TTC After a Loss
Talk to me about preseed (TMI)
Ever since my loss I don't get EWCM (I take EPO and still nothing.) I only get wet and slippery.
This is my first month using the CBEFM and I got my peak this am. I was going to try and take a laid back approach for the next few months, but clearly that isn't happening since i just spend $20.00 on lube 
If memory is correct I remember ladies saying "a litte goes a long way."
Does this mean I should not use the applicator?
How much is too much? (Dime size, quarter, etc....)
Do you use the applicator?
Any other helpful info.....
TIA!!

Re: Talk to me about preseed (TMI)
I used preseed the month I got my BFP.
Yes a little does go a long way. I used it internally w/ the applicator but only used 1/2 of the recommended amount. We would also use it externally for foreplay sometimes.
I decided to start using it because sometimes the sex sessions would get long and it help to "keep things moving" haha!
FYI it does have a different "odor" to it. It is not a bad/smelly/off-putting odor but we did notice it. I would invest in it. For $20.00 it will last you a while!
I haven't used the applicator yet, but I think I might this month - just to make sure I have a nice preseed reservoir. I'm like you - very little EWCM.
I would recommend taking it for a test run before you O, just to get a feel for it. Start with a little, then add more if you need it. I start with a dime size. The consistency is very unlike most lubes - it's way more watery, so while it provides lubrication, it doesn't last nearly as long as most traditional lubes. GL!

Because of the great "Snow"vember of 2015, my medicated cycle was cancelled. However, we were blessed with our little rainbow baby due on 8/14/15! Baby J had other plans and decided to make his grand ole entrance on 7/4/2015!
Surprise! Our little girl entered this world on 12/8/2016 after her eviction notice was long past due. Our little turkey baby turned into a snow baby!
I'd use maybe 1.5 or 2. That always worked for me!
ETA: I forgot this stuff.
I used the applicators until I ran out and still had tons of lube left. Now I just use it like regular lube.

I really like pre-seed, but my husband isn't as much of a fan. He likes it better when I don't use too much of it.
I typically use about half of what it calls for, otherwise there is not enough friction and, well, that takes the pressure to a new level during FWP time. In my experience, using the full amount they recommend is just totally counterproductive.
I use it both internally and externally, based on how much of my own lube I am making at the time.
I love preseed. But be careful, we got way to much on this weekend and it just wasnt "as fun" as when we use a little
We dont use the applicator.
Funny story: We keep it in the nightstand. This weekend, after a night out, we came home and told DH to get the preseed. He grabs a tube, takes the cap off. I look up just in time to stop him from squeezing out some kind of athletes foot cream!
Yes, we'd been drinking. That is also the same night we used way too much.

I also used it the month I got my BFP..
I use the smallest amount internally during my fertile window but other times of them month I will just put a little on the outside to help things along.. I have liked it so far with no problems! The only negative thing is that sometimes it is hard for me to tell if I am having EWCM or if it is just left over preseed from the night before!
Since I'm about to O...I'm going to use a tiny amount since I don't have any time to test it out. I think I'm going to use the applicator and see what happens.
Funny Story: LOL - that is hilarious. Glad you looked up in time...that could have been bad.
Have fun with the preseed
You can always add more.
And yes, I am so glad I caught that. I am sure that it wouldnt have been sperm (or vagina for that matter) friendly. I was/am getting ready to O too--I need those boys in tip top shape.

I don't use the applicator. DH just *ahem* rubs it on him before entry. You have to move quick though because it dries fast, but if I put internally then it is way too much and sex does not feel as good for me. I need some friction! LOL
It seemed to work well enough. We got pregnant those cycles we were using it.

I love that stuff. I find it way closer to natural lubrication than most lube, and plan to keep using it for fun even when we're not TTC.
I haven't tried the applicators, just use about a fingertip's worth externally/internally.
Good luck! I got PG the cycle we used it.
