Trying to Get Pregnant

Preseed = fail

So maybe I should have researched this more before using it but I am now totally miserable. So using preseed makes your vagina less acidic so the sperm can survive longer. Guess what less acidic means for me? A raging yeast infection:( This is not fun. At least I did not use it until the end of the FW so we got lots of bding before then.

 

Anyone else have the same problem with preseed?

Re: Preseed = fail

  • How much did you use? 

    I use it externally only so I've never had a problem with it

  • Maybe try those pH wipes so that when when you're not using the preseed, you can clean that up and get the acidity at a normal range so you will be less likely to get a yeast infection.

  • Hmmm I am also sensitive to yeast infections and have ordered pre-seed. My Dr recommended adding in a couple of servings of yogurt the prebiotic kind to balance out. Haven't tried it yet but it is worth a shot!

  • I use it internally as well as externally, and I haven't had any issues. However, that's not to say that the Preseed didn't cause it. Are you prone to them?

    Yeast infections are horrible though - I hope you feel better soon!

  • I'm sorry! In my research on it I never read anything about yeast infections. I have been using it and never had a problem. I hope you feel better!!

  • I haven't used preseed, but I did notice that quite a few of the reviews on amazon mention really bad yeast infections.

    I pretty much don't use anything bc of this. I have an uber sensitive vagina apparently.

     

    This... I have always had issues and have to be super vigilant, ie never wear sweaty clothes once I get home from gym or sit in a wet bathing suit. I also take an antibiotic every time I have sex because I am prone to uti's. That is a whole different problem as I am also allergic to penicillin and don't respond to about 80% of the usual antibiotics.  My doctor and I spent several rounds of testing just to find an antibiotic that I actually respond to. Good thing that one is safe for pregnancy because if it wasn't I would be a hot mess once I get pg. I guess I was just blindsided as it never occurred to me. It definitely was the preseed though. I'll have to try to up the yogurt and maybe just try it externally next cycle.
