The Ferti-Lily

Hey,

So... this is month 24 of TTC and I've just invested in a ferti lily! 😂 it's last resort before turning to science!

So long story short, I have 2 DC from a previous relationship. I have been trying for 2 years for another as my new partner doesn't have any and obviously I would love another one. I have had all tests etc and I have been diagnosed with a blood disorder which hopefully will be sorted with Asprin. I have had 2 chemical pregnancies along the way.

DP has low mobility hence trying the ferti lily!

So my question is.. has anyone else been using this?

@Slomi Congratulations 😊 so glad someone has had their BFP and shared with us! Gives us all a bit of hope! I'm out for this month but hopefully next month 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Sydney1986x of course you can! How's this cycle going for you?

Thanks @Slomi and thanks for the advice, good idea about it being room temp!

@MummyT13 thank you! Sorry to hear AF got you! I am in the dreaded 2WW Sad 6DPO x

I got my period on Friday- was really pissed off actually as literally DTD every single day of FW and every day of solid smiley on clear blue

Oh well onto March Smile

SlothMamaToBe · 16/03/2021 17:45

Didn’t work for me either 😕. Also disappointed. Will give it a go again next month though .

Sydney1986x · 16/03/2021 18:27

AF arrived for me too 😖... onto the next month!

Marvellouslymadmum · 16/03/2021 19:12

Me too! Onward and upward ladies

Kitekat81 · 19/03/2021 09:54

Argh ladies I'm on cd12 and still haven't used the ferti-lily cup, and I got a positive opk this morning! 🤦‍♀️ Will have to try and use it today and tomorrow or I'll have missed my chance again. Trouble is I seem to have lost the instructions! 🙈 There seems to be quite a lot of info on the website about how to insert it, but it doesn't say how to clean it. Do you just rinse it with hot water, or do I need to boil it again between uses?

Marvellouslymadmum · 19/03/2021 14:10

@Kitekat81 you don't have to boil it again, just wash it with warm water making sure to clean the little holes so they don't get clogged. It's pretty straightforward once you've done it a couple of times

Kitekat81 · 19/03/2021 17:31

Thanks @Marvellouslymadmum! I used it for the first time today, no idea if I did it right but I just shoved it up there and hoping for the best. Are you supposed to feel your cervix when you are pushing it up there? I felt like I was shoving it up into the great unknown 😳

Marvellouslymadmum · 19/03/2021 17:40

@Kitekat81 😂😂 I've got no hope of reaching mine lol I've tiny hands and short fingers so it's poked as far as I can poke and hope for the best the same as you!

Kitekat81 · 19/03/2021 17:59

@Marvellouslymadmum lol I'm glad it's not just me! 🤣🤣🤣 Well I just took it out for the first time, came flying out and landed in the toilet, so I think I might be boiling it before next use after all 🤣🤣🤣

Marvellouslymadmum · 19/03/2021 19:35

@Kitekat81 😂 yes maybe that's a good idea! Mine sometimes doesn't want to leave and suctions itself to me 😳🤦🏼‍♀️

Kitekat81 · 19/03/2021 21:52

@Marvellouslymadmum crikey! 😂 I'm sure I'm going to have a few more adventures with this thing before I get the hang of it 😄

Marvellouslymadmum · 19/03/2021 23:30

@Kitekat81 oh yes it's all fun and games 😂

@hels301990 @Chica1990 @Kitekat81 @WrongendoftheSTIX @SlothMamaToBe @SlothMamaToBe @Jazzabella @truetuesdays @Marvellouslymadmum @Slomi @Sydney1986x

How are we all doing ladies? I'm on the 2nd day of my solid smiley today. Only DTD yesterday and will do again tomorrow as OH sperm have low motility so from looking at his samples we have a better chance holding off on DTD until ovulation. I did use the fertilily! It's like a proper little plunger 🪠 when you get it up far enough 😂!

@Slomi hows the pregnancy going?

Sydney1986x · 26/03/2021 08:26

Morning, I am on CD11 and booked in for a hycosy today so not tried yet this month. I usually ovulate CD17 but will see what consultant thinks today.

Yes the ferti-lily is def like a plunger, hate the noise is makes coming out 🥴😂

Marvellouslymadmum · 26/03/2021 09:00

@MummyT13 I am cd12 and had flashy smoky yesterday so dtd with fertility-lily thinking we had a few days then got my static today! So should ov tomorrow will probably not dtd today as we are suspecting mfi too and then bd tomorrow and 🤞🏻🤞🏻it's definitely like a plunger 🪠 😂😂 doesn't always want to come out! 😳

Kitekat81 · 26/03/2021 13:11

@MummyT13 I'm 5/6 dpo, used the ferti-lily twice in fw. Honestly felt more like I was just stirring things up, rather than pushing or holding things up there 🙈😂

Marvellouslymadmum · 26/03/2021 16:03

@Kitekat81 I felt like that yesterday as it just didn't want to go in straight 😂

dogmam · 26/03/2021 16:48

Hi! I'm thinking about getting a ferti-lilly before possible starting IVF.

Where did you get it from? Just amazon or boots?

Marvellouslymadmum · 26/03/2021 17:15

@dogmam I got mine from boots, they're pretty quick at sending or you can do click and collect to a store

Twinkle1989 · 26/03/2021 17:58

Hey - sorry to jump on this post.

Just to let you ladies know, I was TTC for 1 month without success, then used the Fertilily for the second - used it twice and fell pregnant ♥️

Again, may be coincidence but good luck with your journeys ♥️

WrongendoftheSTIX · 26/03/2021 18:45

Hi, I'm one day late but negative first response so just a waiting game.

PurpleUnicorn01 · 31/03/2021 15:59

Hi guys! I hope you're all well.

I literally just ordered one off Amazon, I was 50/50 but OH has a low motility so thought might as well whilst waiting for ivf.

Will give it ago this month. Let's see! Im not being too optimistic.

Sydney1986x · 31/03/2021 16:13

Good luck @PurpleUnicorn01 I am using throughout this fertile window and will report back. Will be the 3rd cycle using it although 1st cycle hasn’t quite got the hang of it..
