Pre-seed and gender

[Hobbermittens]

Those of you that used pre-seed to get pregnant, what gender baby did you have? I am trying to decide between pre-seed and EW for my boy sway. Thanks!

[atomic sagebrush]

I'll sticky this for more responses.

[Hobbermittens]

Thank you! I am on the fence about which to use... I have had 2 BFN's from EW, but it may not be the EW at all, it could just be that I am older now, and it just takes longer to get pregnant. I have a friend who used EW in her sway and got her boy, so she swears by it, and she was making me think I NEEDED it... I just can't decide! :worry:

[purple sky]

Used this with DS3 before knowing it swayed boy

[deaks66]

I have 2 boys and used preseed with both. That and dtd as soon as got smiley digi.

[annabel♥lee]

I got a boy with it and so did my sister.

[deaks66]

oh and i recommended it to two friends struggling to conceive and they both had boys using it!

[heather]

Wow! I have some preseed that we haven't used for a while. I'll have to use it next cycle since we're swaying boy.

[Hobbermittens]

This is great to hear! Thanks for the responses!

[Chicky]

Had ds1 using preseed

[KnockYourBallsOff]

I used it w/ ALL 3 of mine!!!!! Two friends who used it also had boys, 1 had her 3rd girl....

[daisyfay311]

Got a girl with ky and a boy with preseed. :)

[Just1wish]

I got DS 3 using preseed GL !

[wannahealthybaby]

Do you mix the preseed with anything? I remember seeing your supposed to mix it with baking soda, but can you just use it right from the bottle to TTC Boy?

[atomic sagebrush]

You can mix it with BS and directions for that are here:http://genderdreaming.com/forum/ttc-boy-best-practices/1444-baking-soda-basics.html

That having been said, I do not think it is at all necessary to do so and it may even be better not to.

[starflower]

Just thought I'd add that our DS was also concieved with pre-seed... I had no idea at the time that it swayed!

[TickledPinkButLoveMyBlue]

Got pregnant straight away after using preseed and now have a 1yo ds :)

[Hobbermittens]

Nice to hear there are lots of boys made with preseed! :bigsmile:

[indigoviolet]

Had ds2 using preseed

[sweetpea]

I have two boys, and both were conceived using Pre-Seed. I had no idea at the time that it swayed!

ETA: We also used eggwhites (during the last BD attempt) the cycle we conceived DS2, but that was bc we ran out of Pre-Seed at that point.

[Flava]

I see Im late for hobber just want to ad if anyone else interested I had my DD4 doing MSU and of course that's a swim up in EW! So yeah go for the pre-seed ladies lol

[NewYorkmom]

2 boys with preseed and I got pregnant first month with both. No lube for my daughter and it took 6 months to get pregnant.

[ThinkingPink]

I used pre seed when I fell pregnant with my son.

[Mommasita]

I got a boy!

[dloui128]

I used it this time and got a BFP
I'm praying that I get a healthy baby, and would LOVE a boy!

[atomic sagebrush]

AAA congrats Dloui!! :) Sending you tons of blue dust!

[dloui128]

AAA congrats Dloui!! :) Sending you tons of blue dust!

thanks atomic, looks like dropping the BSF this time did the trick:)

I will take all the blue dust I can handle and then some :)

[atomic sagebrush]

That is good to know, thanks for sharing that!!

[Ella BB]

Two boys and used pre-seed for both.. I'm now keeping away from the stuff :wink:

[girlonamission]

Used pre-seed 2 days before O & conceived DS2 - didn't know at the time it swayed boy!

[MrsECullen]

.

[HopingForPigtails]

Used it with DS1- like lots of others, didn't know it swayed. Looks like almost everyone had a boy with Preseed!!

