Has anyone used this? I heard that it is better than preseed and bought some organic canola oil from the store to try. Dr Oz said it is the most sperm friendly natural thing to use (along with one or two other items). Anyway, it is cheap and a little goes a long way. Just wondering if anyone has tried it before.

Ya, I was going to buy preseed but I read something negative about it (can't remember what it was) and also read that it can be sticky. Figured canola oil would be a better first shot. Hope it's not gross.

I've heard mixed things about it (i.e sperm friendly vs not sperm friendly), but personally I have not really done any research into it so I can't really say. I'd be curious to see the references Dr. Oz used to come to his conclusion--one other time I actually did some research into a claim that he was making and checked out some of his references. What I found was that he was sensationalizing the issue and not really portraying the facts accurately. Not saying that's the case here--like I said, I have not looked into this one at all, so I really can't say. In general, though, I'm cautious about what goes "in there"...want to be careful to avoid the risk of infection.

Yeah, the thought of canola oil kind of freaks me out a little! Preseed isn't sticky at all. The only downside of it is how expensive it is! I have gotten pregnant twice using it, so I will probably just stick with it. Hopefully it won't be much longer

I have thought about it before, but I doubt DH would go along with that. Conceive Plus is slightly cheaper, but honestly I am thinking about going back to nothing, even though I really need it.
I can't remember if this is true or not, but I thought I read awhile back that using Preseed could increase chances of chemical pregnancy. Is that what you read?

I have used it but only when we are lubricating using toys and this has been for a long time. I have never known it to be a sperm friendly thing like preseed is. I know I read a study where thy did a microscope thing

oil v durex luvbe v preseed and preseed came out on top every time.

Interesting. Well, I already bought it, lol. Guess I could use it to cook with!

I don't think I want to spend the money on preseed. We normally use just regular KY but I read that is NOT sperm friendly. Maybe we will try o'natural and see what happens. We don't need it every time.

Pre-seed is basically for those who do not get wet.

I personally do very much now that I am using evening primrose but we have pressed as playing we enjoy using lube and we used to use durex tingle but thats NOT NOT NOT sperm friendly.

EPO - Evening primrose oil.

It helps naturally enhance fertile CM and I took it last cycle and it helps with the amount of watery CM I have and I even had a patch of EWCM on CD8 which I never have.

I am not on about sex wetness as I am a river then but naturally wet cm during the day which allows me to chart it more.

i do take the max dose though of 3000 daily and stop the day I get a positive opk.
