Pre-Seed Experiences and Tips?
We've used pre-seed before, but no luck yet. I'm wondering if I'm doing it wrong?  ie, maybe using too much or too little? Sorry this thread might get a little TMI - but wondering if anyone could share some tips and experiences?
Many thanks!

Why do you feel like you're using it wrong?

I guess because it hasn't worked! 
The first time we used it, I got the whole tube up there and it felt like it was way too much.
So then I've tried less, but I'm just wondering if I overcompensated?
DH has poor morph and the month we did get pregnant I had tons of EWCM - the only month I've had that much since the mc was July and I was away from DH. I'm convinced the EWCM is really key for us.

Well the PreSeed should act just like EWCM... so if you are using it, it should pretty much give you the same chances I THINK.

Yep, that's what I've heard! 
Maybe I'm not getting up there far enough? I just bought the kind with the applicators where you can choose how much to use (it's not pre-packaged in individual "doses") We'll see if it works.

Re: Pre-Seed Experiences and Tips?
Gotcha! We've only use the Pre (the external one) - so I don't have much experience with PreSeed and the applicator! Sorry I can't help more!

The morphology is most likely this issue, not the pre-seed. Pre-seed will help keep the sperm alive in, but it won't help the sperm penetrate the egg, which is the problem with morphology.

Re: Pre-Seed Experiences and Tips?
Yes, you're right, unfortunately. 
But he's only had one SA and it showed a good count. His morph was 6% strict, which in some circles is considered not that bad. If there are some normal swimmers in there, I want to give them every opportunity to get up there! - I don't have much CM, so I figured we can use some help in that department.

Oh, darnit - I've done it again - outed myself twice in two days!  
For the record futuremommy = usuk2004! I'm through with the fake name!

Re: Pre-Seed Experiences and Tips?
I usually use it right before we are going to BD and apply it sitting on the toilet. I use the whole tube. seems to work well but no baby yet.

I was going to ignore it and pretend like I didn't notice! 
6% is really not that bad... my husband has between 0-1% We did manage to get pregnant on our own last summer, before going to the RE, but I had a chemical.

I had created a fake name ages ago because my mother lurks and there were a few other people I wasn't ready to tell we were TTC. But when I got pg in January, we told everyone - after the mc there wasn't really any point in hiding anymore, every knew we were going to TTC again. Not sure why I've always hung on to the alias.
BUT, yes, I was going to say that we did get pregnant on our own once too. And the month that we did, I had tons of CM - so I figure it can't hurt to use pre-seed...(as long as I keep reminding myself we do have an issue and it's not a cure-all!)

Re: Pre-Seed Experiences and Tips?
We used the pre-filled internal applicators, and it always felt like way too much, but it worked (or at least we got PG the month we used them). It feels like it would be too much, but I think you need a lot to do the job. GL!

Re: Pre-Seed Experiences and Tips?
Just a bit of a review - we used preseed last night with the reuseable applicators (not the pre-packaged tubes) and I liked it much better. Because the applicators are long and thin, I felt like I was able to get it where it needed to go and it wasn't so messy
