dandy... tons of us use preseed as a lubricant for sex.
There are lots of methods reputed to increase CM...
Robitussin tends to thin out what you already have.
I think grapefruit juice is one of the more popular methods (not sure how effective it is?)
umm...
Royal Jelly and Evening Primrose Oil are also popular but I can't remember if they are supposed to help with CM or not.

I tried Robitussin one cycle but forgot to take it a lot. Its only helpful pre-ovulation.
I just used preseed otherwise (and softcups on the month of my BFP)

ok thanx lisa, i might try the robitussen plus grapefruit juice next cycle, unless my gyn says something different, im not keen on the preseed idea...but if she says its the best we'll give it a try

 

[lisaf]

preseed is the only sperm-friendly lubricant.
Its actually very very popular on BnB
Why aren't you keen on it? Is it the idea of using lube at all?

 

[dandybrush]

thats some of it, and the fact that it makes more like, forced? less natural? i dunno, i dont like the idea of squirting it up there before we do it

 

[lisaf]

ah... well.. I found the chafing to kill the mood a LOT more than a pause and a squirt
I kind of felt it was no different than pausing to put a condom on etc...

I used softcups too... talk about 'unnatural'
Mostly I found them to be a lot easier than sticking my feet up in the air

 

[dandybrush]

yep thats true, the chaffing isnt fun, its painful well i'll see what my gyn suggests and then if nothign i might try the robitussen and grapefruit first then the preseed the following cycle see what the gyn says, ill do whatever she tells me

 

[lisaf]

lol yeah... they may recommend preseed or that other brand name though... hope your GYN is up to speed with those.
ALL other regular lubricants are not recommended while TTC... they are usually hostile to sperm.

 

[dandybrush]

yep thanx lisa, i wont use anything else

 

[lisaf]

ooh, here's an idea... go into the pregnancy boards and post a poll asking how many women used preseed or conceive plus (thats the name of the other one).
That may help you make a decision too!

 

[ttcbaby117]

dandy - you might want to try the Evening primerose oil also....never uses it from the maca forum and it seems to work for her. This is my 2nd month on it so I will let you know how it helps.....It does say it take a couple of months to see results.
