Did anyone have success (or failure) with pre-seed, conceive plus etc?

Did anyone have success with either of these?

If so, how long were you TTC for before you used?

(And, out interest, did you have a boy or a girl? I read pre-seed means you’re more likely to get a boy! Wondered if - anecdotally - that might be the case...)

@InfertileGP any news? Hoping the switch will help you maybe 🤞🏻

Crayon7 · 21/08/2020 14:23

Will try it until I run out the preseed. I know I should have thought too much about it but read so many good reviews just thought this may be it.

We tried Preseed for 2 months after 10 months of TTC and no success so switching to conceive plus this month to see if it makes any difference.

Conceived first try with Pre seed , after 6 months poas x

I concieved my DS on tje first cycle we used Preseed, it was the 4th cycle overall.

Using it for the first time again this cycle and hoping im as lucky this tiem round, been ttc #2 for 7 cycles this time round. I had an early loss last month so really hoping my cycle is back to nearly normal this month.

@MarshmallowsOnToast thank you! Will give it a try and see how I get on x

MarshmallowsOnToast · 20/07/2020 08:01

@whambam89

No, not all the way through thankfully.

Following confirmed ovulation, you eat it for 5 days after. There's loads of info online if you get stuck.

Another thing I tried was grapefruit juice to increase EWCM which did have a small impact but not enough to warrant the expense in my opinion but YMMV.

Hey everyone. Random question but do you eat the pineapple core throughout the cycle? Or just FW or TWW? Not heard of that before!

Good luck!

Nat4392 · 19/07/2020 17:54

I’ve been eating pineapple cores the last 2 cycles, also eating Brazil nuts, hopefully it works!

Crayon7 · 19/07/2020 17:23

I am trusting preseed this cycle so we will see 🤞🏻

AlwaysLay8 · 19/07/2020 16:49

@MarshmallowsOnToast thanks for the 🍍 tip, just bought myself some tasty pineapples!

MarshmallowsOnToast · 19/07/2020 15:05

Sorry it didn't work for you. Have you looked into pineapple core?

It's the only thing I did differently on the cycle I conceived.

It's cheap & easy so worth a go!

Nat4392 · 19/07/2020 14:52

I’ve been using both alternately for months now and still nothing 👎🏼

AmesK · 19/07/2020 14:49

@Vea1601 Ah ok, good tip! Will give it a go, thank you :)

Vea1601 · 19/07/2020 14:36

@AmesK just use a clean finger instead of the applicator. However, I thought it looked iffy but it was actually fine x

AmesK · 19/07/2020 14:22

Ooh just seen this thread! Had a quick question. Anyone got a BFP using preseed externally only? This’ll be my first month using it but the applicators look uncomfortable Confused

Maybe I’ll get preseed instead this month and see how that works! I didn’t use an applicator for conceive plus as it didn’t come with one... maybe the secret is in the applicator to get lots in further up Blush

Good luck, Always and Vea (I’ve been TTC about that long too!) I’ve got my fingers crossed for you both! 🤞🤞
