Many swear by it. You can use it both externally and internally (no need to use the full amount for internal use--it's a lot!) FYI--it does have parabens in it.

We used it and still do. It didn't help us conceive since we went through IVF. But it is a lubricant that doesn't irritate me or DH. I've read that other people think it helped them conceive. Good luck!

We used it cause we have to use lube cause I so dry. So it worked for us!

I got pregnant on the first cycle we used it. Other factors may have played into conception, but it certainly didn't hurt!

We've used Preseed, Conceive Plus, and now Yes Baby. The first 2 have parabens, so that made me not buy them again. I really like Yes Baby, especially since I feel much cleaner the next morning (vs the other two). Plus, the packaging is adorable.

Totally worth it. We used it externally only and it worked!

It never worked for us but it is a really really nice lube. Feels more natural and less slimy.

@Mrs.Someone: Another vote for Yes Baby. I've used Yes regular for years because it is the only thing that doesn't irritate me. Started Yes Baby last cycle. Can't say if it helps fertility or not because I've only used it 1 month so far.

We used it and got lucky on the first cycle. I second not using as much as it calls for if you use it internally.

@Mrs.Someone: can you explain what all is included in the Yes Baby box? It says there are sperm friendly applicators--are those for one type of lube? There's also a product to use AFTER ovulation--is that for sex, or for daily use? Very curious, although I wish I could buy single products (I don't need the ovulation kit, and don't think I need all the applicators!)

@Happygal: I agree, its totally confusing! In the box are 7 (I think?) "sperm friendly" pre-filled applicators for baby-making. Then there are 3 "vagina friendly" applicators for after baby-making time. Also there are a few OPKs.
I like the pre-filled applicators since they are less messy to use

@Mrs.Someone: thanks for clearing that up for me! I'll admit--when I read "sperm friendly applicators," my mind first went to thinking that it was something for my husband, and oh, my imagination went into overdrive....

We used it and it didn't help us get our BFP. However, I do like the lube, only if I insert it internally prior to DTD. If I have hubby apply it, he finds it sticky and not as comfortable.

I used it both months I got BFPs, and while I don't attribute our success with it's use, it did make it a much more comfortable experience for me (after a year trying sex was starting to feel more like a chore and the frequency was making my lady bits uncomfortable...I needed the extra lubrication.)
ETA: But I never used the full suggested amount. I used about a third of it.

@Mrs.Someone thanks for the suggestion about Yes Baby!! I did not know that pre-seed had parabens in it

@littleredhairedgrl: Happy to help! I heard about it from someone else on HB first My favorite thing about it is that it isn't sticky like Preseed or Conceive plus. Feels more natural.

Bumping. Anyone else have good luck with this or Conceive Plus? Just ordered some CP today and am hoping it makes the difference for next cycle.
