Pre-seed review ?

Has anybody tried pre-seed? I’ve read online that its helped people get pregnant but I’m just not sure what to believe, I’ve tried what feels like everything ☹️ Getting to the point where I just have no idea what else to try 😩💔

Hi @Stacey2007.
We have been using pre-seed for the last few years, and we like using it. It makes us feel we are doing all we can and I’m sure it’s helped.
We haven’t had a bfp after using it though, so I can’t say it’s magically worked. Sorry that’s not the answer you’ll want, I know.

Meant to say, the few times we have come close to falling pregnant were the months that we used the pre-seed.
It’s worth a try, if only to help you feel that you’re doing all you can.
Sorry you’re going through this. It’s very hard to want this so badly and for it not to happen month after month.

We used it and got our bfp the month we used it....absolutely impossible to tell if it made a difference....both prefer using lube so it made dtd more enjoyable
Lots of luck trying xx

Thankyou both for your respond, I think I might just go and buy some and try it for nothing 😁🤞🏼 Keep my fingers crossed xx

I’ve used it but we preferred the texture of a different product you can buy in Boots. Not that either of them worked...

For us it was a waste of time and money - not going to make any difference

We use it. Haven’t got a bfp but then we have Male factor infertility. However I like the texture and consistency and it doesn’t go sticky. Expensive but worth it as it’s obviously sperm friendly. Surely can’t harm? But don’t hang all your hopes on it.

Used a similar “sperm friendly” lube called Conceive plus. First month got pregnant, thought wow it’s the miracle lube! Miscarried and been trying for almost a year since, every month with the lube and nothing. Like other PPs have said I use it as when we’re DTD a lot, it keeps things ticking along nicely down there with minimal irritation!

I think at the end of the day, if you’re going to struggle to get pregnant you’re going to struggle to get pregnant. No amount of sperm friendly lube, herbs, yoga or accupunture is going to help unfortunately.

Not had my bfp yet but we've been using the sperm friendly stuff. Altho it's not happened yet it does seem to help keep the swimmers up there better if you know what I mean 🙈 sorry if that's tmi 😂

Pre-seed is the one that does the best in tests for being sperm-friendly, followed by Conceive Plus. Obviously plenty of people manage to get pregnant using the 'wrong' kind of lubricant, but you never know, it might help and it won't hurt. Anyway it's a decent lubricant so if it makes things more comfortable or enjoyable that's a win in itself, right?

The things we do . . . Flowers

I bought £80 worth of CoQ10 (ubiquinol) recently which on one level I find pretty funny, I just have to laugh at myself!
