What have you tried?

What kind of 'over-the-counter' type IF treatments have you tried? i.e. pre-seed, herbal, diet changes, etc.

I was just wondering, my mom keeps trying to get me to buy herbal stuff, but I really don't want to waste money on something that does not work. We tried Pre-seed for 2 months and actually got PG the 2nd month (early m/c) but we have not tried it since...Do you think it helped?

Well I am just up late and a little bored...DH had to work tonight sooooo here I sit at the computer...


Anyway so tell me what not to try (or what to try) so that I am not on here is a few months saying "I wish someone had told me not to spend so much money on....(magic beans)"

ashcas, I am interested in the answer to your question, too. I am so hesitant to spend money on something that may harm our chances, rather than help them.

I can tell you that I tried Rubitussin (sp?) for many months, but it was not helpful for me. I bought Pre-seed this month, but we didn't use it since we ended up taking the month off. I guess we'll see next month.

Hello, I have a question for any of you. What is Pre-seed? Is it herbs for a tea? Where would one go out and buy it?

Ashcas, you say you got pregnant on your second month while taking pre-seed. Was it your first time getting pregnant? I am curious to know if you attribute it to the preseed? I am sorry to hear about the m/c, but if you got pregnant once on it don't you think it will get you pregnant again and maybe produce a full term pregnancy.

cally, Pre-seed is a sperm friendly lubricant. I got it online, I don't remember where.

Yes it was our first time getting PG. I really don't know why we haven't used it again. I guess I have just not been emotionally ready and on top of that I keep forgetting.
I don't know if it helped or not. I guess that is another reason that we have not used it, What If we use it and don't get PG??

cally123, I hear ya, girl! We have never conceived either so we'd be willing to stand on our heads if we thought it would work!

ashcas, I'm afraid that I will probably forget to use the Pre-seed, too. I had to store it with my OPTs so that I won't forget next month!

things I've tried

Hi girls,

Like many of you, I'm on line reading about my favorite topic...HAVING A BABY!

I've been on the Laparoscopy boards for the past few weeks. I had my surgery 9 days ago and my dr. lasered off the endo he found on one of my ovaries. Yeah.

My husband and I have been trying 11 months now and I'm 36 this month. We have had Pre Seed since December when we learned that lubrication was hurting our opportunities to get pregnant.

If you google the words Pre Seed and coupon, you'll find one site that sells it at a great price and includes a few pregnancy tests along with it! Much less than the price we spent when we ordered directly at the Pre Seed site.

I did try baby aspirin around the time of ovulation for a month or two and it didn't help.

Any other ideas ladies?

Take care,

Heather

heather, I think that is the same site I got mine, the early pg tests site. I like anything with free shipping

If it is did you see the packs they have that come with opk and hpts? I thought about getting them but I don't know how well they would work (not a name brand?). as little as they costs I thought I might give it a shot with my next order of pre-seed.

ashcas, I got the free hpts with the Pre-seed from early pt tests. I think they are weird. You have to pee in a cup and then stick the test in the cup.
