Trying to Get Pregnant

Preseed

Has anyone used this to get pregnant? If so, did you use it throughout your fertile period or just during on a peak day?  I'm just trying to get a better idea of what would work best. Thanks!

    It's just a sperm friendly lubricant, use it whenever you want.

    I've never used it but most lubes are not condusive for sperm-friendly environments. Pressed is one that doesn't hinder them so use whenever you want.

  • I would use it all your fertile days.

    It's not a replacement for cervical mucus. It's just a sperm-friendly lube. The packaging (by people who want to sell you more of their product :) ) only says use it when you wouldn't have sex if you couldn't use lube. So for me, if it's the end of a long FW or we need to get down to business and I'm going to need longer than we have to get in the game, we'll use it. That said, I wouldn't use any other lube during the TTC process. Even if you're 5 DPO or -7 and you intend to just be engaging in recreational activities,  I wouldn't use traditional lube just because you're regular until you're not, bodies are weird, and charts are sometimes hard to interpret. I didn't quiz her on all of the specifics but my sister swears that she got pregnant with just -6 timing. So, it can happen when you don't expect it.

    Like PP said, it's a sperm friendly lube. If you find you need lube for sex, I recommend it while TTC. It's kind of pricey but I personally like it so much I might keep buying it. FYI- A little bit goes a looonnng way.

  • I personally use it the entire FW since it seems to be more "down to business" than for fun and it helps. I highly recommend only using 2g instead of the recommended 4g or it's like a dripping slip and slide. DH thinks the half dose it much more enjoyable too
  • Agree with @SnobunnieMel - the less you use the better.  I usually just use 1.  
  • I agree with the less is more - I only use 1 also and it's plenty.  I like it a lot more than other lubes, it feels more natural to me and DH has made a similar comment.  
    DD born PPROM preemie at 36 weeks on 10/1/17 after over a year TI, 
    then 3 failed IUIs, and finally a successful IVF FET.

    Due with #2 5/2/19 after HIO once in my FW,
    because apparently that's how life works now. Team Blue!

    I just got a BFP after using Preseed exactly 3 times during my FW. I'm pretty sure it was a combination of factors, including finally having a more accurate idea of my O date, but adding in Preseed definitely didn't hurt! I definitely agree with @SnobunnieMel 's slip 'n' slide analogy- don't use too much!

    Thanks everyone!!!!
  • Not sure what defines "too much" but DH and I use the full amount and find we have no issues (I personally am very dry though).

    **TW M/C mentioned***
    The cycle I got my BFP I used Pre-seed, with the applicator during my F/W only.
