I am swaying for a boy and want to hear about any experience with either preseed or conceive plus especially swaying for a boy.

I've used both and both worked.
I think if you want to gender sway then timing is the more important factor than brand of lube.

Lube isn’t going to sway boy or girl. That’s just going to depend on which sperm gets there first. Some people think timing of sex can influence it but it’s really just down to the fastest swimmer.

fwiw I’ve used pre-seed twice and got pregnant both times first time.

@PickledScrump thanks for the information. Would you recommend preseed from your experience.

@Woofoof i would definitely recommend. Tried for two months then Used it once and got pregnant with my second baby, then used it once in the first month trying for my third and got pregnant straight away again. The only thing I did the same both times was use pre seed. Both pregnancies have been really smooth currently 38 weeks with the third

Maybe a coincidence also.

Conceive Plus is a scam of a company.

This is going to sound like a troll post but I swear it's true...

Trying to conceive our second pregnancy, the first cycle that we used Conceive Plus, I fell pregnant with triplets! No other fertility aids, no multiples in the family before that point either. Obviously Conceive Plus wasn't a factor in either hyper ovulation or the egg splitting (we think the triplets were an identical pair plus a fraternal, but only the identical pair made it in the end), but seems to have been pretty effective at the rest!

@LittleRedY0shi OMG 😳 it does sounds unreal. Glad the twins were fine and sorry for the other twin. Was it just the first cycle of trying?

We used pressed and got pregnant first month and third month trying.

Boy/girl is always going to be 50/50

We had girls both times

@Cowlover89 at least you got them…. Mine were stuck on ‘order processing’ for 3 weeks. I asked if they were going to arrive or could I have a refund and got fobbed off. I put a review on Trust Pilot- next thing I know I was being threatened by some ‘ceo’ of Conceive Plus and Trust Pilot had to step in. I proved everything my side and I had such ann abusive email from CP simply because I wouldn’t take my review down. Pursued a charge back with my bank and got my money back eventually. Horrible, shitty company that exist to take advantage of people.

Used Preseed and got pregnant second cycle of using it both times - used from first cycle with first child (girl) and conceived second cycle, then used from fifth cycle with second child (currently 23 weeks pregnant with a boy) and conceived sixth cycle, so potentially could have been earlier if started sooner. So I recommend it :)

We conceived first month of using preseed, could just be a coincidence but I'd always recommend it as something to try.

That sounds amazing. Did you use ovulation tracking as well?

DD was conceived the first time we used preseed. She’s a healthy (and somewhat wild!) 9mo now 😁

Yes, I used the clear blue digital ovulation tests too and would recommend them as well.

Came across this thread as looking into comparisons after getting through preseed tube used over 3 cycles and no success😞

May I ask, all that had success with preseed, how did you use it ie inserted before dtd or after (sorry if asking tmi, just want to ensure I'm maximising my chances)

Thanks
