A new study (Rapoport-Hubschman et al., Fertility & Sterility Oct 2009) found that women who managed their infertility stress through emotion focused coping had more successful outcomes with In vitro fertilization than did women who managed their stress with problem focused coping.  This especially referred to the ability to “let go” of their infertility in the emotion focused coping. Women who were better able to “let go” of their stress had significantly higher pregnancy rates. This study proposed that letting go is best learned through meditation training.

I know that many times women who are going through infertility, become a bit like navy captains directing this and that with regards to timing intercourse, what he and she can eat etc…  And I understand why this happens.  While some proactive planning is good, making you and your spouse nuts is not.  I remember one gal who called me and said “I only let him ejaculate when I am ovulating”.  Not only is this the wrong thing to do physiologically, it actually makes for poorer quality sperm and lower testosterone.  But think about this poor man’s life and the quality of partnership they are having!

So doing your best to know your body and get sperm there at the right time is good– micromanaging every aspect of life with only a pregnancy as the desired outcome– not good.  Find ways to teach yourself to let go, even if you need some professional help to get there!

Dear Friends, I loved this User’s Story because she touches on many “real life women’s issues”  These include: concerns with trying to conceive after a long time on OCs; knowing the length of your own cycle versus what a package of pills makes you do; and of course the TOO slippery situation J which I actually have a FAQ for! http://preseed.com/FAQs/FAQ5.php#Wiping_DH_off_when_it_is_too_Slippery

I can’t believe I get the opportunity to tell women about how great Pre Seed works!

I have been married for 10 years and my husband and I decided to start our family.  I have been on birth control pills for over ten years and was concerned that conceiving was going to take a while.  We started trying the first month I stopped the pill and when I got my period, I was really sad.  For some reason, I had assumed that when we were ready to have a child, it would just happen.  I bought two boxes of Pre Seed (only used part of one) and hoped that this month I would get a positive pregnancy test.  Ladies, it happened . . . . .  I got a positive after using Pre Seed one month.  I am still in shock and want to encourage you to try Pre Seed. 

My personal opinion, a lot goes a long way.  I used the applicator and my husband said a couple times that I used to much.  FYI . . . . too much feels good, but takes FOREVER to “do the deed”!  Also, ladies, I ovulated much later than I thought, for some reason I thought I was a “28 day” cycle, as I was on the pill; when in actuality, I was really a “34 day” cycle.

Good luck to all and don’t test too early, it can make you go CRAZY!! ~ TS

Dear Friends,

We received the following request from the International Premature Ovarian Failure Association (IPOFA).  I thought this story was moving, and the organization may be of help to someone you know.  INGfertility is happy to support this group in their education and support outreach.

I am writing to see if you and INGfertility would be interested in sponsoring the International Premature Ovarian Failure Association (IPOFA). Our association provides support, information, and advocacy for women with Premature Ovarian Failure and their loved ones, primarily through the use of our internet tools.  We are looking for a successful company to partner with that has a heart for the education and support of women afflicted with POF.  We see these qualities in your company, and we invite you to join us, IPOFA, in our mission to provide information and support to this growing community and in educating the medical community on how to properly and efficiently diagnosis this devastating disorder so that those suffering with it may get the immediate medical attention they need and deserve.

I am reaching out to you not only as a volunteer member of the International Premature Ovarian Failure Association but as a woman struggling with Premature Ovarian Failure and a Pre-seed customer for approximately the last 2 years.  Having finally received my official POF diagnosis after a 3 year struggle, I was thrilled to have found a product that seemed to be meant just for my situation.  Premature Ovarian Failure is a condition occurring in women under the age of 40, in some cases the onset may begin in the teen years.  This disorder is commonly associated with serious health conditions and infertility, leaving those women with the disorder only a 5-10% chance of ever conceiving using their own eggs.  Some of the symptoms of POF include but are not limited to: irregular periods to no periods, hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, depression, and sexual dysfunction due to vaginal dryness and painful intercourse.  With such a limited chance of conceiving and the devastating effects of sexual dysfunction I found Pre-seed to be the answer I was looking for.

Having just gotten back from my very first IPOFA Conference held in Houston, TX, I was amazed at the number of women not familiar with Pre-seed.  Normally I try to limit my promoting a product however being such a happy customer I had no hesitation in introducing the women and their husbands to this great product.  Of course the interest was very high and it was even noted to me that this would also be a great product for women who experience POF after receiving chemotherapy as a part of cancer treatments.

On behalf of the IPOFA, we look forward to a partnership with you and with your company.  Our joint initiative will make a lasting impact on the lives of these women and their families and ensure they will have a brighter outlook for their futures.

Q.  Are you going to sell the Pre-Seed multi-use tubes only, or the pre-filled applicators, too? We loved Pre-Seed, in the pre-filled applicators.  Thanks.

A.  For several years, we have received strong user feedback requesting that we make Pre-Seed in a multi-use tube which limits packaging and product waste over the pre-filled applicators.  Additionally, costs for the pre-filled applicator packaging continued to increase.  Therefore, INGfertility made the decision to switch to the multi-use tube with applicators which allowed women to choose how  much product they wanted to use.  The multi-use has been very well received. However, I hear from users every week, such as yourself, who prefer the pre-filled applicators.  Actually, I liked the convenience they offered too, for my own personal use! 

Currently INGfertility is evaluating bringing the pre-filled Pre-Seed applicators back into production in 2010. Unfortunately, if we do they may be a little pricier than the multi-use Pre-Seed.  But do let us know if you are a pre-filled applicator fan :).  Also make sure you are signed up to receive our Pre-Seed eNews:  http://preseed.com/TheInventor/eNews.php.   We will have a User survey on this topic in the coming month through our news Also make sure you are signed up to receive our Pre-Seed eNews . http://preseed.com/TheInventor/eNews.php.  We will have a User survey on this topic in the coming month through our news letter.  Let your TTC community know to sign up too so we can get everyone’s thoughts on their favorite Pre-Seed packaging.
