secret to my BFP!

I like to preface this with the fact that I just had a BFP on Saturday which got darker on Sunday when I repeated it. Still have to do bloodwork. I just wanted to share my experience with you guys as I, like many of you, have scanned this website ferociously to get any tid bit to get a BFP. Here is what I think helped me:

1) switched to letrazole instead of clomid (name brand version of clomid which my RE said had less anti-estrogenic effects).
2) Had a HSG test done (I think this was the kicker...got pregnant the same month).
3) Used Preseed and eggwhites.
4) Most importantly, threw away the thermometer after ovulation was confirmed via ultrasound and had lots of fun BDing!

Good luck to you all!

Congratulations! Having a HSG seems to 'clear out the tubes' for many people. But what's 'preseed'?

Hey, congratulations yourself. You must be busting at the bits to deliver! Preseed is the only artificial lubricant that has been produced that will not kill sperm. In fact, studies show that it can help sperm last a bit longer. I bought it on-line at one of those fertility shops. I found that being on the clomid really dried up my CM so I needed something. Serophene didn't do as much damage but I think the Preseed helped anyways. Thanx again.
