    hey keli

    if it puts your mind at rest it is pretty common to get brownish spotting, this is apparently old blood. try not to stress about it - i know easier said than done

    i have had a quiet weeked here.. spent lots of time at the park with the kids
    Ahurani i havent noticed that kind of pain.

    has any one noticed a correlation between hotflushes/definate clomid related side effects finishing and O?

    i am day 17 so 8days since last clomid tablet, and still experienceing hotflushes... but not as many, so i was thinking maybe they will stop when i O?

    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.

    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