[pebmcpd7]

I used it and I have all boys, I did'nt realise it swayed!! GL

[Zivic-Bubac]

Aaargh....all boys :hair: I used stupid EW this time and it's a girl. But so many blue swayers on IG used EW and got boys...I didn't use PreSeed for 2 reasons: I can't buy it where I live and there was one lady on IG with 3 DDs, all conceived with PreSeed. I'll try to find her name.

[atomic sagebrush]

Some people with fertility problems (including low sperm count) are told to use Preseed, and those things often sway pink. The Preseed isn't enough to make up for low sperm numbers to begin with of course - all it can do is help the survival of the sperm that are there. Also, Preseed can't make up for lousy CM and other fluids in the repro tract because it stays in the VJ.

[Hobbermittens]

Aaargh....all boys :hair: I used stupid EW this time and it's a girl. But so many blue swayers on IG used EW and got boys...I didn't use PreSeed for 2 reasons: I can't buy it where I live and there was one lady on IG with 3 DDs, all conceived with PreSeed. I'll try to find her name.

The preseed website says the numbers for boys and girls conceived are pretty close. I think I got a girl using it, so don't torture yourself. :hugs:

[Cinss]

I am liking what i am reading here, we used heaps of preseed this time, fx we get our little blue bundle.

[auroara78]

I understand what the website may be saying, but i know too many stories of ppl in RL and online having more boys than girls with preseed. Imho, it is a very good tool for a boy sway.

[Turning the page]

I used Preseed with Instead Cup on O-1 and O day, not realizing all of those factors swayed blue (well, depending on who you ask--lol!). I had my beautiful DS. Wasn't swaying, just trying to catch the egg ASAP! For Baby #2 (and last), I'm swaying pink. And steering clear of preseed!! ;)

[Pangea]

We used preseed when we conceived DS1, and a different sperm friendly lubricant called conceive plus for DS2. Going to be staying well away from anything remotely sperm friendly this time!

[atomic sagebrush]

I just wanted to thank everyone for taking time out of their busy days to answer this thread and the other poll threads we have going. It is invaluable info. :heart:

[julez12]

I had two boys with preseed.

[Bumblebee]

I'd like to add now that I used pre-seed and am expecting a boy :)

[genieinabottle1]

I used it twice and had 2 boys. I did not sway. I had copious Ewcm too though so I probably didn't need it. Will not be using it for my girwl sway for sure!

[TTC5]

I used it and had a boy :)

[Lucky-happy-blessed]

I've used it twice and had two boys

[mkarntz1980]

I used preseed and had a boy

[HappyMedium]

Okay...now I'm torn!!! Both of my girlfriends...1 with 2 girls and the other All 3 girls..used preseed and told me...USE IT!!! So..I figure..their diets have a lot to do with it causing them to be more acidic and dry when BDing so the Preseed helps the swimmers get where they need to go. Kills off the boys or slows them down and the preseed gets them past it quicker...When DH and I have tried 3 day cut off in the past we do NOT get pregnant. May be because CM is not enough and they don't survive. 2-1 day cutoff and we get boys...so...now I'm hoping diet and supps help my body to make a girl...I was SUPER dry last attempt and didn't use anything..not pregnant. So maybe the Preseed will help. I don't care either way...would LOVE my girl, but either way I will be happy. Planning on 3 day cutoff with preseed, then DH releasing every day (not bding) until O day then BD that night. Using Replens every 3 days as well. Ugh..I seriously just typed all this on autopilot..not even thinking about it DUH!
The point was, was that 2 of my friends suggested Preseed for girls. Wonderful

[atomic sagebrush]

Here's the trouble with Preseed. A lot of people who are otherwise having issues with fertility (either male or female) use the Preseed to help conceive. All the Preseed does is alter the environment of the VJ - it does nothing to fix anything coming from the male side of the equation, and then past the VJ, sperm have to make it thru the cervix, the uterus, the Fallopian tubes, find the egg, and fertilize it. There is plenty of room for things to sway pink either coming from the man's side, or after the sperm leaves the vagina. Just because some people have gotten girls with Preseed, that doesn't mean it still doesn't sway blue!!

