But if you do use it externally, just remember that a little goes a very long way. I'm talking a pea sized amount. Otherwise, I think you'll feel very goo-y (to use Cherrybee's terminology). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorta-tmi-is-there-such-a-thing-as-too-much-ewcmlube#post-375616 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 16:26:10 +0000 lawbee11 375616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: thanks! I think that's what I am going to do--just use it externally. I'd actually prefer not to use the applicator part of it because it seems like it would take the sexiness? out of BD. Although DH and I have detailed discussions about my CM, so I am pretty sure I've already lost plenty of sexy points. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorta-tmi-is-there-such-a-thing-as-too-much-ewcmlube#post-375599 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 16:13:04 +0000 PrincessBaby 375599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: I don't know if it hurts the chances of the sperm to make it to the egg if you have too too much lube, but I used Preseed before and it comes with these applicator thingies that you fill up and then shoot up there. I had decent ewcm and using a whole applicator worth was too much as far as making everything just...sloppy? So we started using it externally and it was perfect! After both of my chemical pregnancies, my cycles were wonky and I had no ewcm, and I still just used it externally instead of using the whole applicator mess, and I still got my BFP:) So I would just think you would want to use it externally, as you said, and it would totally not be necessary for you to use an entire "application" each time:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorta-tmi-is-there-such-a-thing-as-too-much-ewcmlube#post-375579 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 16:01:15 +0000 lawbee11 375579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: Haha that totally makes sense! I hope you are right! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorta-tmi-is-there-such-a-thing-as-too-much-ewcmlube#post-374513 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 09:38:14 +0000 Cherrybee 374513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm loving the "Knockout" imagery!!! Hahahaha!!!! But I'd imagine the opposite is true - after all, sperm's primary method of travel is swimming in goo so, surely, the more goo there is (with the correct pH etc) the easier they'd find it to swim?? Using your Knockout that imagery, I guess it would be like building a concrete path through the Knockout assault course so the contestants could easily use their primary method of travel eg running? </p> <p>I've made this all up, by the way. I have no evidence either way! But this is my guess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorta-tmi-is-there-such-a-thing-as-too-much-ewcmlube#post-374490 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 09:26:09 +0000 wahine08 374490@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think if you just use a small amount externally, it should be fine. You're lucky to have lots of EWCM! I needed the preseed and used the applicator. I did like it, though. Better then other lubes that are sticky and weird. I really think preseed helped us get our BFP! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorta-tmi-is-there-such-a-thing-as-too-much-ewcmlube#post-374468 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 09:13:35 +0000 heartonastring 374468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: Yeah, at the time both DH and I were pissed off about the YI....so much discomfort. But in the end, it was totally worth it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorta-tmi-is-there-such-a-thing-as-too-much-ewcmlube#post-374464 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 09:11:59 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 374464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really like Preseed. I used it internally once and it felt like too much. I use it externally from time to time now and that isn't as bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorta-tmi-is-there-such-a-thing-as-too-much-ewcmlube#post-374461 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 09:10:00 +0000 lawbee11 374461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hergreenapples: That's what I like to hear! (The part about the BFP, not the yeast infection!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorta-tmi-is-there-such-a-thing-as-too-much-ewcmlube#post-374374 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 08:18:46 +0000 heartonastring 374374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only issue I can think of with using preseed on top of already having a good amount of EWCM is the potential for a yeast infection. I ended up with a nasty one when we used preseed and passed it on to DH :( On the other hand, that was also the cycle that gave us our BFP! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorta-tmi-is-there-such-a-thing-as-too-much-ewcmlube#post-374355 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 08:08:55 +0000 lawbee11 374355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: I was thinking more of using the Preseed externally in place of saliva--since you can't really use EWCM externally. But I don't want it to be overkill. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorta-tmi-is-there-such-a-thing-as-too-much-ewcmlube#post-374333 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 07:55:52 +0000 JoJoGirl 374333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't use saliva, that kills sperm. If you have EWCM, don't bother with the pre-seed, you don't need it! I don't think there is such a thing as too much, but if you make your own, don't buy it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sorta-tmi-is-there-such-a-thing-as-too-much-ewcmlube#post-374326 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 07:52:47 +0000 lawbee11 374326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I have been blessed (or not?) with a ton of EWCM in the days leading up to O. DH and I are going to start TTC in a couple of months, and I am considering ordering Preseed because we normally use some sort of lube even if it's just saliva (sorry if that's TMI!).</p> <p>I know this isn't how it works, but I always visualize an episode of Knockout--like the sperm are trying to swim and they just keep slipping back and can't get to the egg! Do you think there is such a thing as too much EWCM/Preseed? Do you think I should not use Preseed or maybe just use it externally? </p>
