Starting The Family You Want Easily: Get Results With Astroglide TTC While Trying to Conceive™
Trying to conceive (also known as TTC in the trying to conceive world) can be frustrating and stressful, especially when experiencing difficulty in becoming pregnant. My TTC story includes a number of ups and downs, but in the end, my story is a happy one, with two beautiful children to show for all the frustrations and sadness.
The first time I became pregnant, we were so excited and told everyone right away. Unfortunately, we lost the pregnancy early on. The second time, I was terrified it would happen again. This time, we waited until we saw (and heard!) our little one’s heartbeat at an ultrasound at 8 weeks to tell anyone. We spent the next few weeks getting more excited, until we found out at almost 12 weeks that we had lost this baby, too.
Needless to say, when I became pregnant for the third time, we were extra secretive about it. We didn’t tell anyone until we were over 12 weeks along, after our third ultrasound to make sure everything was still good, on Mother’s Day. The journey to get to this pregnancy had sad moments, but it was worth it all in the end, because our beautiful daughter, Sienna, came from it. She is 19 months old today.
When TTC, many women stress over all the details – timing, ovulation symptoms, pregnancy symptoms, etc. For women having trouble TTC, everything from their diet to their partner’s diet to what position to have sex in (yes, I’ve heard this one!) crosses their minds. Astroglide TTC Trying to Conceive™ is a product many may not have heard of that can help ease some of the worries in the minds of those desiring to be parents.
The environment of the vagina needs to be hospitable for sperm to survive and increase the chances of fertilizing the egg for a woman to become pregnant. pH levels are important, as is osmolality (the concentration of certain substances) and the consistency of the cervical mucus, which helps sperm move along to its destination. Many lubricants can inhibit sperm’s ability to make it to the egg, but Astroglide TTC™ is a lubricant formulated with adjusted pH levels, compatible osmolality and a consistency like that of cervical mucus, so it allows sperm to move freely. Another positive? It has a retail price of only $12.99 for 8 pre-filed applicators, so not only is it inexpensive, but it is also less messy than having to fill applicators on your own.
It’s important to reduce your stress when TTC, and Astroglide TTC™ is an easy way to do that. Good luck and happy baby making!
