My DP and i have been trying to convieve for 8 months but i suffered 2 chemical pregnancies in that time. Ive been overweight and a heavy smoker but have lost a dress size and am in the process of stopping smoking.
Every CP is killing me emotionally and i want to fall pregnant more than anything.
I brought some pre-seed today and wondered if anyone has or is using it and their opinion on it and also do i use it all the time or just when im ovulating?

‘In the process of stopping snoking’ - just stop smoking, if you do get pregnant you don’t want to be smoking anyway. Smoking causes inflammation and makes t harder to conceive.

Thanks i know exactly what ur saying but im doing it through the NHS the way they are telling me to have a more longterm result of quitting.
I wonder if you have ever been a smoker and if so how did u quite? Im open to advice if you have any?!

DH and I use preseed every time, we really like it as a lube, although it hasn't been lucky for us. I tend to only use the applicators around fw though.

Re. giving up smoking, I just quit one day. I used to smoke about 20 a day for ten years. I've had the odd one every now and then but not while we've been ttc.

Thank you i dont really need it as a lube vut heard it helps trying to concieve. Ive been told i have a naturally really high cervix so further for the swimmers to go lol.
How long have u been ttc if u dont mind me asking?
I really want to quite and think i can cos im desperate to have baby but ive been smoking 20 a day for about 14 yrs and i suffer with stress, depression and anxiety which ive always used smoking to help. Just need to break the habit of having 1 rather than the nicotine addiction

Hi @Lotus1990 I used pre seed. Was ttc for about a year then tried pre seed and conceived first month. Sadly lost that pregnancy around 6/7weeks. But I think it defo helped. I used it just around fertile week.
It's defo Worth a shot.
Advice on smoking. I was a smoker for 10 years 20 a day and I read a book. Allan Carr... easy way to stop smoking. I can say nothing except it was the weirdest thing. Be open minded... but you read the book and then you don't smoke any more. No cravings no missing it. Best thing I ever done. I have been a non smoker for nearly 2 years and never looked back. I have however gone up a dress size!! Because I used to smoke instead of eat.
Good luck on all your journeys. It's a lot of mountains to climb at the same time. 🤞 for your sticky bean. Xx

You only need to use it when you're ovulating/fertile. No need to help sperm swim to an egg that isn't there.

But losing weight and quitting smoking are probably the larger factors here and will have significantly more benefit for you.

Well done for trying to quit smoking! I wish I could give up the caffeine which is just as bad!

I have used both preseed and conceive plus but no joy here :( but have heard good things.