3 day cutoff makes it very tough to get pg for some couples. But the fact is that timing doesn't sway anyway. 2 of my sons were probably conceived with 3 day cutoff. So you're trading something that really DOES probably sway blue (Preseed) and will almost certainly sway blue for someone who's already conceived 4 boys (verifying that either you or DH or most likely both, are already blue-friendly), to include something that DOES NOT SWAY in any way (timing.)

Will you be doing FR or abstain? If you're doing abstain, then I think you'd be better off moving your cutoff attempt closer, 1-2 days before O, then switch to a compressed FR or hurry up FR for the O day attempt (assuming you're going for O+12 there? that's even worse for conception than a 3 day cutoff is.) If you're doing FR, then a cutoff, then he releases a few more days until an O+12 attempt, that's fine (but odds of conception are still low). What I don't want to see you guys do, is have one attempt 3 days before O (after an abstain), then switch to FR, have him release 3 times and then BD again because then the second batch will ahve a lot higher sperm count than is optimal.

Most importantly, you CANNOT use both Preseed and Replens anyway. It causes a chemical reaction that makes the sperm absorb too much fluid and explode!

I would MUCH rather you let go of some of the things that don't even sway and strongly prevent pg (timing) and see if you get pg that way, then keep those things and add Preseed to the mix!! That's a step in the wrong direction. Now if you've dropped all those things to begin with, and still aren't getting pg, then it's time to think about Preseed but IMO you're not ready to go to Preseed until you've dropped timing.

[HappyMedium]

Atomic my plan was to bd every day af thru O...in the past we bd on O and maybe a day before that. that is all. I am thinking frequent bd was the key...then my friends suggested preseed. That was the plan for this month. I dont want to try O+12 because I would really like to have sex this month lol. So you dont think we should try preseed. I was sooo dry last month it was painful almost. Before the diet I had excellent cm...crazy cm... but I cannot gauge O on that anymore...or at least now. My girlfriends said they were just so dry that they had to use something. What is your opinion?

AND good to know about the replens and preseed!!! WTF should I do then?? Remove the preseed, use the replens and just bd every day?? Original plan once again.

[atomic sagebrush]

I think ANY lube is fine for a pink sway except Preseed/conceive plus. KY, Sylk, they're both fine but the Preseed will help too many sperm to survive. (I was unimpressed with the lube properties of Replens.)

[HappyMedium]

Okay...so I have to buy KY....funny..I looked at it and weighed them out...I don't think I have KY..have to get some. My other concern is that , even though I saw a slide full off swimmers..he is 47. That is why I thought preseed...to help them along. BUT we both have favored boy. I must say that my diet is sooooo different than what I am used to. I cannot tell you the amount of times I have said, NOPE can't eat that....and would have had I not been swaying. Eating 1100-1200 empty calories a day compared to 12-1500 healthy, balanced meals. I think I have lost my body forever LOL

[atomic sagebrush]

Since DH is 47, you may be right and the Preseed wouldn't sway strongly blue for you, but I would have you at least give it a month or two without Preseed before going for the Preseed.

[HappyMedium]

Atomic..one more question and I am done...I promise>......what about mixing a little lime or lemon into the preseed?? Otherwise I am just going to stick to the replens every 3 days prior to Bding...I don't want them to explode....bad picture in my head LOL.

[atomic sagebrush]

Nope, that makes the sperm heads explode. Plus, it totally negates the point of the Preseed (which is to emulate the normal pH of CM at ovulation and aid sperm survival.) You're better off just using Replens which is meant to have low pH.

