Has anyone tried preseed?

Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone has tried preseed. I saw it mentioned on another site and the reviews I have read seem very positive. My AF arrived today two days early so I thought I am going to try preseed this cycle. Anyone's thoughts most welcome x

Wow some great results on here with it, congratulations!

Had a look on the internet and a lot of people have had boys using it, I wonder why that is? X

Used pre seed for the first time last night, I like it more than the durex stuff we've always previously used. Fingers crossed!

fergie and southpaws so delighted for you!! Been using preseed all month and love it but just ran out and this is my very last night of BD (according to sperm meets egg plan) and the bloody massive Boots store didn't have it. I usually order off amazon but assumed that a huge Boots would have it. Bought balance active for conception instead but gutted I couldn't get my preseed. Fingers crossed ice already caught...

We used YesYesYes and it was brilliant. Bfp straight away.

We're going to start using it this month. Nice to see all the success stories :)

Been using it for 6 months and doesn't make a big if difference except we actually quite prefer it to other lubes :/ Personally I think it's just clever marketing.

Thanks everyone, it's just starting to sink in. We used it day 10, 13,14&15. I got a smiley face on clear blue ovulation on day 15 but couldn't DDT any more days as I had to travel for work. Reading about preseed I believe it helps the sperm live Longer. I think it's worth trying x

Congratulations fergie Thanks

I conceived two of my boys really quickly using preseed

Lilo08 · 02/03/2014 19:32

Fergie, congrats!! When in your cycle did you use preseed and how often?
We have been ttcing forever and want to use preseed this month but not sure when to use it. I'm on cd 10.
It's difficult for us to dtd every day or even every other day so I am planning to focus on the fertile week.

congrats to southpaw too

Southpaws · 01/03/2014 06:02

Oh my god congrats OP!! Thanks
It's good stuff!

Southpaws · 01/03/2014 06:01

We had been TTC for 8 cycles with no joy. Bought some preseed for cycle 9 and could be a coincidence but got a BFP. We did dtd every single night in cycle 9 too as opposed to every other night in previous cycles so not sure which did the trick, but I'm sure preseed helped.

Don't use full 5ml though, 1-2 is enough. Good luck!

I got my bfp this morning! First month using preseed so I would highly recommend it xx

I tried pre-seed but found the whole syringe thing a bit of a faff about so I tried the pre filled conceive plus applicators (I got mine from amazon). You can get the tube as well. So I use the applicators during the really fertile time because you can get it right up to the cervix (where I hope it will give the swimmers a bit of a helping hand on their way) and the tube for occasions when I am a bit dry and need a little bit for extra comfort. It's quite expensive but given I am trying just about everything else I figure why not! My DP isn't aware I use it and just thinks I am really up for it Grin

Since using we have conceived twice but sadly miscarried both pregnancies - whether it helped us conceive I don't know but definitely worth giving it a go.

Good luck Emily fx for bfp. I am now 7dpo

EmilyPinkOrBlue · 21/02/2014 15:43

We used balance activ that I found in boots it comes in gel or a spray I read that lubricants can kill sperm so needed something moist to help Ttc comfortable I didn't buy it for the helping the sperm factor I havent got my bfp yet 9dpo but it's worth a try

sambababy · 21/02/2014 15:13

We always used lube just for my comfort, so when ttc switched to conceive plus. Got my bfp after the 2nd cycle. I obviously can't comment on whether it helped but there's no harm in trying these things in my opinion!
Good luck!

prettywhiteguitar · 17/02/2014 07:29

We conceived dd on the 2nd cycle with preseed but I had already charted and so wasn't leaving anything to chance

Doesn't hurt to try it

SoonToBeSix · 16/02/2014 22:22

Yes for my last pregnancy before this one, it worked second cycle. Would recommend. Might not be relevant but anecdotally more boys than girls are conceived when using preseed.

Beccadugs · 16/02/2014 21:58

We got pregnant first cycle using preseed, but it was only third cycle trying. I think it mainly help in that sex was better and easier as I can be a bit dry Blush
The nice reassuring thing is that it won't do any harm as it's nice and friend to the sperm!

Used preseed this cycle which I really liked and so did dh and so now the 2 week wait. Promised myself I'm not going to symptom spot or test early!!

PickledMoomin · 03/02/2014 21:15

Yes! Had been TTC for over a year. Used it once- BFP which resulted in a MC.
TTC again for a few months. Used pre seed for the second time-BFP. I really rate it
