I just went to CVS

WifeofMrA

I'm giving pre-seed a try this month. I'm hoping it helps since I'm not one with tons of CM

I'm not sure why, but I felt like a 16 yr old kid buying condoms. I circled the store twice, identified the aisle, waited until it was empty and went in for the sweep and used the self checkout.

 they probably thought I was a shop lifter

lol! 16yr old. GL with pre-seed. I used it internally very little though, cos it might be too sticky.

No real comment on the pre-seed because I haven't tried it but I laughed at what you did in the store. I still do that when buying pregnancy tests. Ridiculous.

Funny thing is that when we didn't want to GP and I would need to stop for condoms I felt like that too!  I just always felt like the cashier was like "know what she's doing tonight..."

But, in all seriousness - what aisle is the preseed in?  I'm hoping I won't need it but because I don't have a lot of CM either I may get some for next cycle if necessary.

That's funny you mentioned feeling like a 16yo buying condoms. When I went and bought OPKs and prenatals for the first time I was also very intimidated! But then I gave myself a quick pep talk and said, "Look. You're married and well in your late 20s. WTF are you doing looking so timid?!" Needless to say I left as quick as I could after picking them off the shelves lol.

Lol!  I work for one of the 3 pharmacies in town, so I feel the same way!  I go to the pharmacy the furthest from my store, and hide my "goodies" under my other, NTTGP stuff, lol!

I'm trying it out this month too.

I left it on the counter for DH to find. He was all excited until he opened it and found the "syringes! What the hell are these syringes for- really! What IS this!" He was scared for a bit

I am the same way with the CM, so I am thinking about giving it a whirl.

And again, I am the same way feeling like I am a 16 year old.  I found it rather humorous the other day though when I sent DH to get OPK's for me and he called me for my opinion on which ones and he was talking so soft I could barely hear a word... Apparently he didn't want anyone to hear our discussion although he had been in the aisle awhile considering he could tell me online reviews for each thanks to his smart phone's internet. You would think the way he was talking he was asking my opinion on tampons, but it was so cute and I appreciated it so much.

I am sure though that if someone were to have checked you out they either A. they have seen it all before or B. are more embarrassed than you. Or so I tell myself.

At least you could get yours quietly.  The CVS I went to had it locked up and I had to hit a "call" button for assistance.....ggrrrr!

I'm not sure about the pre-seed but I have been thinking about trying it too.

As for the awkwardness I am right with you, when I buy pregnancy tests I always try to also buy some really "adult" items because with out my hair and makeup done I look about 17.  

BrookeBrooke85

Ha!  I used to be like this with condoms, lubes or HPT.  I would push the items up to the counter with my wedding ring clearly visible! haha.

Yeah I wasn't pleased at all, next time I plan on ordering on-line to avoid the embarrasment

When I went to buy Preseed it was in a locked case. I had to press this giant button that said "Press for assistance." Then over the store speaker it says, "Customer assistance needed in family planning." I swear everyone was staring at me. They sent the youngest, pimpliest person to unlock the case for me and he asked what I wanted and handed it to me. I definitely felt like a criminal.

Glad it wasn't just my stupid CVS.

The CVS I went to has self-check out so that's what I did.  Hehehe - feel your pain.

I loved using Pre-Seed this month!! SOOO comfortable.  AF could come tomorrow or Wednesday. If not, you will all know. (Well, let's be honest...you will know either way.)

I used between .5 an 1gm internally.  I hope you love it too.

I found Pre-See at CVS in the Family Planning aisle.

That's so funny! I actually had a similar experience last Friday, I was buying the pre-seed but there are no CVSs here in Denver so I had to go to a tiny health and wellness store to pick it up.  I hovered around some other displays until the one with the pre-seed was empty, then grabbed it and tried to casually walk to the check out. There were only two of us in the store though so its not like I could hide what I was buying! Glad I'm not the only one who gets embarassed by this stuff!

WifeofMrA

it's funny..because I saw the feminie care aisle and there was the section with monistat etc..this was a small CVS, so i stalked that aisle and saw some lubricants and no pre seed, so I did two rounds around the store and then it near the opk's etc.

 it was next to shaving cream, I pretended I was looking at that, eyed it, and swooped in.

 I did the same with OPKs...i hit them under a magazine i really didn't need but just needed to cover them with something!

I always look around to make sure no one I know is there, and then bury them in my basket in case I happen to run into anyone.

I just got my first order of preseed today...looking forward to trying it out tonight, cause I'm thinking it's around O time for me.  Hope I enjoy as much as the other ladies on this board,
