A little over a month ago I introduced you all to Astroglide
TTC Trying to Conceive™. It’s a specially
formulated lubricant with adjusted pH levels that make it an excellent choice
for couples trying to conceive due to its sperm-friendly properties. We've since incorporated Astroglide TTC into
our baby making sessions, and you're probably wondering if this post means our
daughter will no longer suffer from ‘only child syndrome’. To find out, you're going to have to keep
reading.
Before I get into whether or not using Astroglide TTC has helped
us to get pregnant with baby #2, I just wanted to reiterate its uses.
Astroglide TTC is compatible with sperm, oocytes and embryos
and allows sperm to move freely.
Astroglide TTC is specially formulated with adjusted pH
levels, compatible osmolality and a consistency similar to that of your own
cervical mucus, making it less likely to hinder sperm motility than traditional
lubricants.
TTC also contains galactose, which is found naturally in
semen, as well as fructose, the main source of energy for sperm.
Like all Astroglide products, Astroglide TTC also
temporarily relieves vaginal dryness during sexual activity
Now that we've got that out of the way, I can say that as I
write this post, I am on CD3 of my menstrual cycle. In other words, we are not pregnant. Unfortunately for us, using Astroglide TTC
during my most fertile period of my cycle didn't work. This doesn't mean that Astroglide TTC is ineffective;
our timing could have been off. Also, both my husband and I have been under a
lot of stress, especially over the last few weeks.
Just because it didn't work this time around doesn't mean we're
going to discontinue using it. In fact, we’ve reached for it outside of my cycle’s fertile days, which goes to show how much we like it. In the interim I'm going to keep tracking my cycle, taking my temps, and taking my prenatal vitamins. Hopefully, nature will take its course, and we will not have to lose a fortune in IVF costs.
It helps that actually like using Astroglide TTC even when we're just doing the do for fun. The consistency feels natural; not too wet, too sticky or just too, if you know what I mean. Since we don't have to fill an applicator, it isn't messy like other TTC lubes we've used in the past. It’s also easy to use due
to the convenient pre-filled disposable applicators that make it easy to coat
the inside of the vagina, supplementing natural fluids and enhancing comfort.
Astroglide TTC™ has a retail price of $12.99 for 8
pre-filled applicators; the best value compared to any competitor. Check here to see where you can pick up a box.
