I know that there have been posts about this in the past, but for the life of me, I couldn't find any. I'm curious about the experiences you ladies have had using FertileCM. I've been using green tea and EPO for a few months, and while it has helped, I still barely produce any CM and generally only have EWCM for an hour or two. So, I ordered FertileCM along with more IC OPKs. I also use Pre Seed internally during O time, but I know that this can't completely substitute for fertile CM. I'm pretty hesitant to use Mucinex since I only take meds when I really feel like I have to, and this seemed like a decent alternative.
So, anyone who's used FertileCM, tell me about what you thought of it! Did you notice a difference? Any stomach upset with it? Did you use EPO and/or green tea at the same time? Thanks so much for any insight!
Re: Experiences using FertileCM?
I took it and it worked really well for me. I actually had never seen EWCM until I started taking it. I took it from the end of AF up until O, and when I was close to O time I drank green tea also. I never had an upset stomach or any problems with it.
(For those of you who don't know what she's talking about, you can find FertileCM here.)
TTC Journey:
Me: Dx stage I endometriosis DH: minimal MFI - 3% morph
IUI #1 - cycle converted to IVF #1 due overproduction of follies.
BFP - m/c
IVF #2 (finally) - Lupron + FSH + Ovidrel + Crinone = 10 eggs retrieved, Two grade A embryos transferred, 3 frosties!
BFP - Beta #1 39.4 Beta #2 22 = c/p
FET #1
I started taking it last cycle, but I stopped after I O'd. I didnt really notice a difference, but I was only taking it for a week or two. I'm not sure how long you have to take it for it to start working. I'll start taking it again after AF.
...Because it's amazing. I hadn't ovulated since July... started taking Fertilaid and O'd after just 4 days. I'll let you know how it works when I get to start trying again, but I feel great! And I had TONS of EWCM

This is the first cycle using FertileCM and there's definitely a difference in the amount of CM. In the past I've always had to check internally for CM but not this cycle
I haven't had any s/e either. I also bought Fertilaid for Men for the hubs. It's said to help in the development of healthy sperm.
I looked at FertileAid, but figured that since my issue is CM and not whether or not I O, FertileCM was the best choice for me. My understanding is that FertileAid for Women is more for regulating hormonal balance and it is combined with a PNV. Is this correct?
So I started looking into this FertilAid stuff, and one of the reviews says:
"I started taking this product in March, and my wife got pregnant in May. And I am pretty sure its mine."
That made me LOL for some reason.
Depending on the results of the SA that DH and I keep putting off, and what our doctor says, we might give this a try, too. GL to those of you who are starting!
I've been taking FertileCM for the last 3 cycles from AF to O. I've had a lot of EWCM, and I never have to check internally because it's that abundant. This cycle I'm also taking evening primrose oil.

Exactly! But I just wanted to throw it in here
I love the stuff.
Is that something you can get in the pharmacy section at Walmart, or in CVS? Or is it the type of thing you need to order online?
