Hi Ladies

Ahurani - I have very little to no EWCM on clomid. It is very common for clomid to dry it up so to speak. I used to use pre seed sperm friendly lubricant when I got a + OPK. Others have used green tea to help CM. I'll be using the pre seed agin next cycle when I start clomid again. I too have heard of taking Robitussin. Actually i read something about cough syrup. There are other ones you can use but you have to get one without a certain ingredient. I'll see if I can find the info again.

[Hope!]

Ok, I am going to ask a bit of a silly question and I really cant believe I am about to ask this. You are all talking about no EWCM and I am in that category. Some of you have had suggestions on how to, I guess, Fix the prob. Now my question is, with the green tea and the cough syrup, do you drink it as normal or do you use it in a different way? So sorry for this question.

I cant remember if it was bec or Porsche that said they used a pre seed sperm friendly lubricant, where did you get this from?

Porshe: I only just realised that you m/c last month. I am so sorry for your loss. Heres to the future bringing you a better outcome.

Linda5: GL with the progesterone levels, lets hope that the levels are sky high. The waiting game is so painful isnt it.

Bec: How did your play go?

Hello to everyone else. for those of us in the TWW and also to those of us who are trying to catch that egg.

AFM: Nothing to tell here at the moment except I get my BT results tomorrow for my cd21 progesterone.

Thanks girls... makes me feel a bit better IYKWIM to know that it's somewhat normal...

Hope, as far as I'm aware, you drink it as normal...

If you Google pre-seed, you'll find a website that delievers it. Where abouts in QLD are you? I know if you go to the Pre-seed site there are a list of Chemist's that stock it, although not many have it.

Ok, I have another weird Q for you all and I'll apologise first for TMI... While I had very little EWCM, I was still *ahem* wet enough to DTD without my pre-seed... should I have used pre-seed? Does it actually assist in getting the spermies 'up' there or is it just sperm friendly (ie, doesn't kill the boys like normal lubricants)??

Ahhhh, what a way to start the day

Thanks again

Morning Elocin,

As far as I’m aware, if you are wet enough (so to speak) to DTD then don’t use anything, nothing is better than your own natural lubricant. But if you need to use something then pre-seed is the way to go. This is what I was always told anyway, even though this is not what the packet says.

Hope that helps a little.

PS: Thanks for the giggle hope, totally know what you mean though cos the weird and wacky things people tell us to do can be quite odd sometimes. At the end of the day if someone told us to rub banana into our skin, we’d do it. Yes drinking it’s the way to go, don’t know why it helps but apparently it does.

Babydust to all
Xxoo

Elocin- I'm in the same boat- used to have very good levels of EWCM but with clomid it just disappeared! Even DH noticed and asked me about it . If you can still DTD then I wouldn't use pe-seed, we had problems with pain and chaffing so I was using a conception friendly lubricant (can't remember the name) It seems annoying that the clomid increases our ovulations but then reduces the way for the sperm to get to them!

Linda- anything over about 15 means you have ovulated so 44 is a good result, you can ring your doctor and ask him/her to explain to you

Kelly- rubbing banana into the skin sounds easier than what we all do lol, I wish that was all i had to do to get preg hehe! Any news on twins? I used to dread having twins, now staring down the barrel of turning 38 I would love twins!

Hope- good luck with the BT today, hope its good levels x

Bec- shame about those side effects but I hope you O on time x

RhiChiChi-hi how are you going?

Porsche-how are you going on your TWW? Any promising signs?

Hi to everyone else I hav missed, hope you are all going well!

AFM-had a big depression yesterday, I think I've got pmt, cried all the way to work so had to fix up my face when I got there, then when I got home had a fight with DH because I asked him to do one little thing for our mortgage application and he didn't do it of course. I feel like i am doing everything for that and for the ivf application and he just acts like none of it is his business GRRRRR!!! He's apologosed but is still not in the good books with me