[dloui128]

Just found out I'm having a boy and I used Preseed

[HappyMedium]

This is what I have decided. Since DH is 47 and his little swimmers need walkers....(Can't catch the egg at 2-3 days cutoff) I am using PreSeed with a 3 day cutoff. Then the days just before and during O I am using REplens. Not together. I am hoping the PreSeed will help the swimmers to survive longer and give us a better chance at a build up of X swimmers. Then the Replens will slow down or lessen count. We have been bding since CD6 and will continue until the day after Oing. We have never done any of this before, usually the day before or day of O and always get a boy...I am prepared though and really don't care. Totally thinking boy and picking out boy names to focus on.
With each pregnancy I called the baby a girl's name until I figured out what it was...this time..I am just focused on boy. I read somewhere that you will get the opposite of your heart's desire....well...I am really at this point, desiring a boy. Kind of terrified of a girl. Not even going to pick out a name. God will decide anyway. Can't wait for the BFP!

[atomic sagebrush]

You can't use Preseed and Replens tho, it's not good for the sperm. Even separated by a day or two, the chemistry is still in there and can react to harm the sperm. After 15-30 minutes, the sperm are out of the vagina and cannot be reached by the Preseed anyway so it can't be helping them to survive...the alkaline fluids in your cervix, uterus, and Fallopian tubes keep them alive. The Preseed only helps while the sperm is in the vagina.

I really would have been happy with a boy this time. It seemed to work for me and I hope it does for you as well. Having a girl is terrifying and I have episodes of mind numbing fear at times!!

[Jujubee]

We used preseed when trying to conceive #2. We weren't swaying, just TTC. We had a boy!

[Ktiguewantspink]

I used preseed and the instead cup with both of my boys!

[sweetsister]

Im having a Girl and i used Preseed,but i was on Clomid and also followed the LE diet ;)

[ladybug]

I also used preseed and I am expecting a girl...but I did take soy and was following a loose LE diet

[butterfly girl]

I used preseed with both my boys. I also used a instead cup with the first and I also think that sways boy. :)

[mmsgirlie22]

I do believe that I'll be buying some Pre-Seed once payday gets here.

[afy]

ok wow this info about preseed is rather over whelming i must say!!. first of all from the info i have gathered i believe its a lubricant?? and please ladies for those who used it and swayed boy... how often and when did you use it? im new to this stuff !!

[afy]

i also forgot to mention which company preseed is best to use.. im not sure whats out there
sorry forgot to mention when you say cup what was the cup used for??

[dloui128]

ok wow this info about preseed is rather over whelming i must say!!. first of all from the info i have gathered i believe its a lubricant?? and please ladies for those who used it and swayed boy... how often and when did you use it? im new to this stuff !!

yes it is a lubricant that you insert. You can use it as little or as much as you want. I used a tiny bit each time DH and I BD'd. I can't remember what the brand was though, I don't think it matters as long as it is preseed.

Thanxxx.. I know target do preeseed.. Hopefully give it a go if you don't mind me askin how many times did you BD when TTC your boy?

[Hobbermittens]

Preseed is the name of the brand. They sell it at lots of drug stores, including CVS.

[dloui128]

Thanxxx.. I know target do preeseed.. Hopefully give it a go if you don't mind me askin how many times did you BD when TTC your boy?

I wanted to do O-4 O-2 and O, but my O date was not on the day I thought it would be so I ended up with O-5, O-1, and O

[afy]

so you did 5 days before ovulation? thts not bad your still within the fertile window

[atomic sagebrush]

ok wow this info about preseed is rather over whelming i must say!!. first of all from the info i have gathered i believe its a lubricant?? and please ladies for those who used it and swayed boy... how often and when did you use it? im new to this stuff !!

Yes it's a sperm safe jelly and lubricant meant to help TTC. It seems to sway blue, we think because it helps more swimmers to survive.

[atomic sagebrush]

i also forgot to mention which company preseed is best to use.. im not sure whats out there
sorry forgot to mention when you say cup what was the cup used for??

As long as it says something like "conception safe" or "sperm safe" it will sway blue.

If it says "balances pH" or "mimic vaginal pH" beware, it sways pink.

[Elements]

wow. I wasnt going to buy it but i think i will now.

