I used my usual remedy, but I think the options we have available in Canada differ from those available in the US. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-friendly-lubricant#post-591348 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 10:23:56 +0000 mrs. bird 591348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: yea, the applicators are a bit of a buzz kill :D I have only used the applicator before DH came in the room when I knew we were going to BD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-friendly-lubricant#post-591322 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 10:18:52 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 591322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hergreenapples: I have always liked Diflucan. What were what your medication options since you were preggers? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-friendly-lubricant#post-591281 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 10:08:49 +0000 cascademom 591281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we got pregnant, we used no external lubrication, but just the body's own. My OB recommended it to me and worked within a couple of weeks after seeing her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-friendly-lubricant#post-591276 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 10:07:43 +0000 littlebittyhouse 591276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we got a BFP using preseed. just used externally though - no applicator </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-friendly-lubricant#post-591271 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 10:06:10 +0000 Mrs.Someone 591271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Conceive Plus simply because the applicators are less "mood-killing" than Pre-Seed. It seems important to me to get it up near the cervix (since it is trying to mimic CM), so an applicator is necessary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-friendly-lubricant#post-591211 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 09:46:41 +0000 heartonastring 591211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got our bfp the month we used pre-seed. Obviously not sure if that's what led to the bfp, and it was only our second month of TTC.</p> <p>Just wanted to add the caveat that I ended up having a TERRIBLE reaction to pre-seed that led to the worst yeast infection I've ever had and that refused to improve for over a week. That, despite the fact that I was very careful about showering/cleaning up after BDing, and used way less than the recommended amount of pre-seed. Then again, we got our bfp, so the yeast infection ended up being worth it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-friendly-lubricant#post-591183 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 09:42:04 +0000 LazyLightning 591183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also pre-seed and also a bfp the first month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-friendly-lubricant#post-591179 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 09:41:06 +0000 Adira 591179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used pre-seed as well! Feels natural and we got our BFP the month we used it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-friendly-lubricant#post-591155 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 09:36:17 +0000 Alivoo01 591155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used pre-seed and the hubby didn't notice the difference when I used the applicator. Hubby thought it was a little stick if we applied it without the applicator though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-friendly-lubricant#post-591113 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 09:17:50 +0000 lawbee11 591113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used pre-seed the month we got our BFP. We didn't use the applicator, though, just used it externally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-friendly-lubricant#post-591043 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 08:32:23 +0000 Ash 591043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use preseed and really like it. I hate using the applicators but if you're just wanting it for lube, I'd say that'd you would just use it externally.<br /> Yes yes baby gets good reviews but daaaaaaang, that stuff is pricey!!<br /> I've also heard that olive oil is the most natural but I am unfamiliar with it being family-friendly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-friendly-lubricant#post-591027 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 08:14:49 +0000 blackbird 591027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs bird, I bought a teeny little $3 bottle or so from the grocery store! It had like, 4 oz in it maybe? It was cheap and the doctor said it's the most natural and most like your own body's lubricant. We always put a towel down with it, though. </p> <p>We got the "extra light" kind so it didn't smell like the base to an italian dressing :P and I didn't mind it on my skin; i just rubbed it in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-friendly-lubricant#post-591012 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 08:01:16 +0000 Smurfette 591012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used preseed, just don't use as much as it says. We used maybe half and it was plenty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-friendly-lubricant#post-590998 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 07:50:49 +0000 Happygal 590998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the feel of PreSeed and used the applicator, only using about half the amount. Then I realized it has parabens in it. Yuck.</p> <p>Conceive Plus didn't feel as natural to me. I've never tried Conceivease: <a href="http://www.conceivease.com/faqs.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.conceivease.com/faqs.php</a></p> <p>This one looks the most promising to me (paraben free): <a href="http://www.yesyesyes.org/yesbaby.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.yesyesyes.org/yesbaby.htm</a></p> <p>Or go with olive oil! We always have that on hand., and it definitely is the most cost effective solution. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-friendly-lubricant#post-590965 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 07:07:06 +0000 mrs. bird 590965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: what did you put it in? I'm just imagining our big bottle of EVO on the nightstand and it's making me giggle. Maybe a little bottle just for BDing? It'd still be less $$ than pre seed, we're out &amp; that stuff's $$$$! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-friendly-lubricant#post-590959 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 06:56:13 +0000 blackbird 590959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doc said to use olive oil! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-friendly-lubricant#post-590940 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 06:23:28 +0000 PrincessBaby 590940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We still use preseed even though we are not TTC (LO is 12weeks. Old) bc it's not sticky at all...Feels more natural:)</p> <p>When we were TTC, I didn't use the applicator thingies- it puts WAY too much in there! We just used as needed straight from the tube bc we found that it doesn't take that much...Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-friendly-lubricant#post-590939 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 06:22:54 +0000 Bao 590939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted pre-seed :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fertility-friendly-lubricant#post-590936 Mon, 25 Feb 2013 06:04:39 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 590936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Please recommend a fertility-friendly lubricant. Not necessarily looking for a BFP guarantee, rather just comfort.</p> <p>(Amazon had primarily positive, but mixed reviews for the two brands in the poll; but DH wanted a HB recommendation :-) </p>
