Preseed question

Quote:
I think the box says that it does...which is really nice because I hardly have any this cycle (clomid)

I looked it up and found a local pharmacy that was supposed to carry it, but they didn't have it and I didn't want to go ask the man at the counter I guess I'll mail order. I actually bought the 'bad' kind of lube because it is such a problem (poor bf thought it was him bc I USED to have more cm) I won't use it though around O time.

I got the liquid kind that is supposed to be like natural fluids, is it the ph that is bad for spermies, or the texture?

could you call the pharmacy and ask over the phone when they should be getting more in there??? Then it's not QUITE as embarrasing

Too late I ordered some, 1-3 days shipping!!

I am cd7 and usually O around cd10-13 so it should be here on time

i strongly think many women are under a flase alution that pre seed does more then it really does, when in fact it can be more harmful than nothing depending on the personal circumstances.

best thing is to figure out what your needs are with your own body and cycle, based on what is normal and or needed for a successful cycle and look at it from there.

What folks need to remember about PreSeeed though, and this is a important thing most are not clear about, is its just a "vaginal" lube.
PreSeed is just a sperm safe lube for the vaginal area, it is a replacement for the lubricating qualities of EWCM to reduce friction, if you need it.
It does not go into the cervix in any way, so it is not a replacement for the functions of ewcm in there. Without the fertile fluid in the cervix opening, sperm do not get through, most non fertile mucus acts like a plug to keep you clean.
This is why EPO and possibly some types of green tea (to increase) and Guaifenesin and water (to loosen) are used. It is kinda like 3 parts to a puzzle, neither replaces the other.
PreSeed should not be used for instance if you make plenty of arousal fluid and would not normally need lube that night. It helps only by it's lack of harm, you are still better off correcting the issue from the inside.

you are going to get a handful that said it did nothing for them, when that may or may not be the case (bottom line they sadly did not get preggo)
and you will find a group of girls that say it was just the ticket to their long awaited BFP. without having some scientific controls in the cycle, we will never know what worked for them.

good luck and may you have a bundle of joy soon.

The eggwhite story is absolutely awesome! I had no idea!

I bought some Pre-seed - haven't tried it yet though - because I was under the impression that it is alkalizing which is good for the spermies... I know I have a rather acidic vaginal environment and that is not good for sperm at all... the CM makes it alkaline and therefore the sperms are happy.

I guess, I will see when my fertile days arrive, whether it was worth the money or not... But, good for sperms or not, I'm sure it won't be a total waste all the other days of the month... If it's good lube, no harm done!

I don't think it would be eggy smelling, since it is the whites only. I think the smell comes more from the yolk. The directions I found say to leave an egg out on the counter for an hour to let it warm up, and then open and separate. I think you could probably use a baby medicine syringe to insert. I think you would have to be lying down already or you would just have egg white running down your leg. Which would be oh so romantic.

but... if dh did NOT know that it was egg white...

You can also purchase pasteurized egg whites in a carton. Commercially available eggs are washed and sanitized though.

I'm going to follow the TCOYF advice and take the Mucinex next cycle. Anyone trying that?