[minimatron]

Has anyone used the maybe baby sperm friendly gel? It says its a ph of 7.2 and "imitates the vaginas natural secretions"

[atomic sagebrush]

as long as it says "sperm friendly" it should be fine, has anyone used it??

[Blueplease]

Can I ask about cups.. Never heard of these. Is it to position the cervix. Which ones to sway blue!! Thsnks

[Cinss]

Instead cups, some ladies insert them after DTD to keep sperm up close to the cervix.

[Blueplease]

Thanks cinss.. Do you think there worth a go and is there a particular one depending on which way your swaying?? Thxs

[atomic sagebrush]

Thanks cinss.. Do you think there worth a go and is there a particular one depending on which way your swaying?? Thxs

The prob. that we've had with the cups is that inserting them is kinda difficult, you have to do some maneuvering to get it in there and lose some semen/sperm when you do that, plus, it's not possible that you get ALL the swimmers in there in one go so you're really sealing the cervix shut with some of the swimmers still on the outside. Since you want higher sperm numbers for blue, that's a pretty big step in the wrong direction and you'd be way better off just laying flat for 15-30 min. after BD.

Some people have thought that they could have their hubs ejac into the cup and then insert it, but that's bad too because firstly his numbers tend to be lower when he ejaculates from masturbation vs. actually DTD, and secondly becuase it's hard to get the cup in there without spilling the good stuff everywhere. I tried it out of curiosity and it was a DISASTER.

[afy]

What if we were to shower say a few hours after we DTD is that a good idea?

[atomic sagebrush]

yes, once a few hours has passed it's fine to go about your business. The sperm are up inside by then.

[3girlsinarow]

We used plenty of pre-seed and are now expecting our little boy after 3 girls. :bluecheer:

[TTCPink]

I used Pre-Seed when I conceived both of my boys, not realizing that it swayed in any way. Needless to say I will not be using it while TTC our girl!

[Zivic-Bubac]

Atomic, here http://genderdreaming.com/forum/ttc-boy-best-practices/1111-pre-seed.html you say this:''How to use Pre-Seed to sway blue - Use some Pre-Seed every other day starting after AF is over (it doesn't need to be a lot, because it's expensive...just enough so your body is somewhat used to it when your attempt rolls around) then a bit more every day during your fertile window and then ALSO as a lube during your attempt. You may want to use the Pre-Seed before bedtime to allow it to spread through the VJ without coming back out. "

So do I use it every other day whether we BD or not or just when we BD?
Unfortunately, my DH is not capable of BDing 2-4 days af-O, so I'll be aiming for O-5, O-3 and O-1. So then lots of PreSeed?
If you say to put it before bedtime, then we should BD in the morning for blue outcome?

(The more I think, the more I'm sure, DH and I are designed to produce baby girls:( )

[Maybeaboyinthefuture?]

Where can i buy pre-seed? Have to try on my last attempt for a boy after 3 girls:)

[Momofboys]

Where can i buy pre-seed? Have to try on my last attempt for a boy after 3 girls:)

You can get it at the drug store, CVS or Walgreens. I haven't seen it at Wal-Mart.

My question for this... If preseed sways boy n ky sways girl, what would ky + baking soda sway? I have ky jelly n was planning to mix with bsf. Boy sperm like the higher Ph setting. So do you think adding the ky n bsf increase the boy? Just wondering since I did see a couple ladies used preseed and got girl. I guess it depends what else they did if they were actually swaying and not just ttc period. Im going shopping later today going to see if I can find this somewhere and check the price.... Im kinda confused on which I wanna use after reading all of these responses. I see most got boy with preseed but did see some girls. And I know boys like the higher Ph which is what baking soda does.. hmmm... looks like Im off to google lol.

[atomic sagebrush]

I think you can get it online if you cannot find it at your local chemist/drugstore.

