    OMG everybody if u are ttc and havent tried preseed get ur hands onto some! I am one of the success stories.. i also have a friend who hasnt been on any contraception for 3 yrs but only started tracking her cycles 6 months ago.. so trying but not trying for 3.5 yrs IYKWIM and has never fallen pg.. UNTIL she tried out preseed and she is now 6 weeks pg! Its amazing!! My dh jokes that it has someone elses swimmers in it..
    Here is the link.. i highly recommend it! Read some of the users stories too! Pre-seed personal lubricant. "Fertility-Friendly" Sperm safe personal lubricant, sperm friendly personal lubricant. Pre-seed conception lubricant. Oh and u dont only need it if u have.. um.. dryness issues.. (tmi!) i have never had a problem in that department.. apparently it just mimics the womans natural ewcm and helps the little sperms swim to the egg.

    Now to answer ur questions Mum2onesweetbun!

    I used clomid for 5 cycles.. the first cycle tho my gyno didnt make it too clear as to when i wld O or anything so we missed it! Clomid can give u false +ives on opks if u test too close to finishing the last pill.. i did this and assumed i was Oing. So the fact that it didnt work wasnt clomids fault, we conceived on the 2nd cycle.. but sadly it ended in m/c.. i waited 10 weeks to get af after the m/c.. had a bt and it showed that my progesterone was too low so af was definitely not coming (was VERY frustrating seeing as tho i wanted to start ttc straight away!) had to take provera to bring af on.. it really messed me around tho.. my gyno said i might only bleed for a couple days.. which i did.. so assumed it was af, waited til day 5 and started on the clomid, i did a big drive to get to dh for O time.. he was working 500ks away at the time.. and guess what! My real af decided to show up when i shld have been O'ing! Bugger! So that was another wasted cycle on clomid! The 4th cycle was unsuccessful but luckily the 5th cycle worked!! Which was great cos i was a bit hesitant in taking it for more then 5 cycles.
    So really i believe it was only unsuccessful once, i conceived twice and 2 of the cycles were a waste of time!

    I never got any of the symptoms thank goodness.. i had one emotional month but im not sure if it was clomid related or not. Around O time i got very tender and alot of pain around my lower pelvic area.. but i just imagined that it was from my ovaries getting that big juicy egg ready! Bding in certain positions was very painful too.. I cldnt let dh do any deep penetration positions. I havent actually heard of anyone else having this problem tho.

    Anyway sorry for the long ramble.. i hope something in this long essay helps u or someone else!

    Sorry one last thing! Have u had a bt to see what ur progesterone levels are doing?? Maybe ask to get one if u havent.. it cld show that af is on its way so u wldnt have to take provera.

    Wishing u the best of luck!!! x
