Concieve plus, pre seed, anyone tries these?

Hi everyone, I'm currently TTC baby no 2, AF just arrived yesterday so this will be the beginning of my 4th cycle of trying! Month 1 we just went with the flow dtd as much as possible and no luck, month 2 we used the clearblue OPK's, still no luck, and this month we just went with the flow again, I took evening primrose oil to try and boost my egg white CM (didn't really work) and still not pregnant so looking to try a new strategy next month. We are thinking of following the sperm meets egg plan along with the use of fertility lubes like concieve plus or pre seed. Anyone used these before? Would you reccomend them? Could my pretty much none existent egg white CM be the reason I haven't conceived yet? Also this month I got my period 5 days early so my usual 33 day cycle is now 28 days? And I had some spotting 3 or 4 days before full on AF started (thought it was IB then had my hopes dashed when I started full on bleeding last night) could the evening primrose oil have shortened my cycle? Could that have been the reason for all the weird spotting? Let me know, thanks ladies x

Also I know for some people 4 months barely is a drop in the ocean in their entire ttc journey and some people try for years, and I know it can take a healthy couple up to a year to concieve, but I am just so confused and frustrated as to why this hasn't happened yet? I am only 25 got pregnant in the first month of trying with my daughter and had a miscarriage early on in the year when we weren't even trying, in fact I took the morning after pill and still ended up pregnant?! So why isn't this happening for me now? I'm desperately just looking for answers because I just don't get why my body is failing me now?

I am in the same position, many people on here will say anything less than a year is nothing but god it’s tough isn’t it.

I’m 25 like you and am on my 7th cycle (MCd 3rd cycle), you think, I’m young fit and healthy what am I not doing?!

FYI the cycle I used Conceive Plus I got pregnant (MCd) didn’t use it since and had nothing but BFNs. Well this cycle I have used Conceive Plus again so fingers crossed! I never have EWCM just watery at best and I worry too that’s been my issue.

Keep pushing on and GL xx

I know it's easier to say when you're not going through it but it really isn't that long in the grand scheme of things, try not beating yourself up.

We used preseed and the first month we used it I got pregnant. Might be a total fluke but I'd recommend it.

Good luck xx
