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!
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!

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!

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.

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!
I agree with @runnerd: to use less than it says. Maybe 1/2 or 1/3 the recommended amount.

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.
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 
)
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.

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.

Used it and got pregnant the second cycle. I did use the applicator (yuck). I followed the directions exactly.

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!
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.

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.

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

@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.
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!

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.
You can insert it in the bathroom.

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.

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.

I used it for three months, and our 3rd cycle we got pregnant. 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.
I would do it in the bathroom before things got started.

If you want to return it and save some money, my dr said to use olive oil because it's WAY better!
