For any of you trying naturally was wondering what what your thoughts on pre-seed where and also how often you have sex during your fertile window? Baby dust book states every other day between day 8-16 but on both days 13/14 . What are your thoughts please x x

I’d be wiped out if I had that much sex 😂

I wait until my opks are starting to get a line, and have sex then, and I make sure i have sex the day of the surge too. The 2 times I actually conceived I only had sex the day before ovulation in each cycle! But I know they do recommend having more sex, we just can’t be bothered as much anymore. Life is just tiring!

I ovulate day 12, so you are best knowing your cycle well rather than concentrating on day 13 and 14. That’s fine if your cycles are perfect with a day 14 ovulation!

Oh also, I’ve tried pre-seed plenty of cycles. The 2 cycles I got pregnant naturally we hadn’t used it.

I am trying naturally!

You should ovulate between 10-16 days before your next expected period. If you look at your last few cycles you should be able to work it out; most women have a luteau phase of 12 days( ie between ovulation & next cycle)

Some fertility experts will say to try 2-3 x a week to cover yourselves but realistically not everyone wants to have sex that often!

I think providing you do the “deed” every other day around your fertile period you are pretty covered 👌🏻

I haven’t used pre seed but if you feel it might help go for it! I’m always up to trying different things to help fertility 🙂And it might make you feel better about trying , and that can only be a good thing.

Good luck this cycle xoxo

We’ve always been advised to just dtd every 2-3 days throughout the whole cycle. That’s my gp, gynaecologist and a fertility specialist. And we have used Pre-Seed. Be careful though, it’s messy 😂 xx

Hi Hopeful82. Have sex every 2-3 days throughout the whole cycle to hopefully reduce stress. Obviously you won’t fall pregnant at the beginning or towards the end of your cycle, but that doesn’t matter, as long as you have sperm waiting in your tubes continually to cover whenever you ovulate, that’s all that matters. Good luck! Diane

Our doctor said every 2-3 days throughout as much of the cycle as you can!! 🤪 As ovulation sticks are not super reliable for some people.

We used pre-seed and it took the pressure off when you had to just do the deed on key days and you weren't quite in the mood (tmi 🤣)

I’ve had two children naturally, one 29 years ago when I just had to look at a bloke (very young) and then 25 years later. Second one EVERY DAY my love for seven days around ovulation time, and that took us 11 months. Just make it fun 💕

Hi I only used it once as it’s a bit of a mood killer oooh wait til I fill the syringe & squirt it in. I tried doing it before not telling him then he didn’t want to do it so I was furious I’d wasted a squirt and was all gooy for nothing

We used conceive plus, not sure whether it worked or not but last time we used it I fell pregnant!

I have been using it for 4 months - agree. Bit of a mood killer ‘babe can you put the lid back on the tube while i put it in’. 🙈 sometimes i insert but other times just use it for the outside.

No luck as of yet, but i’m not convinced i’m producing enough cervical mucous so I think it helps. Good luck! x
