What worked for me...

I know everyone is different and by all means you don't have to try any of these things but I just thought I would share what worked for me...especially for the gals on Clomid.

  • I used natural progesterone cream in the 2ww twice a day
  • I drank red raspberry leaf tea 3 times a day in the 2ww
  • I took a B-6 every day in my 2ww in addition to my prenatals (helps level your hormones)
  • I took a baby aspirin every day starting before my 2ww (and still do). It helps thicken your lining.
  • I used preseed EVERY TIME we DTD....and I really swear by this stuff. It is true that Clomid dries you up...although I still got EWCM when I got my +OPK. The preseed just helps the sperm reach their final destination :-)

I think that is all...if I think of anything else I will let you know! Also I wanted to add...whether this actually helped or not I do not know...but I am pretty sure it did :-)

Is progesterone cream only by prescription?

No. I got it from a natural health store. That is where I got the progesterone cream, B6, and the red raspberry leaf tea.

Thanks for the tips... I wish more BFP came back and told us what they think had helped... I've been meaning to get that Pre-Seed, and now that I'm going into IVF I wish I had purchased it in the past!

I do have a question about the progesterone cream... why exactly did you start to use it?  Was it something to do with PCOS or especially b/c you knew there was an issue with your lining or something else like a short luteal phase????  I was just curious : )

I used it mainly because of my PCOS and I knew progesterone levels were low with PCOS...but I had also done a lot of research on it and knew that the extra progesterone would be good for the little egg regardless :-)

What is preseed?  A pill or a cream or something?  I start Clomid on Day 5 of my period, once I'm through with my 3 weeks of Premarin/5 days Progesterone.

Preseed is a sperm friendly lubricant.  You can buy it at CVS or online.
