Ferti-Lily - is it really worth the hype?

Hi Ladies..
SO, we have been TTC for just over 2 years.
I've my next fertility appt today - but anyways, I bought one of these today..
NOW, I am 'high' on my ovulation digital test, so expecting peak tomorrow-over the weekend... when do I use this?
Shall we use tonight, tomorrow, and sat+sun?
Whats the general consensus?

AND, how will I know if it's in far enough..
It sounds gross but I seem to leak a lot after - and wonder if it's normal, like I feel lots doesn't get in there... I do have a tilted cervix so this could be the issue?

Anyways, this thread - I wish i'd found sooner - but I am incredibly hopeful... I don't really know the rules are TTC, I've tried that SPME method.. is it best to try everyday? multiple times? I really don't know.. and If i get a positive peak ovulation in the AM, am I ok to be waiting for the evening to have sex?

Thanks!

Hii, just come across this thread.. I’ve just purchased a ferti lily to use this cycle, this will be cycle 7 of TTC DC2

Im on day 2 of flashing smiley so hoping for a static in next day or so, decided to give this a try along with pre seed as previously tried SMEP xx

Oh that’s amazing news! Congratulations!!! I think I’ll be quite anxious now If it hasn’t worked this time going into the 6 month mark. I’ve heard conceive plus lube is fab aswell so I used some of that too 🙌🏻

Congratulations! Feel so positive to hear such good news!

I got that one too @hcopp it has worked every time for me good luck!

Just bought a knock-off one from ebay ('y cup') for our first round of ttc #2. DS1 caught on cycle 9 last time, which was 2nd cycle using a mooncup for the same thing, so fingers crossed!

I was trying for 8 cycles after an MMC and nothing but BFN’s. Tried the fertilily for the first time on the 9th cycle and just got my BFP 😊 Obviously could have been a coincidence but I honestly do feel like it helped as kept everything up there!

we’ve only tried for 2-3 months so far, but already set my anxious level through the roof last 2 cycles (I’m over 35 btw) We both quite like the cup as I just like shouting pass me the plug after dtd 😂

ahhh yeah maybe I need to practise pulling it out better then thank you I’ll try that next time instead of panicking & yanking. Lol. How many months have you been trying to conceive for? I’m due on my period 11th Jan. wishing you lots of luck!

same, it’s my first time using the cup for this cycle! Definitely less leakage, you might pull it down a bit too hard, I feel it’s like a suction pad inside, when you pull, just pinch the bottom where two dots are, so it will get some air into the cup, then it’s much easier to pull it out. I use this cycle as practice for the cup, will see what happens, my ovulation period should finish today, good luck to both of us 🤞🏼

Hi! Quite new to this forum :) I’m currently on my 5th cycle TTC. This time I’ve used the fertilily cup for the first time. I got my first static smiley this morning, we have had sex everyday since Christmas Eve & will do it again tomorrow. Not sure if it’s ovulation pains or period like cramping from the cup, it felt fine once it was in but I’ve had cramping ever since I’ve took it out:( not sure if I’ve had it up too far or for too long or I’ve pulled it out too hard. But anyway I’ve heard good reviews so fingers crossed 🤞🏻 xx

Please can I ask how deep do you insert the fertilily cup up there? Bought one and can’t wait to try it this around . New to here, I’m turning 38, currently on cycle 4, and trying for our first one

@Amyjones86 thank you 💕

I leave it for 1 hour and then take it out. Good luck.

@Baw92 is it just fertility acupuncture ? i need to look into this definitely…

@Amyjones86 i got the fertility from boots but so far isn’t working for me, how long do you leave it in?

I bought a replica version from ebay to see how I got on. I compared it to my SILs Fertilily and it is exactly the same and only £8 something. It has worked every time for me since starting using it. Though I have recurrent miscarriage, 4 this year but I do think this helped me conceive having tried for nearly for years for my son!

I’ve been going weekly, it’s meant to encourage blood flow to the womb etc to support implantation and pregnancy. The other thing I did this cycle was relax a bit - so much easier than said I know after a loss but I tried to get stuck in at work, make plans a few months in advance that would involve drinking etc to look forward to.
the NHS do recommend acupuncture too though so it’s definitely not a fad x

I’ve been using the fertilily for 3 cycles now and no joy. I’ve looked at acupuncture - I’m interested - what does it actually do? How often do you go? @Baw92

Thank you. My loss was in May too. I’d recommend trying the ferti lily and acupuncture if you can. It’s the only thing I did different (as I started clomid the cycle before)

@Baw92 sorry that you were having difficulty, but congrats that you got there in 5 cycles 💕✨ that’s really an achievement I’m onto my 5th cycle just now after a loss in May and I feel like it’s never going to happen. 😭

Yes after 2 recent miscarriages ( and a third 10 years ago) I got some tests done. At a scan they said my ovaries looked polycystic- too many eggs - so I likely wasn’t releasing an egg every cycle and when I was it was probably underdeveloped

@baw92 May I ask what the reasons are if you starting clomid? Did you have tests done?

I tried for 4 months to conceive post miscarriage and no luck. I’ve just got a positive test after 5th cycle - the first one using the ferti lily. For transparency, it was also my second cycle on clomid and I started acupuncture on day 1 of this cycle too

Heya,

I searched this thread a few months ago when I was debating trying it.

Was ttc for 5 cycles and used fertilily on the last one three times. Got my BFP a few days ago. Not sure if it was help from the fertilily or just luck but I think it's worth the shot.

Wishing everyone on this thread lots of luck ☘ 😊

I also got BFP yesterday after using fertilily. This was my 3rd cycle of using it.

But I had used it previously and gotten pregnant. I had used it the 6 times your allowed to and it looked a bit worn and so coloured so said I’ll buy a new one incase. So bought a new one this month. Bingo! Pregnant 🥰

100% it helps me.

ttc 11 cycles in totally before until:
fertilily has helped me get pregnant
cycle 1 of using it (cycle 11) mmc
cycle 1 again - chemical
cycle 3 - this pregnancy 🤞🏼
