I am super dry so we have to use something every single time, it sucks. I didn't use the full amount, less then half.</p> <p>I would do it in the bathroom before things got started. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preseed#post-1242188 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 15:03:35 +0000 Shutterbug 1242188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used it with the applicator just up to the 1 marker I think? I never really have much EWCM, but preseed wasn't the magic factor for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preseed#post-1242175 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 14:59:54 +0000 jhd 1242175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we used it from when we started ttc. we got our bfp in the third month actively trying. i didn't use the applicator, just used a little before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preseed#post-1242003 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 14:21:59 +0000 Alivoo01 1242003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used it with the applicator and not the entire suggested amount. That was way too much and leaked out like crazy!! Ew! I didn't use it the month we got our BFP.</p> <p>You can insert it in the bathroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preseed#post-1241896 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 13:57:48 +0000 dc yoga bee 1241896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Littlebit: $19.99 for preseed and $29.99 for opk. The reviews online for target brand opk strips were horrible, and we dont have time to order them online since,going out of town.</p> <p>Thanks for all the responses, keep them coming! I have little cm, but its never ew. I dont know how Im going to use opks and preseed at my in laws house this week! !! Do i need to apply it in the bathroom or could i do it all lying down. Because then,we could be unromantic, and do it that way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preseed#post-1241876 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 13:52:01 +0000 kodybear 1241876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i used it for 2-3 cycles b4 i got my bfp. the cycle i got my bfp was the only cycle i followed the directions completely (wait 15 min after using the applicator). i think it helped but not sure if it was completely the reason we got our bfp </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preseed#post-1241793 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 13:31:13 +0000 Littlebit 1241793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I purchased some to use this month...trying it out tonight. I also have very little to no EWCM so I figured it can't hurt. $50 is a lot! Was it $50 just for the preseed? Or was that for the OPK's also? My preseed was $19.99, and I usually buy cheap wondfopks on ebay or amazon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preseed#post-1241791 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 13:30:56 +0000 MCD919 1241791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess it depends on how much ewcm you have. I always had a decent amount, but picked up pre-seed anyway after hearing good things about it. I used it with the applicator for maybe 2 cycles, without results. After that I just used it like regular lube as needed. I don't even remember if I used it the cycle I conceived... I don't think I'd buy it again for TTC. It wasn't the 'miracle cure' for me!<br /> ETA: I would also recommend using the cheap OPKs leading up to O, because you can test often... then use a digital to confirm once the lines look close to the same. That's what I did, and only used 1-2 expensive OPKs per cycle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preseed#post-1241707 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 13:12:42 +0000 Arden 1241707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Used it and got pregnant the second cycle. I did use the applicator (yuck). I followed the directions exactly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preseed#post-1241706 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 13:12:35 +0000 spaniellove 1241706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used it on and off and needed it badly the month we got our sticky BFP because the meds messed up my EWCM (never had a problem with it before. I didn't bother with the applicator and just used a little bit just before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preseed#post-1241686 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 13:06:29 +0000 lovehoneybee 1241686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never had a lot of EWCM. I used it twice, and both months I got BFPs (I lost the first one). I won't credit it specifically to the Preseed but I definitely don't think it hurt. </p> <p>I only used 1/3 of the applicator and put it in 10-15 minutes before we had sex (which did take a bit of the spontaneity out of it, but D didn't know so just for me ;) )</p> <p>Even if it didn't "work", it was still a great, sperm-friendly lube...after so long and so often trying things it kept things from getting...chafed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preseed#post-1241678 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 13:04:34 +0000 Adira 1241678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used it the month I got my BFP! It was one of the few things I did differently from the previous months, so I definitely think it helped!</p> <p>I agree with @runnerd: to use less than it says. Maybe 1/2 or 1/3 the recommended amount. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preseed#post-1241675 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 13:03:58 +0000 lawbee11 1241675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used it the month we got our BFP. We just used it externally, so I did not use the applicator. I always had a good amount of EWCM, though. I actually liked the Preseed! Way better than a lot of other lubes, IMO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preseed#post-1241671 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 13:03:33 +0000 mlm2934 1241671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought it, and the month I used it I got my BFP, but I don't credit that - I didn't use it but maybe twice. I used about 1/3 applicator like a lot of the bees recommend. It is awesome lube though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/preseed#post-1241656 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 13:00:52 +0000 dc yoga bee 1241656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted to get an updated survey of those that are using or have used preseed. I just picked some up on my lunchbreak along with digital opks (can never decipher those lines) and it was $50! Making a baby costs more than what they said in health ed! </p> <p>Did you use the applicator? How much do you use? Do you think it helped you get ypur bfp (if you have got yours yet)? I just dont notice much ewcm so we are trying it for month 2! Any insight welcome! </p>
