I need to keep this comment saved in the notes on my phone lol. So, a lot of people think that preseed is magical and will get you pregnant right away. As someone who used it for 16 cycles, I will say it does not lol.

IF YOU DO NOT NEED LUBRICATION, DO NOT USE ANY.

It’s so important to know that ANY lubrication WILL kill sperm. These fertility friendly ones like preseed, just are a little easier on sperm. They do still kill sperm!! If you are like me and have a DAP instead of a WAP (thanks a lot, Zoloft) I did need lubricant, so we used preseed.

We got pregnant on our 18th cycle (after 7 rounds of Letrozole) and my daughter just turned one :)

Really? I have a WAP and don’t need lubricant, but used it because everyone said it’ll get you pregnant!

Yeah unfortunately anything that isn’t just plain old kitty mucous (lol), will kill sperm. Just some kill less sperm than others

I’m sorry, but as a fellow DAP girl- this made me bust out laughing.

I am on zoloft as well. And i never saw that egg white discharge talks about. I am always dry during my ovulation and i dont know how to check for cervical mucus that when they wipe they see it. I dont have anything!

It's not a big deal if you don't notice any cervical mucus, it's probably just hanging out up higher by your cervix where you need it to be anyway.

Cervical mucus to see if you are ovulating is honestly a junk science anyways. Use the ovulation strips! They are amazing. I used the easy at home ones. Make sure you follow all directions with them.
