 Topic: Preseed?
Posted: 26 April 2010 at 2:05pm |
Hey girls,
So I'm back on the bandwagon and we are officially TTC #3. Now since I've been lurking around the TTC posts I've heard a few mentions of Preseed lubricant. Has anyone here been using it and is it worth buying?
We occasionally use Durex play lubricant but when I googled Preseed I saw a few comments saying normal lubes like Durex can harm sperm!?!?! I had no idea. I checked the back of our durex bottle and it says it contains no spermicide so assumed it was safe to use while TTC

Hey Lisa
Pre seed is really good!  You can buy it from Baby4you on trademe.
Yep ditch the Durex Play hun....while it doesnt kill sperm necessarily I think it slows them down and wears them out before they reach their destination lol

So does pre seed actually increase chances of conception or does it just not hinder them?

I trying it out tonight LOL
But yes other lubricants can harm sperm, pressed mimics cervical mucus and does not harm sperm.
Its quite expensive and comes in little applicator tubes, which some say is more than enough and can get more than one use out of them, but preseed does not reccomend this ........ there are other brands out there.
I will add my 2cents worth after tonight if its any good

I was just having a look online and you certainly don't get much for your money! But still I might have to give it a try myself. Will be hanging out to see how it goes for you LB
I did see that they have new version just called Pre. It's more of an everyday lubricant that gives your more for your money but I think it has less of the ingredient that helps sperm so it's safe to use while TTC but not as great as the original. Might have to do some more research before I buy.
Does anyone know of any stores that stock it or do I have to buy online?

Hi i think the Life Pharmacy at Westfield Riccarton has it but it is behind the counter - not on display - so you have to ask for it.

We used Preseed for the first time this cycle and loved it. But we've never used any sort of lube before so I don't have anything to compare it to. I used half a tube a time to make it last a bit longer because it's not cheap plus I thought the whole tube was way too much!

It does seem a little insane making people pay $18 just for 3 applications! I'm having a hard time getting over the cost lol. I think I might go for the everyday version it's around 30 something dollars but you get a lot more out of it lol

You can buy it in the applicators or just in the tube which is cheaper. I tried the applicators but moved to the tube as we where going through it quite fast...

Here we go again, another baby on it's way!

We use the Preseed applicators during ovulation and the Pre in the big tube for outside of the fertile time. Its alot cheaper that way

You definitely don't need a full applicator each time....I only use half and it seems to be plenty

I only used half an applicator each time too and it was plenty. I got my BFP the first month that I started using it. We had been TTC for 23 months- 10 cycles of clomid, though in saying that I also had a LAP surgery that removed a small amount of endo too the prev month. I think it was the combination of the two....
Preseed mimics EWCM, making it easier for the sperm to swim in, normal lubes can damage and slow down sperm. Good luck!
