I found it a bit slippy if that makes sense, dh likes it though. I used slightly less than the suggested amount.

Roxy8203 · 08/03/2020 13:40

I didn't use the full amount but it was exactly the same as normal when I used to.

Ladies if you don’t mind me asking, does DTD feel different after preseed has been inserted? Does it stay up top? Not a fan of lube generally... Also how much are people using?

Thats so good to hear this is my first month using it but havent tracked ovulation this month as was putting too much pressure on us when to have sex so we have jusy used it everytime we have DTD, according to my ovia app im 5dpo so will see soon i guess

I used it and caught the first month after 6 months of trying and my partner being told he has a low count. I think it must have helped us

I had two girls with Preseed.

Nic165 · 05/03/2020 08:18

@MyDcAreMarvel that's interesting as the one time I didn't use either, I had a girl

Nic165 · 05/03/2020 08:17

@MyDcAreMarvel i had boys both times I used conceive plus and SMEP

MyDcAreMarvel · 29/02/2020 22:34

No not trying to choose the sex , I was just curious as the times I used pressed when trying to conceive had 3 boys. When I didn’t use pressed when I got pregnant with my girls.

bernardswatchplease · 29/02/2020 22:04

I had a girl using it.

@MyDcAreMarvel are you trying to choose the sex of your child?

MyDcAreMarvel · 29/02/2020 21:44

Because of the alkaline nature of pressed , it’s supposed to favour Y sperm.

I thought there was all that nother about conceive plus containing parabens? Which is definitely not good or natural for conception

bernardswatchplease · 29/02/2020 18:43

@MyDcAreMarvel why do you ask if they are boys?

MyDcAreMarvel · 29/02/2020 17:23

@Nic165 are they both boys?

Nic165 · 29/02/2020 13:15

Not sure if that was clear... it was on two separate occasions i.e. I have 2 children both conceived in that way

Nic165 · 29/02/2020 13:13

We used conceive plus (similar to preseed) while doing the Sperm Meets Egg Plan (SMEP) - I highly recommend it. Got pregnant twice within 2 months

anotherypasswordtoremember · 29/02/2020 13:06

I'm a lube fan anyway so bought this when last tube of whatever we were using ran out. We did use it and I am 12 weeks now BUT I think that had more to do with ovulation strips. I used them in my December cycle and turns out I was ovulating 3 days later than my app predicted (so later than is average).

It's pretty good lube though! So no harm done. Bit pricey but a little goes a long way 😉

Redlocks28 · 29/02/2020 13:03

Pressed doesn’t increase the chances of pregnancy and does not claim to, it just doesn’t damage sperm like other lubes do.

I suppose the benefit of it is that if you don’t get much in the way of egg-white cervical mucus, it will provide a good environment for the sperm to travel in.

That was the situation I was in-I never seemed to produce much (wouldn’t have needed any of sort of lube as there was no dryness problem during sex!) so I would say this very much did increase my chances of pregnancy.

I always put a soft cup in afterwards and sleep with it in and take out in the morning and shower. I've heard it keeps the sperm close to cervix. I put 3/4 of a syringe inside me then the other quarter in the soft cup x

I’ve been trying since October, used Pre Seed the second month and got pregnant, but miscarried. Only used it without the applicators straight after miscarriage - didn’t work. Used it as before with the applicators (and exact same DTD pattern as the month I got pregnant) and I didn’t get pregnant 🤷🏻‍♀️ Soooo I think sometimes it could just be luck?!

A08x · 29/02/2020 11:28

Been trying for 6 months, used it this month first time and I’m not pregnant. Currently have AF.

Sorry for negative comment, i felt as though every comment I read about preseed was that it works first time and is the miracle to conceiving. I’m going to continue to use it next month and hope for the best 🤞🏼 Good luck to you too ❤️
