was Vitamin E which helps with the endometrium build up and also circulation. I stopped taking it as soon as I got my cuz it can cause M/C too after preggars. I don't know if that was it, but it was something that I was doing differently. Plus, we just really timed it well this cycle too! After a BD session my OH said "that was the one, I just know it" and it was ! I know all the girls will get their 's and I will keep everything (yes everything) crossed for you all that you get your 's very soon!!

Congrats girly ahhh. How long were you ttc?

hi

so i have a question - or maybe it's more a statement. it's a bit graphic.

the thought of trying to feel my cervix scares me - i wouldn't know how or what to feel for. also... and this might sound dumb - but if DH's <you know what> can fit there and it's longer than my finger, how am i meant to feel for it?

ok so that was Way TMI but it's a genuine confusion, so if anyone can explain, please do so!!!

I was the same! but now it's just second nature, i do it in the morning after i temp as the position can change throughout the day. Just use your index and middle finger (make sure u cut your nails!) and while squatting/ leg up same as putting in a tampon position is easiest, feel up as far as you can go and this is your cervix! if your fertile it's high and soft like the texture of your tounge and you may find it hard to reach, if not fertile it's lower and firmer feels like tip of your nose, u may also feel a little 'opening' and that changes too from open to closed! also as you take your fingers out you will notice the cervical mucus on your fingers and that is also really helpful with telling if ur fertile/not! it's all a bit confusing! theres a lot of helpful stuff on Fertility Friend.

Hope this helps!

Morning all!!

Well i got my crosshairs and they're solid line crosshairs too, and FF says i OV'd a day earlier than i thought i did AND my intercourse timing analyzer says . . . . HIGH!! We've only ever got 'good' before. I really hope this one sticks

Whoar Joycie - I just looked at your chart - it looks amazing. You got all the signs - EWCM, and your pos OPK was at exactly the right time, and you BD'd 3 times in the 3 most fertile period! I will certainly be *stalking* your chart over the next 10 days - sooooooo exciting... i'm taking baby aspirin because the problem is with the bean sticking for me - not sure if that is one of your difficulties or not?

good luuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!!!

 

[mammawannabe]

WOW joycie....FX for you that this is it!!! Thats great!

I'm hoping to have another bd session today and tomm...and that should cover most of my high/peak days on the monitor! Really hoping we get that sticky bean before xmas!!

Hi LondonGirl,
I was in the last preseed thread and took a break when I got af. I did use preseed again this month as well as ovulation tests. I thought I was out of luck as I never got a positive ovulation test, but low and behold I got my bfp Friday! This was my 8th month trying and my 2nd month using preeseed and it sure did work!

 

[Andersen1010]

This is so refreshing to read!!! Just bought preseed yesterday and so happy to read all of the success stories!!!

4 months ttc, 5 yrs npnt, 1st month with preseed... Excited and Anxious for the cycle!! **fingers crossed** for BFP by xmas eve!! for all!!

 

[RNTTC2011]

Congrats girly ahhh. How long were you ttc?

We were trying for about 6 months and ntnp for about 5 months. I think part of it was because I was on bcp for 20 years so it took my body a bit to adjust to its real hormone levels. If this cycle didn't work I would have been referred to fertility specialists due to my age.

 

[Sunshine baby]

Hi all, good luck everyone! I'm due to O in the next couple of days so me and DH are trying to get a whole lotta bow chica wow wow in these next few days. I have a short LP but have taken B vits and agnus castus this month in addition to a multivit and folic. Been using pre seed too, although today I actually had EWCM which I haven't in previous cycles so hope this is the lucky cycle for us!

FX for all of you! It makes me so happy when I see people's status change from ttc to pregnant!!

I know it's quite exciting. But that's the thing isn't it, my progesterone may be too low for anything to stick, but that's assuming that the little eggy has been fertilised in the first place, which we don't really know do we.
I've heard some good things about baby aspirin, so FX'd it'll work.

I think i'm going to load myslef up next cycle if this one's not successful, VitB, Agnus Castus, VitE, Evening Primrose . . . and slipping DH some 'Wellman' too

 

[Sparkle12]

Hi all, good to hear how people are getting on.

1st cycle using preseed for us. I haven't had a proper positive on OPKs but hubby only here at weekends so going for it!!! It should be round about now.

Did break my toe this morning!!! - Not going to let that put me off DH goes again in the morning for another week, besides it might take my mind off the pain for a while (sorry TMI)

Really do hope it workd for us and all you lovely ldies. We need some more 's to hit LondonGirls target!!!!!
Fairy dust and strong swimmers to all

 

[londongirl]

Yay littlenibble!!!!

 

[mommytobe11]

so i just did the math and my bfp will be due ON christmas eve! ahhh! so much pressure! it'll either be the best christmas i've ever had or the most miserable.

 

[Soon2Bee]

I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. I was in a cabin out in the woods with out cell phone or internet. Stone age Just got all caught up with everyone. Yeah to all the BFP's. I am so sorry to hear about all of the AF's.

Mommytobe11 - I am sending you as much baby dust as possible. What an amazing xmas gift that could be.

I am now on CDK 12. No pos. opk yet. Usually on day 15. We will be using the preseed again this month. This will be month two. The DH and I are anxiously waiting for lab results. My DH went in to get tested. Hopefully the numbers are good. I hate the waiting game. Knowledge is power, once we know he is ok (or not) we can move forward. Not sure if I have mentioned it yet or not, but he had an injury to his scrotum as a kid.

A quick question: Do you count the months of NTNP as part of TTC??

thank you!

a cabin in the woods?? that sounds like fun!!

good luck this cycle! you're right, the not knowing is the worst so better he gets tested and you can know for sure the steps you need to take. i'm sure nothing is wrong though, and you can continue happily TTC.

i dont count NTNP as TTC, but thats just me.

 

[Bug222]

Congratulations littlenibble!!!

Joycie- Your chart looks really good!! Fx'd you catch that little eggy and hold on tight! Have you talked to your Dr about progesterone supps or cream at all?

 

[JoycieB]

Ooooh how lovely, i hope mother nature gives you a nice Christmas present.
I think it works out for us (if this cycle is unsuccessful) that i should be OVing around Christmas Eve, could be a fun Christmas for all

Thanks,

I've tried but he can't pescribe me anything until they know exactly what's causing my low progesterone, and they can't find that out till i have a scan, and they can't send me for a scan all the while that my BMI is over 30 because that's the required range for 'fertility Treatment' even though i don't want Fertility Treatment, i just want to find out why my body isn't working the way it's should and if it's something that can be easily remedied now or if its something that requires me and DH putting it off for a few years and approaching it again at some other point.
(sorry it got a bit rambly, you might be able to tell this is something that's been a bit of a bone of contention with me)
