Pre-seed does it really help?

I'm ttc no 3, I've never conceived straight away but I'm very impatient this time. We have. Completely missed the fertile periods the last few months, which is probably the issue. However I don't seem to make the EWCM I did in my youth. Do you think it could help. Last time I used conceive plus but ironically it was the month I didn't use it I fell pregnant.

No one uses it then? Won't bother with it. Any tips for improving EWCM?

We tried for 13 months for our second baby, month 14 we used pre-seed on a recommendation and conceived that month. It's truly disgusting to use though!

Used it last cycle didn't work for me.. I'll try again this cycle. Evening primrose helped my cm x

We used it from cycle 1 and it took8 cycles to conceive but it's impossible to say if it helped. I believe it's worth a try and would use again.

I'm not sure. We used it 3 cycles and nothing, 4th cycle we didn't use it and got pregnant. But could be coincidence. I've heard evening primrose and cough medicine with a certain ingredient in (can't remember name) can help increase CM

We tried one month without it, and then I conceived the first month we tried using it. It is not the most pleasant stuff!
We normally use lube anyways and I read that normal lube can kill sperm, hence trying the other stuff.
Actually it wasn't pre-seed but the other one you can buy conceive-plus maybe? I can't remember now.

Thanks everyone, it is about £18 so worth a shot I suppose. I take evening primrose oil but still don't get the stretchy stuff.

Heard great things about grapefruit juice for CM so going to try that next month

Saw this in Active - conceived first time both times while using Preseed. Obviously no idea of whether it helped.

I've posted this before, I don't work for them or anything!

Tried for 4.5 years to conceive ds1
Used preseed first month of trying with ds2! So worked first time for us x
