The Ferti-Lily

[MummyT13]

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?

@Chica1990 @suzy124 @SLCxxx the picture shows 9DPO, 10DPO AND 11 DPO All FMU.

I've had too many chemicals an miscarriages 😔 x

@MummyT13 today’s is darker than yesterday’s hun. I really hope this is the one for you xx

@MummyT13 looking at the first and last day there is a difference which is when the hcg would have doubled. I had constant period pains for about 3 weeks when I had my bfp and intermittently until 13 weeks (am now 21)

I really hope this is the one for you. Do you mind me asking if you had cramps when you were pregnant with your previous losses?

@MummyT13 I definitely see progression in those pics please try not to Worry!

@SLCxxx I agree totally 😂 deffo a plunger

Top was yesterday and bottom was today. Feeling exhausted now 😥 x

@MummyT13 oh I'm sorry it doesn't look good, so disheartening 😞

@MummyT13 I'm so sorry. Sending you the biggest hug and holding out every hope ❤️ xx

@MummyT13 I’m so sorry, just doesn’t seem fair. I still have all my fingers and toes crossed for you xx

Keeping my fingers crossed for you still, hope you’re ok xxxx

@MummyT13 thinking of you 💕

@MummyT13 really hope you're ok. We're here for you if your feel like talking xxx

Hey everyone how are all you ferti lily buddies doing?

After my chemical last month I’m now on CD18 and due to OV tomorrow which is pretty late for me as I normally ov on CD 14.

2.2 cups of raspberry leaf tea a day until ovulation

3.Pregnacare supplements, Vitamin D.

4.Evening Primrose Oil until OV

5.Husband is taking, vitamin C, well man conception for him, zinc magnesium and calcium, D aspartic acid, fenugreek and Vitamin D.

6.DTD every 2 days after AF has left until I get high then every other day until I get a peak then we’ll do 2 days in a row.

7.Using the ferti-lily cup and keeping it in for 2-3 hours then on peak days sleeping with it in.

8.Using concieve+

9.Wearing socks after DTD.

10.Cutting out the alcohol,Eating well,being active. Reducing stress.

11. Tracking OV with CB connected sticks and Easy@Home strips.

Hi
Just wondering, are you all leaving it in overnight? It says 1 hr on the instructions...
I tried to leave mine in last night but kept waking up after dreaming about taking it out 😂😂

@Applecrumble24 hey yes I left it in last night I did wake up for a wee and thought I’d take it out but didn’t bother. Now one thing I noticed was that there wasn’t much sperm in it I don’t know if it kid of escaped or if it’s gone up there and now I’ll end up with octuplets 🙈

@MrsBirds sounds similar to my list though I have more suppliments and drink Pom juice, grapefruit juice and eating pineapple and Brazil nuts too lol

@Applecrumble24 I've left mine in before if it's at night

@MrsBirds haha imagine 😳😳

Hmm OK perhaps I'll try and leave it in tonight! Thanks ladies

@MrsBirds hopefully you have the tight combination and this is your lucky month 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Applecrumble24 I’ve tried to leave it in all night but like you I also would wake myself up dreaming about taking it our 🤣 but I always leave it more than 2 hours or I worry I’m sucking the sperm back out when I try to detach the thing 🤣

@Marvellouslymadmum how you feeling? Where are you in your cycle? I’m 8DPO and am cramping like mad so maybe I’m going to come on early 🤦🏼‍♀️

@MummyT13 I hope your okay 💕

So I managed to leave it in all night but the bloody thing was stuck to me, I had to pinch it together and release the suction only for it to fling out across the bathroom, flicking sperm as it went 😂😂

@Applecrumble24 omg 😂😂😂

That made my morning 🤣🤣

@SLCxxx I'm a bit relaxed this cycle, had my smear yesterday and oh has his SA tomorrow so we have to abstain, I'm in my fw but not Ov yet and I'm hoping it won't be until Friday/Saturday so we don't miss it completely! I've also been told twice now that my cervix is sideways so I'm not entirely sure the fertilily will actually work! I may be attaching it to the side of it rather than the entrance where it needs to be 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Applecrumble24 😂😂 mine suctions right in and I struggle to reach it to pinch lol

@Applecrumble24 oh dear hahah 🤣 that’s something I should have mentioned. I thought it was just that my husband had pushed it up a bit to far up but I had the same problem luckily I was knee up over the toilet and the sperm fell into the toilet. 🙈

Haha 😄
The things we share with strangers on the Internet when ttc!

Sorry to jump in on this chat. I am trying the fertilily for the first time. I feel like I've tried EVERYTHING (apart from vaginal steaming) and really hoping this can help. Never had a chemical, mc or any positive in any way despite being told that there's nothing obvious wrong with me (getting referred in July for proper tests and scans) and DH has above average SA results. Feeling very helpless and want to give up but obviously don't want to either. Anyone got any tips for how to put it in after action? I've tried it without any sex and found it tricky to do and I don't think I put it up far enough but I am sure I managed to flip it easily (I use that word loosely). We have tried preseed and conceive plus for a few months and prefer preseed. Do people prefer to put a little on the fertilily itself before putting it in? Does it help? Open to anything and everything! PS don't trust DH to put it in. He struggles to put himself in nevermind this thing! 😂

@Loops01 hi and welcome to the chat, i jumped on this thread last month and the support has been so good. Sorry to hear about your issues hopefully this will work/all goes well for you referral in July.

I shared a thread a bit further up on what I’m doing this month if it helps.

I started using the fertilily cup during my low days and kept it in for an hour then for around 2-3 hours on my high days and overnight on peak days.

To get it in I tend to wash it in warm water, put fertility lube in it and on the rim and flip it then leave it on the side. Once we’ve BD my husband inserts it and I pull the cord to secure it in place.

The longer you keep it in the harder it can be to get it out so just pre warning you 🙈
