Has anyone had any success with the conceive plus fertility lubricant?

If you've found this page in search of lubes that have been tried and tested by fellow Mumsnet users, you might find our guide to the best lubes useful. Hope this helps! MNHQ

I may be wrong but I don't think it actually aids conception, it's just sperm friendly. So if you want to use a lubricant, it's a good one to use.

Used when TTC both of my lovely children 😀

TinoTheArtisticMouse · 10/08/2018 20:46

Yes. When ttc dc1 we didn't use it cycle 1, 2, 3. Used it cycle 4 and got bfp but unfortunately had a chemical pregnancy. Used cycle 5 and got another bfp that stuck.
When ttc dc2 we used it cycle 1 and got bfp straight away.
Could obviously be coincidence but i obviously rate it.

It's not really meant to aid conception. It just doesn't kill the sperm, like normal lubricant does (apparently). If you don't usually use any lubricant, it shouldn't make a difference...(although I'm now getting an image of little sperm sliding down a waterslide, going "wheeee"...Grin )

TTC for 8 months, used fertility lube for one month and got a positive result. I’m certain it’s the reason we conceived.

Amazon has positive stories aswell.
I might give it a go, £20 isn't loads of money if it helps!

We used pre-seed to conceive DD2. No idea if it was that that made the difference but certainly worth a try.

Justincase87 · 10/08/2018 22:00

I got the impression that it replicates EWCM so if you don’t have much it gives the sperm a better environment to survive in - I may be wrong though!

polkadotpixie · 10/08/2018 22:01

We used it because I don't get EWCM. Not sure if it helped but it can't do any harm 😊

RoxytheRexy · 10/08/2018 22:03

Used it here. We have a 2 year old and I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant

ADuckNamedSplash · 10/08/2018 22:04

We conceived very easily whilst using Pre-Seed and will definitely be using it again the next time we TTC.

Littleloaf · 10/08/2018 22:14

Trying for 4 months and got pregnant the first time we used Pre-seed.

AliTheMinx · 10/08/2018 22:18

We only used it once and that was when our LO was conceived. I remember also keeping my legs in the air for about quarter of an hour Smile Good luck, OP!

widgetbeana · 10/08/2018 22:19

Preseed was a winner for us too! Twice.,

Used to buy it from a site called access diagnostics. It was hard to get hold of 8 years ago, my Gyn told me to get it!

FaithEverPresent · 10/08/2018 22:22

It is not a magic bullet. It won’t help with fertility problems on its own. Normal lubricants hinder sperm motility, if you need lubricant, use this stuff because it doesn’t hinder sperm in the same way.

By the way, it’s frigging freezing and needs warming up a bit before you use it! Grin

sleepymama38473 · 10/08/2018 22:34

We were TTC for two years used this once and now have my DD. Probably a complete coincidence but at the same time it certainly didn't hinder us.

CoffeeWithMyOxygen · 10/08/2018 22:41

Just to give the other perspective, we’ve been TTC for over a year with no luck and have used with Conceive Plus or Pre Seed every time, so it’s definitely not a guarantee or a magic wand.

Beeshbash · 11/08/2018 07:52

Pre-seed didn't work the first cycle I tried it (was gutted after all the success stories I'd read on Amazon) but I did use it the cycle i got pregnant a few months later and I had a real lack of ewcm so reckon it definitely helped!

FrowningFlamingo · 11/08/2018 07:58

We conceived cycle 8 and used it cycles 7&8. I think in all honesty a lot of people start using it when it's been a while but not long enough to actually indicate a problem and were likely to conceive around that point anyway. But that's just my theory! It's not much money and can't do any harm...

GoatWithACoat · 11/08/2018 08:00

It DOES aid conception. It not only helps sperm swim more effectively it helps them survive longer.

Could be amazing coincidence but I conceived twice, both first time using it after trying for over a year both times without.

Sometimes it’s as simple as the ‘natural lube’ not being up to the job. They never test for that.

GoatWithACoat · 11/08/2018 08:31

Oh and Conceive Plus NOT pre seed is the one that helps sperm live longer.

PurpleFlower1983 · 11/08/2018 08:33

We were trying for three years, the second month we tried this I fell pregnant although it probably had to do with lots of other factors aswell.

southpacificgoat · 11/08/2018 08:37

Another preseed success. Got pregnant first try with it after trying for a few months without and realising that breastfeeding and old age (over 40) was having a negative effect. First resulted in miscarriage,at 8 weeks but I got pregnant again with it the following cycle and am currently holding my perfect little newborn.

ethelfleda · 11/08/2018 08:42

Used it - worked first time. Although if was only 4th month of trying... but certainly can't hurt!

byanyothernamerose · 11/08/2018 09:16

We conceived straight away using sweet almond oil as a lubricant. Natural and amazing!!
