I googled this and there have been women that used expired preseed without any issues. I am not sure if I would want to put anything in my body that was expired though just in case.

I am not sure I would use while TTC.... If it was just for lube... I think I would.. but I wouldn't take the chance of it hurting the swimmers... But this is only what I would do.. HUGS!

Yeah, that's what I was thinking

It sucks because it is a whole box! But oh well.

What are the ingredients? I doubt it's harmful, seriously if it can go in there... it can't have much in it....

Totally not to go against your advice Missy or anyone else who might have posted while I typed this up, LOL!!!

Alright I looked up the ingredients... c/p below. It has a preservative in it, and what I've found from working in a natural foods store (which also carried natural body care, household, etc) anyways, sell by/expiration dates on food, body care, etc is to protect a companies (from lawsuits, etc) it does not mean the product is "bad" (I've called many companies about this for CSR work there)

But if you're in doubt... call their company or if you don't want the hassle throw it out. That's entirely a personal opinion... IDK what to tell ya, I don't use it so I don't have a strong opinion either way.

Pre-Seed Ingredients are Fertility Friendly
Pre-Seed's Patented Ingredients are fertility friendly & include:

Purified water: Very pure with low endotoxin from bacterial cell walls, and low metal or salt content.

Hydroxyethylcellulose: A non-toxic thickener. Has been shown to be similar to cervical mucus in laboratory studies.

Pluronic: A non-toxic slippery agent.

Sodium chloride: Makes the product isotonic to semen. Similar science as to why you drink Gatorade when you are dehydrated!

Arabinogalactan: A unique plant polysaccharide from larch trees, that provides antioxidant support for cells. Arabinogalactan is a very large sugar and can not be digested by bacteria or yeast to cause an infection, as can small molecules like glycerin.

Sodium phosphate & Potassium phosphate: Protects and holds the pH to that of semen and fertile cervical mucus for an optimal sperm environment.

Carbomer: A non-toxic thickener.

Methylparaben: One of the most mild and well studied of all preservatives against bacterial growth. There is a detailed discussion of why we use this at our FAQs, but in Summary there is no evidence that this paraben at the levels we use has any adverse effect on sperm or reproduction.

Sodium hydroxide: Raises the pH to that of semen and fertile cervical mucus.

so Celena, do you feel it would be safe to use? I have taken expired aspirin, tylenol ect.. in my life

I'm not sure it would be unsafe (As long as it's in a sealed container), but I'd worry it might not protect the little spermies as well as it would have a year ago. They probably can't guarantee it anymore. I'd def use it for the non-BD days!

I agree. I think for just using as lubricant I would use it, but for ttc purposes maybe not.