Also, you may be able to find a different brand of sperm-safe lubricant where you live. Anything that is marketed as sperm safe, conception safe, fertility friendly, ALL will sway blue.

Do not mix KY with baking soda. KY is NOT sperm friendly and will sway pink whether or not you mix it with baking soda. It's about a lot more than just the pH. Stay AWAY from KY for a boy!!

There will ALWAYS be a couple people who did X,Y,Z and got an opposite. No sway tactic can ever be 100% and people who have male-factor infertility (sways pink) are often told to use Preseed and may get girls with it, but that's because they may be "preset" for girls to begin with. It doesn't mean that for the average person Preseed sways pink, because it doesn't. we've gotten darn good results with the Preseed.

[Cinss]

Pre seed has the perfect PH for boys :agree: no bs needed.

[atomic sagebrush]

(The more I think, the more I'm sure, DH and I are designed to produce baby girls:( )

Oh sorry somehow I missed this the first time thru.

Yes, I would have you use it every other day or even every day, before you are starting your attempt, just in case your body doesn't "like" it and wants to wash it away. Not a ton of it, just about the size of a coin or so.

The only reason to use some at bedtime is to make sure it has time to melt and get into all the nooks and crannies. You can have your attempt at any time of day you like. Use more Preseed with your attempt. Unlike the pink sway jellies, there's no such thing as too much Preseed, it's fine to use a coin's worth at bedtime, again the next morning, and then the following night for your sway.

I am a little concerned with the timing of your attempts - timing doesn't sway, of course, but we want max numbers of sperm onhand to meet the egg and O-5 and O-3, while they will still help and are good for DH's sperm count, are still a bit far out to provide those max numbers of sperm. Is there any way you could have more than one attempt from O-1 thru O day? Or even an attempt on O-2? Highest rates of sperm survival is O-2, o-1, and O Day so by DTD more than once during that time period, you ensure you're getting good numbers of sperm to the egg.

[Feeling Blue]

I used preseed and got preg with ds2. Had no idea it swayed blue!!!

[justlikeme]

Me too I used withouth knowing it will sway blue and got a boy, I used 10 minutes befor BD I think is great for blue swayers :)

[mrs magoo]

I used preseed with DS1, just wanted to get pregnant asap and it seemed like good idea, only used it just before attempts as lube kinda thing. Beauitiful boy was result!

[atomic sagebrush]

I so appreciate hearing from people and y'all taking the time to share your experiences with us! Invaluable!

[kre776]

Hello,

We had our DS with preseed but we didn't know about swaying then.

DS is now 3 and we would love to have a baby girl. I'm worried as we had several months of failed TTC, charting, good timing etc. before using the preseed and getting our BFP. Everything for girl sways seems to make conception less likely and I do wonder whether we'll get anywhere without preseed helping us along! I'm 34, DH is 38, no known fertility issues.

I've been trying to do the LE diet, I have to take baby aspirin for another condition. At the end of the day another boy would be just as loved and wanted as a girl but I can just picture myself giving in and getting preseed after a few failed attempts, having boy no 2 and wondering if I should have been more patient!

The trouble is I have a health condition (unrelated to fertility) and have to change medication when TTC, so really we need to get pregnant ASAP to shorten the time I'm off my normal medication. At the end of the day a boy would be just as wanted and loved but you can't help but wonder what if :think:

[atomic sagebrush]

Lots of people have gotten girls on Preseed too, though. It's not a magic bullet and if you need it, you need it.

[kre776]

Thank you - it's not easy to be patient when you're TTC!!!

[Pumpkin2011]

I was on Clomid but had a very boy friendly diet and used Pre seed with several attempts and conceived a boy.

[Ciansmummy]

We used preseed also and had a boy! Didn't know about swaying.

[bebetrois]

I used pre-seed and pretty sure going by nub shots and everyones guesses I have a son coming :babym:. Will find out on Monday.
It's very luby though, DH didn't like it much. Had to use a little. Not too much.
Good luck.

