I started using Pre-Seed Cycle 6. I used it internally, every time we had sex, and got pregnant that cycle!

I wish there was a way to buy more applicators. I'm out of applicators but not the tube! I wish I didn't have to buy another bottle just to get more applicators but it says to not reuse them and I DON'T want to risk getting an infection!

I started using it this month (cycle 6), internally, every time we had sex within the window, and it didn't work (yet). But I have a luteal phase defect, which preseed couldn't fix, so don't take that as a vote against preseed. I'll still use it once I get the LP fixed.

I used it internally and I hated the feeling of it! It grossed me out. We use it externally as needed now. I haven't gotten pregnant, but that has nothing to do with Preseed. My husband and I have fertility issues that Preseed can't fix. I like using it as a line because other lubes irritate my skin.

My doctor said to use olive oil because it's the closest thing to what your body makes. i was going to use pre-seed but she said this was better! Worked the second month, both times i ovulated

We used it all the months we were trying but only during fertile time. Got pregnant during cycle #3. Don't use as much, internally, as it says though. We used half and it was more then enough.

@Smurfette: Did you run out of applicators though? That is my problem. We only use about half the recommended amount too.

@Mrs.VW: Nope, but my husband travels during the week so our BD'ing is limited to just the weekends. It came with a lot and we didn't run out since we would only use 2 or 3 a month since we only had the weekends.

We just used them starting this cycle around the time I was fertile. Don't know if it worked yet (I'm 8dpo), but I agree that you don't need to use their recommended amount because it's a lot! Which means it'll come right back out of you and make a mess all over your bathroom floor.

I forget when I started Pre-Seed, but when I got my BFP, I did the following:
used Pre-Seed with applicator, charted, tried to relax, and laid on my tummy afterwards. I found out I had an inverted uterus and read laying on your tummy is supposed to help (as opposed to elevating your hips). Well, I got pregnant after that one time I tried it.

We used canola oil. Like olive oil like @blackbird suggested but without smelling like a mediterranean restaurant! I think it's the only lubricant that has been studied and shown not to have an effect on sperm mobility.

We just started using it this cycle as well so we shall see! We didn't use the recommended amount either - actually I'm not sure if anyone does. I used it internally as I think it gets to where it is needed the most We liked it and we normally do not use lube. We may only use it during fertile periods but not sure.

Sorry to thread jack, but has anyone experienced yeast infections after using Pre-Seed? I got one last cycle right after all the BDing and I used it for the first time that cycle. I don't usually get yeast infections unless I take antibiotics, or once in a while after my period ends.
I'm wondering if all the...moisture...contributed to the yeast infection.

Every time, internally, and first month of TTC was a BFP. I was also hideously sick with a cold, and taking robitussin.

We have used PreSeed, but as months passed by I began taking away things to see if it would help...just as I added things to see if they would help (PreSeed, Fertilitea, etc.)
I did enjoy using it, but not constantly purchasing applicator refills. We will probably use it as we move forward, but now that I've started the testing with an RE, I may hold off until I know more. For me, I don't think using PreSeed will be the reason I get pregnant.

@crumbs: I'd never heard that before and I have an inverted uterus. Did it leak out more laying on your stomach? I'm going to have to try that.

Didn't use it as recommended, just as regular lube, since it's supposed to be more sperm-friendly. It took some months, but I'm 20 weeks now. I wouldn't call it the one magic thing that got me pregnant, but I figured it wouldn't hurt!
