Let's talk preseed - in or on?

Hey ladies,

So we're cycle 7 TTC and we've just got some pre seed. The thought of putting one of those things 'up' makes me shudder.

It does say you can use it on his penis but just wanted to see people's thoughts.

☺️

We've just entered cycle 6 and used preseed throughout, no luck yet. We've been using it as lube rather than putting inside me. Mainly because it's quite pricey and the applicators would use it up after about 8 goes!

I used the applicator - it is a bit messy. However, I did fall pregnant the first month of using it both times (was TTC for 18 months the first time) so it is definitely worth doing in my opinion

I would say in for it to work properly, but use half the amount they recommend!

@BettyOBarley out of interest, did you usually get EWCM around ovulation?

No hardly any at all

Always on, never in. I never used that applicator.

We did in. However had ivf in the end so can’t say it helped!

First month using it we did on and didn't get pregnant. Second month we did "in" every time we had sex and got pregnant. Not exactly scientific but it certainly didn't hurt.

Thanks all. We used it for the first time last night (not in my fertile window just wanted to try) and just popped in on for the first go.

I definitely rate it! Just concerned of how to get it in without ruining the moment 😂

Update!

We used preseed for the first time last cycle, only on (not in) and probably about 5 times and I got my BFP Monday.

Not sure if it's related but that and pregnacare were all we did differently.

I did eat a lot healthier and did a lot more exercise, being January and all 😂

Hope that's helpful to someone!
