Pre-seed. I've read something in the leaflet that has me concerned?

[Vestirse]

I personally like preseed, but Hubby and I only used when we felt that maybe a little help was needed. That was usually during the days leading up to Ov. A day or so before Ov, we mostly cut it out as 1) hubby can't be arsed to stop to put the damned stuff in and 2) it wasn't helping as I was plenty lubricated on my own. That said Lyns, I DID have two chemicals of preseed before this one turned up. I wonder if you have a point...

Well, I asked my FS about this yesterday, and interestingly enough, he and some colleagues have just completed a study of all vaginal lubricants.

He confirmed that, as expected, KY is practically spermicide, and said that pre-seed is the best of them all, but use with caution and most importantly...externally only.

He said (in his words) that it is "an express elevator" for sperm good and bad, and whilst it does indeed assist in getting more sperm to the destination in cases of dryness, it interferes with the bodies own ability to filter out the guys that shouldn't make it! Hence increased early mc risk.

His opinion was no CM was infinitely preferable to any of the lubes.

thanks Lyns for sharing this info. I of course will now wonder if it could have been the cause of my early m/c...I won't dwell on it, no point, but I think I am going to leave preseed aside for now. I don't get ewcm, but I have plenty of watery cm, no problem with dryness, so will leave nature to decide.

Wow!!! Now I'm scared... I got my bfp this month after using preseed during my fertile week. I'm praying this is a real pregnancy and doesn't miscarry. Has anyone ever used preseed and carry the baby to term?? I only tried preseed because I don't have ewcm.

anyone ever heard of using real eggwhite?

anyone ever heard of using real eggwhite?

Yeah, Applegirl tried it a couple of cycles back, in a lube emergency. Not overly recommended though as it is a wee bit of an infection risk....

FBbaby, dont panic hun.....its not that its guaranteed a problem, just there seem to be more slightly instances of it if you have used something like that. You can't undo it now.....and I'm sure all will be fine.

I'm with Lyns on this one - well in fact my DH brought up the fact that it could let the not so strong swimmers through who normally get killed off. However if you need lube to BD use it - you got to be able to BD!!!
I have recently bought Zestica which is new and like preseed. It is the EXTERNAL one - I literally need a bit of wetness to get started - once he's in things are fine. We have also used warm water.
If you are already pregnant having used pre-seed I wouldn't worry yourself, plenty of ladies have used it and now have a baby!
FF says that watery CM is also fertile cm and sometimes most of the time that's all i get. As Lyns says, the fertile Cm is needed by the cervix for the swimmers to succeed. But we need lube outside as well to BD.

Also the first month DH and I BD without a condom before i knew anything about TTC we were using Durex tingle lube and i got pg! Go figure!
(before you all hate me it ended in MC and took me 16more months to get pg again which also ended in MC and i am TTC again but my cycles are messed up )

A gentle reminder that ladies in here have issues and also that we are all very sensitive in here because we aren't having an easy TTC journey like others!

My dh has low sperm count 16 million...normal is 40 million. We used pre-seed 3 pack during the day before, during and after ovulation along with my first cycle of clomid and bam! I got pregnant. I think preseed had a lot to do with it too, considering I was so dry with the clomid. We have been trying for 1 1/2 years and I was overjoyed when I tested positive last week.

This is such an interesting thread.

I also used Preseed for the first time in February and got pregnant - I also went on to miscarry.............

I have been using preseed for the last 3 months and no BFP as of yet. The tube is nearly finished and I was thinking of buying more but to be honest after reading through this thread - I don't think I'll bother.

Thanks for all the excellent information.
