Pre Seed vs. Conceive Plus

in Secondary IF
So any opinions on these two?
My first RE told me to not use any, even if they claim to be sperm friendly. 
With my 2nd RE he didnt say anything, so we tried Pre Seed and after using up the whole tube and no success, I am wondering if I should get a 2nd tube or try Conceive Plus instead.....
Do you ladies use either?
Me: 38, DH: 41

05/14: 4th IUI, BFN
07/14: IVF no. 1, BFN

    I like preseed as a lube, and we were using for this last BFP, I started using it when we started TTC #2 though, so it was over 2 years. I really don't think it hinders anything, and I like that it feels natural. I've never tried the other stuff.

    I was using PreSeed for my BFP with my DD. And I've been using it again this time around, although not getting the result I'm hoping for, obviously :). I like using PreSeed. I hadn't heard of Conceive Plus until this post.

    Thanks for the replies ladies. 

    @ksvend, this is what's on their website:
    "The only fertility-friendly personal lubricant with Calcium and Magnesium ions, Conceive Plus® is clinically shown to be safe for sperm, helping trying-to-conceive couples increase their chances of getting pregnant."

    I'm not sure how much calcium and magnesium ions would help though.

    My RE said either pre-seed or mineral oil- it is also sperm friendly, but a little messy...

    We used Zestica after positive reviews that I had read online about it either on the Bump or another forum that I was browsing at the time. I mean I didn't get pregnant so not sure if it helped but I don't have complaints about it.

    I also used Robitussin for increasing CM and wow that made a massive difference.

    I didn't like Pre Seed.  I thought it dried and got sticky.  We either go natural, or use coconut oil.

    Personally, I didn't really feel the difference, I hoarded that shit for fertile window only. Other than it being sperm friendly, it felt like lube to me