[eksmum]

Two boys using pre-seed and clomid here.

[jellybeans]

I have two boys and used preseed with both...this was before I knew anything about swaying!

[Shenanigans]

Used preseed with my first boy and had a boy friendly diet and loads of ewcm. Didn't use anything with the other 2 but naturally have too much ewcm.

[Pearl327]

I used preseed as part of my sway and I am having a boy :)

I used LOTS of KY lube when i concieved DD it was jst something that hubby happnened to pick from CVS, we didnt know back then it wasnt good for sperm!

i will be and Am already using preseed soo much more natural!

I agree with you A.S. and I am one of those who it happened to. We were always said to have MFI although some times I think it is more severe than other times. Only took 7 months this time but we used Preseed just to get us pregnant. Never in my life would I have guessed that I would have a daughter but she is due on June 20th. I do think we probably were "preset" to have a girl being we have MFI. All I know is I just heard your voice saying "you can't get your desired gender, if you can't get pregnant at all" so I took the plunge and used the Preseed. Just my two cents worth :curtsey:

I'm not sure if you're asking me this but the reason why people are dropping BS is that they are not getting pregnant while using it, it's causing irritation and horrible yeast infections, and biologically it is just as bad for sperm to encounter very high pH as it is very low pH. Y sperm do not love high pH, NO sperm love high pH - it kills them. Preseed is designed to be perfect pH for sperm survival, and for reasons we do not understand, everythign that helps sperm to survive, sways blue.

I tried the BSF and I hated it, it burned and was very uncomfortable and I wasn't getting a BFP while using it. The month I dropped it and just used preseed I got pregnant and had a little boy :)

I thought I would chime in here that we used Conceive Plus Fertility Lubricant when we conceived our DS2. I didn't know lube swayed at the time, and we wanted to try Conceive Plus before we spent the money on Pre-seed, because this was less expensive. I would recommend it to anyone trying for a boy. Got pregnant the first cycle using it too. Good luck, girls!

[BlendedMama]

Uh oh, I didn't know it swayed blue and we used preseed this time and we really are hoping for a girl! We have 3 awesome boys. DH does not have MFI. I was also taking baby aspirin, Mucinex, and Vitex (only 1 cycle on Vitex). We also used soft cups. So far nub looks very girly. Fingers and toes crossed!

[atomic sagebrush]

I hope this is it for you Blended!

None of these things are magic bullets and people can and do get either gender using them.

I do not recommend Preseed or Conceive Plus for TTC a girl and I do not recommend soft cups for anyone.

Any sperm safe lubricant (such as Preseed) sways BLUE. It mimics vaginal pH around ovulation which is high and sways blue. It is NOT low pH - Preseed is vaginal pH at ovulation (high). Preseed is a blue-friendly lube and sways blue.

@atomic - If I was to sway with Clomid, what lubricant would you recommend that would be ok for a girl sway if pre-seed sways blue?

For pink, you can use Sylk, KY, or any NON-sperm safe lube the first couple months, then switch to SMALL amounts of sperm safe, conception friendly jelly like Preseed. Just be sure you use small amounts, barest minimum you need for comfy BD as larger amounts may sway blue.

[BabyRendu]

Based on what I have read there is no specific intructions on how much PS I should use. Can you advise if I should start using it after AF and how often and for the final round how much PS should be used. It will be very helpful..

[Parying4agirl]

Cant remember what the exact amounts are but do recall i used way less that on the leaflet as it was too much. Prob used about 1cm of the stuff

Got 2 boys this way btwp

[atomic sagebrush]

I would use a fingertip full with every BD (the size of a nickel or quarter.) Don't use the whole applicator, that has seemed to be too much.

[pinkin2011]

I used about a fingertip of Preseed the month i conceived my dd , I was on clomid for 5 months and took 1 month off it, I dtd 2 times in fertile window also had a big o and used the Preseed.
