Warning: Might make some sick to look at, but, this is what our female bodies do, so amazing!
I recently came across this VERY cool picture of a human egg coming out of the the ovary. I thought this was truly amazing to actually be able to see it and see it clearly! Take a look for yourselves! Ovulation Takes Place On Camera!

Isn’t this amazing?! Now, if only I can catch my egg this month, ugh! Easier said then done! I am now on month 6 of trying to conceive. We temp, I do the basal body temperature thing EVERY morning, I take my prenatal vitamins and I excercise and drink plenty of water. That use to be enough, but I guess not anymore 🙁
I also use Preseed. Preseed is a sperm friendly lubricant that works with the sperm instead of against it and attacking it and killing it. It is the only known lubricant that is sperm friendly! I used it with my pregnancies and now ttc. It usually gave me my BFP’s (big fat positives), but this time it is taking us longer, sigh!
I love the website Fertility Friend. That is where I chart my trying to conceive journey, and I have met a lot of wonderful Mama’s along the way! If you are trying to conceive, I definitely recommend them.
There are so many ways people will tell you, to get pregnant faster. Like some people swear by the Sperm Meets Egg Plan (SMEP). Or, taking soy or taking Evening Primrose Oil Caplets or grapfruit juice to help with cm (cervical mucus) and sooo many more! Hard to keep up! Whoosh!
Anyways, just wanted to share my journey and different things I have learned along the way and of course those awesome pictures above! Wow!
Are you done having kids? Are you Trying to Conceive? What is the wackiest thing you have done to get pregnant? I want to know! Tell me 🙂

How is this picture real? A human egg is supposed to be as small as a period at the end of a sentence….
Kim says
It is magnified, LOL….

Incredible photo, thank you for sharing.
Besides FertilityFriend, one site that I found to be very accurate and a joy use for fertility monitoring is ovuline.com

Amazing pics, WOW!
It took 23 months with my oldest. The 24th month was my first Clomid cycle (50mgs CD 3-7) and I got pregnant. She’s now 7. (& my chart is STILL on FF and I STILL talk to the women in my group, who all wound up getting pregnant!)
My second was a miraculous oops when we weren’t even trying. She’s now 5.
My baby took 6 months. I did 2 rounds of Clomid. First was 50mgs like with my oldest. Second round was 100mgs and I was pregnant. He’s now 3.
After ALL of that, I tied my tubes when he was 2 months old. Hardest decision ever to take away the ability I yearned for for so long. Don’t give up & feel free to email anytime. I know the struggle xxoo

Did you ever get an IUI? I just had my third one and it failed AGAIN 🙁 Next month I will do another IUI but this time it will be monitored and I will get that lovely trigger shot in my behind, ugh. I have been doing clomid for three months too, to no avail. I am ovulating, but still no baby.. I think I will email you 🙂 Thanks for sharing your story <3

No IUI because thankfully, I got my BFP before it came to that, although that was the next step. How about Metformin? It’s a Clomid alternative that I’ve heard works better. Please email! I’d love to go through some stuff without it being all out in the open xxoo

It’s always cool to see these inside processes that you never get to see. 🙂
