Re: ProXeed

  • 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. Smile
