Re: Cervical mucus hostility anyone?
***BFP mentioned, not mine***
I was never tested personally but I have a friend that had a post coital test and her CM was hostile and still had a lot of sperm in it. The RE told her to take mucinex for 5 days prior to O. They had been trying for 18 months and just doing TI. It worked and she got a BFP that month!

March 15 Siggy Challenge: You had one job
At any rate, we have our follow up RE apt next week, after I have healed up from surgery. I suspect she will suggest IUI, but hubby and I have decided to give it a try again on our own for a few months.
Wondering if anyone has tried pre-seed or any of the other CM support lubricants?
At this point, I will try just about anything
TTC since 2012
Me 35, DH 32 -DH SA all clear

as of 7/14.....not so patiently waiting
poss IUI/IVF fall 2014 BIG Surprise BFP Aug 2014!
I have heard of evening primrose oil as well, but have yet to try it. I am thinking about doing that next cycle. I have used Mucinex and pre-seed (separately and at the same time) and have noticed that Mucinex does a lot to help thin CM and pre-seed is, well, very liquidy as well (sorry TMI). I have also heard that the use of CM altering substances poses a risk of letting bad swimmers through whereas your own natural CM is meant to stop them. Not sure how reliable that info is as I, of course, heard this from Dr. google lol. It's something that is definitely worth reading up on.

Sunday morning. We used 1g pre BD'ing. Then used a soft cup which we put another gram into. We actually really liked it. And we are hoping for positive results. From my recent experience, I say try it! $19 at Target
