Anyone's DH using it?

RE recommended it, but golly its' expensive. I just bought a 1 month supply because, well ouch.

Do you mean pre seed?  Yes, I bought it back around the 9 month mark TTC since it's the only sperm safe lube. But if you're doing IUI, you are by-passing the whole CM phase and taking sex almost out of the picture.  ((I know we're recommended to have sex the night of trigger and night after IUI but I know with MFI it's really unlikely this will be how we get KU.))  

That said, it goes a looooooong way.  It took us over a year and a half to go through that tube using it in FW times.  And really, I seem to have enough CM and get my motor running from foreplay not to really need it.

Or since you spelled it with an X is this a vitamin supplement because I vaugly remember a name like that.  - - - If that's what you're asking about then no, because our RE and URO gave us three options and Fertility Blend for Men was the cheapest I found.  I buy it on iHerb.com

Yeah I've got Pre Seed, but I'm talking about the supplement. Its the only one the RE recommended. I'll have to ask next time I see him, if there is something a little bit cost friendly.

Although, lets be honest....IF is not cost friendly.

I was given the name of three suppliments; and I compared the % of each vitamin or supplement that was in them ((And even cost compared what it'd be like for me to just buy them individually and have DH take like 15 pills a day)).  In the end that's how we landed on Fert Blend for Men because it was so much more cost friendly.  It costs us about $25 a month.  Since you already bought the first month then yes, I'd ask their thoughts on comparing it to other options.  

I just found the original list, the options he gave us were these:

 Conception XR, FertilityBlend, and ProXeed Plus

I just looked this up, and yikes!  It is expensive.  It looks pretty similar to the fertility blend pp mentioned (not exactly the same). My dh takes coast, also has a lot of the same ingrediants.  Ours is about $90 per month.  You could probably do some comparision shopping compare what is in them and cost.  I always figure, yes it adds a bit, but I would kick myself if we spent tons on injects and his sample was terrible.  It is probably worth it.

Quick google search on the two's ingredients between ProXeed and Fert Blend for Men: If you open them up side by side you can see that they have similar stuff (but we add 200mg CoQ-10 to DH's Fertility Blend from a rec from Uro).  Like I said, this mixed with cost is what convinced us.

$90 for you and $118 for OP? OMG girls!  And here my H complains about the $25 a month for Fertility blend plus $15 for the added CoQ I buy at tar.get.  I'm going to remind him next time he complains that we're getting off easy at $40 a month.

$25!!!  Wow, we will surely be making the switch.  I am so glad OP posted this, always nice to save money along the way.

Yes, like I said I did a hella=lot of research when we first started supps back in June 2010 and this was the cheapest I found...here is a link to the website I use to order it:

 https://www.iherb.com/Daily-Wellness-Company-Fertility-Blend-for-Men-60-Capsules/12875

Glad I could save you money.  PLUS Tar.get and Wal.mart seem to have the cheapest CoQ...Compared to Wal.greens it's $10 cheaper...but at Tar.get because of my employee discount and red card discount so that's an extra 15% off.

Glad I could save people money.

Thanks ladies!!!!

$25 is a TON better than what I just spent!

My DH is taking the Fertilityblend and CoQ10, but he orders a huge bottle of the coq10 off ebay.

My DH takes fertility blend too. He went to a urologist that recommended ConceptionXR but for $70 a month and practically the same ingredients no thanks.
