Anyone have experience with Fertile CM Supplement?

benicode

I've used this occasionally when TTC this time and previously, but not consistently nor 3 times a day as the supplement suggests.  I'm wondering if anyone else has used this and had any positive/negative (or non-) results?  If positive, did you notice that you had more fertile CM at all times during your cycle or just during your fertile window?

I don't have any experience but when I first heard about it I read some of the negative Amazon reviews on it. They were enough to scare me from using them ever.

UGH - I didn't see any of that.  Here I go to Amazon reviews....

Did you read the ingredients?  Lot's of Vitamin C and Lactobacillus (the good bacteria).  The directions also say to drink 64oz of water.  Lot's of water also help with CM.  Generally, stay away from "suppliments" as they can cause more harm them good.

Yes, I read them.  I was more curious about people's experiences, if they have used this.  I agree about generally staying away from supplements.  Lots of water - yes.  I am a big water drinker always, so that is one thing that works in my favor - pretty much all I drink - no soda or coffee with the occasional exception.  I do take enough medicine so I think I'll set this aside.  Thanks for the advice!

I just meant like it doesn't sound like it's anything fancy.  It has stuff you can get in everyday life (so not worth the cost).

A lot of people were reporting delayed ovulation or not ovulating at all while taking it. That's what concerned me. I understand it's all anecdotal and we don't know who these women are or how they were tracking ovulation. But that's a big risk to take.

I was curious about this too. I am coming off BCP and could use some more CM, not sure what to do about it

wouldn't Pre-seed be best for this?  Doesn't mess with hormones and mimics your CM?

I have preseed I am just not sure it is getting the job done. I am going to keep using it for now, I am hoping cycle 4 will be better

I have used it and gotten KU twice on it both times I only used it one cycle and got BFP on that first cycle. I also gave it to my BFF TTC over a year. Both her & DH check out fine medically and weren't quite ready for an RE. It was her 2nd cycle on it she got a BFP. Mind you we both took it three times a day at roughly the same time every day and drank at least 64oz of water...... But again that's just my experience.

Preseed is just sperm friendly lubricant. It just helps lube you up without killing or impeding sperm. But it won't magically fix a problem you may not even have.

It would help the not enough EWCM problem which is what the OP has.

OP doesn't say she has a problem with EWCM. Another poster said they could use a little more, though I'm not sure what that really means. This lube won't hurt your chances to get pregnant, but if you don't need it, it won't suddenly make you KU.

I am guessing the OP asked if it works because they are having a similar issue to me with little CM, thats why I jumped on the thread. (OP correct me if I am wrong). Anywho I guess what I meant is I got off bcp in april and my CM is still pretty noniexistant. I get a little wet CM but have yet to have any EWCM (side effect of bcp). Every month it gets a little better but preseed is all we have to help right now

EDIT: just wanted to add that I don't think preseed (or fertile cm) will get you KU. I know it is not magic...although it would be awesome if we could use magic to get knocked up

The only supplement I did was more water. Water until your eyeballs float!

I generally drink a lot of water but this cycle I am going to attempt to drink way more (good thing my office is right next to the bathroom!)

I don't think ANYONE thinks preseed will get you ku.

Oh no, they (general they, not you all they) do. And I was just putting it out there in case some people were lurking since if you Google questions this board will come up for answers. I've seen people discussing and advising to put preseed into a softcup to keep it inside themselves all night. People honestly believe it's a "use this and you'll get pregnant" aid. And if you think that's all you need its heartbreaking if it doesn't happen. And for the FertileCM question, after reading the negatives, I want to make sure people know that others had a really negative effect with it. Doesn't mean you shouldn't use it, just arm yourself with knowledge and do what's best for you.

Edit to clarify a bit

le sigh... we really have dumb things down for the general public huh?

It's one of the least odd thing I've seen people do to TTC. One lady was discussing thinking of stopping Clomid and about ten other ladies wanted her to mail them her extras. Wasn't even clear that she had extras. I'm sure there's a black market for it.
