Pre-seed anyone?

Has anyone tried pre-seed before BD with any success? I keep seeing posts on other forums where women who got BFPs are swearing by the stuff but still not convinced. Anyone?

    I think those women are likely not suffering from infertility...All depends on what your reason for infertility I guess. We tried pre-seed before the whole fertility process, and possibly during our first medicated cycle, but we needed more than just that for the magic to happen. Can't hurt though if you're doing TI anyway.

    It's simply of sperm-friendly lube.  It just won't kill sperm like most lube does.

    I did happen to use it the month I got pregnant (I lost the preg unfortunately ) BUT it could have been random . Because I did an IUI followed by intercourse . I have a friend who swears by it - she got pregnant the month she started using it . I figure it can't hurt ! Why not ??

    At its least, it can help reduce friction w/out affecting sperm if needed for frequent bd. It's really only beneficial as a fertility support if your fertile CM is limited. I used it for bd after both IUIs. They didn't work, but that was due to MFI so I can't speak to its efficacy.

    I used it the first 2 times I was on Clomid due to a marked decrease in CM.... and nothing. However, Clomid thins my lining and my decrease in CM was a sign of that. Unfortunately, I wasn't monitored those 2, but I likely had too thin of a lining. If you have CM issues, I can see it helping. Otherwise, I think the utility is more to help you actually have sex in the first place.

    One of my friends annoyingly swears by using menstrual cups to keep the sperm near the cervix. From further testing, I know that's not my issue, but she doesn't stop telling me to do it!

    Thanks everyone for the responses! I don't have a problem with CM but maybe I'll give it a go anyway since it can't really hurt right? Just didn't know if it was the "miracle" everyone seemed to be claiming it was!

    We have been using pre seed ever since we started ttc so it hasn't worked for us. One month we switched to vegetable oil bc a friends RE recommended it to her and it was cheaper..ended up with a rash down there it was awful!

    My RE told us that preseed actually was harming us more than helping us, since the lubrication can actually make it more difficult for the sperm to travel. She said if you need help in that department, use a tiny bit of canola oil...
