Review: Preseed

Preseed

by Vanessa (Incognito Mosquito!)

After taking clomid, I noticed a decrease in my cervical fluid, and since I am skeeved by the thought of putting a raw egg in my neither regions, I decided to try Preseed. I asked my DR, and he (of course) said, he'd prefer I use nothing, but he didn't see the harm if it was absolutely necessary. Being as that I was dry enough that I was scared the friction might start a fire, I decided it was worth the cost.

Originally, the company only offered single use tubes... these should be labeled MULTI-USE. If you choose to use the entire tube, which is the suggested amount, you might want to have sex with a safety net. It will be similar to a slip-n-slide for your husband. Yes, it makes for a night of entertainment, but it's a bit of a problem, if you actually plan to get the job done. Use just enough to moisten for your comfort, otherwise you are just wasting the extra. With the single use tubes, I just kept the opened tube in a zip lock bag for cleanliness. It really does make a huge difference when you need moisture, but don't want to deal with the only other safe alternative of a real egg white.

Good news is this: They now offer a multi-use tube with a screw on cap. It is still a bit on the pricey side, but it lasts for a very long time and will make all the difference in the world when you are on day 1 million of TTC.

It was a little spendy when I tried it in 2003 but I was willing to try anything. I thought the single use tubes contained too much also, so we'd use a tube over a couple of times. We had to move on to other treatments but it seems to have good reviews.

I have also used Preseed and love it! I only have the original single-use container and use maybe half of it. I have gotten BFP's several times while using it but so far they've all been m/c's due to my age. I did also want to note that my RE's nurses promotes the use of it and actually have samples in their office in case patients can't find it at stores, so clearly it's a good product!
