Advice on Pre-Seed lubes for TTC Journey

[KentishDreamer30]

Hello everyone,

My partne I are now on our 2nd cycle TTC . We are trying the SMEP plan this month and I was wondering if there are any pre-seed users/successes out there? I have just bought some to give it a go as I am coming up on my fertile week. Last month, I checked my CM daily and I am not 100% sure if I had fertile CM. So figured that pre-seed might help a bit.
I'm curious to know if anyone has had success with Pre-Seed? Did it significantly help your TTC journey?

I've also come across various forum threads advising to use less than the recommended amount of Pre-Seed. For those who've used it, what was the ideal amount for you?

The instructions suggest inserting it and then squeezing out any excess. Is this step essential or would it be more beneficial to keep as much as possible inside?

Looking forward to your experiences and suggestions. xx

I didn’t have success with pre seed but conceived DS and DD with conceive plus fertility lubricant. It was a while ago but I think I preferred the applicator and I think the volume of product per application was a bit smaller and felt about right

Hi OP.

I started a thread this week asking people what they found helped in the month they got their BFP and so many suggested this preseed lubricant.
I ordered some but hasn’t arrived yet & my fertile week begins this weekend so really hoping it comes. At the minute I’m doing SMEP also but really would love the lubricant to be here before my fertile week 🙈

I used pre seed but just a little (like you’d do with normal lube) so not sure if it made any difference. I genuinely think grapefruit juice did improve my CM though which I think made more difference.

We used preseed and got pregnant on 3 occasions all within 2 months. One ended in early miscarriage but we got pregnant with a successful pregnancy the following month. All in all worked a treat.

We used this with DD alongside SMEP and conceived the 1st month we used it. We'd tried for 2 months prior but without it. I used it with the applicator and recommended amount. I definitely rate it ☺️ good luck!

@Nmmck93 Hoping your Preseed arrives on time! Regardless, best of luck with your journey! 🤞

A couple of my friends have suggested Preseed lube for TTC, but a few have also mentioned Conceive Plus. It’s tricky choosing one when you’re somewhat desperate. However, I’m now feeling encouraged after receiving some positive replies. Thanks!

I have used preseed with the applicators, recommended amount for all pregnancies. Son in 2020, 5 miscarriages last year and now 21 weeks with second son. I also used it alongside the fertilily cup, well a knock off version! good luck

I'm also trying preseed this month..its my second cycle trying..just wandered if u got pregnant after

How did you get on after ttc

I gave Pre-Seed a go, but unfortunately, we didn't have any luck with it. Followed the instructions to a tee, but it just wasn't our miracle solution. Sending you loads of positive vibes on your TTC journey. xx.

Sorry to hear this did you manage to have a baby after I hope so

Both times I switched to SMEP together with using Pre Seed I conceived within 2 cycles (both times had been trying for 6+ months beforehand)

Sorry whats smear method

Sorry whats smep

It's called the Sperm Meets Egg Plan method. Have a look online, and you'll see what she mean. It could be rather helpful for your TTC journey.

Another one here that has more success with grapefruit juice at increasing EWCM. Evening primrose oil before ovulation too, and make sure you drink enough water. For the belt and braces approach I also use pre seed and because the EWCM seems to reduce day before/of ovulation, but find it very sticky and generally not a nice texture. Conceive plus was better but much more expensive (individual applicators). I don’t like all the plastic waste.
