for those of you using pre-seed

mmz

my RE just advised me against using it. I have very little CM, so I've been using it for several months thinking it would help slide the spermmies to where they need to be. he told me any lube (even pre-seed) has spermicidal effects and that if we don't need lube to have intercourse -- don't use it.

we have no problem doing it w/o lube. I just wish I had this convo with RE sooner. my OB actually told me the same thing way back when we first started trying, but I just didn't want to believe her. when we were trying for #1, I had TONS of EWCM, and we conceived in the second month. so I thought the pre-seed would help this time around.

 anyway, FWIW.

Thanks so much for posting this.  I was just about to buy some pre-seed.

Hmmm, thanks, that's interesting, especially with all the success stories I hear about.  Guess I'll ask my gynecologist about it when I see her on the 18th.

My RE actually told me that if we needed to use lube to use pre-seed or pre.

 

i wonder if it's one of those things the Dr's debate on.

let me just clarify... he said don't use pre-seed if you don't have any trouble having sex without lube (in other words, if you have enough natural lubrication to have sex comfortably).

on the other hand, if you NEED lube (if you can't otherwise have sex comfortably), he said a water-soluable lube (such as pre-seed) is the way to go, because it is the LEAST spermcidal.

 sorry if I confused anyone.

Thanks mmz, that makes a lot of sense.

Thanks much for the info, mmz...i was considering getting some pre-seed for the very same reason. Don't need it, but thought it might help by greasing the slip-n-slide and getting those sperms where they need to go. Thanks to your info, i will just put the money towards extra pee-sticks instead. I am thinking of building a Pee Stick Castle.
