I'm interested in lubricants! I have used Pre-Seed, and have not gotten lucky with it. I'm wondering if it's hindering more than helping, as I seem to not have an issue with CM. I'm going without lube this cycle, just to try something new.
What have you used and liked?

We don't use any while ttc, my friend's re said the only thing they condoned was mineral oil.

We've used Preseed a few cycles and never had any luck with it either. I also don't really have a problem with CM, so I wasn't sure if it really did anything. The last few cycles we didn't use any.

We try not to use any, but if it's been a million days in a row (oh the joys of TTC 
) and I need something, we use preseed

Preseed worked for us both times. We tried conceive plus and it gave me a yeast infection.

@BIBLIOLOVE We have used Preseed that past 6 months but when I went to my ob/gyn she said she didn't want us using anything 
I took Mucinex for a few days the beginning of this cycle for a head cold and have had a lot more CM so we actually didn't need to use any Preseed! So I bought some generic Robitussin and I'm going to take that around my 'window' next month instead of using Preseed if I can.

Foreplay was a good lubricant. I've read a lot about orgasm (on the woman's side) is beneficial for conceiving.

We always use Slippery Stuff lubricant. Water-based, glycerin-free, odourless, and tasteless. We have not experienced any mobility issues, and have gotten pregnant twice within a couple of months of TTC. Good luck!

If you don't have issues with mucous, I'd go without
If you do, I'd try mucinex, extended release B6 and or more water before trying lube

We didn't use it with DS1, but we did with DS2 (PreSeed). We used Sylk to conceive this time.

I drank loads of green tea in the first half of my cycle and used mucinex around ovulation to increase CM. I tend to have low amounts of CM naturally, and doing these two things caused a very noticeable difference.
