What do you think about PreSeed lubricant that promotes fertility?

Hello,

This is what it says on the company's website about the increased pregnancy rate: '''Pre-SeedTM Fertility Enhancing Lube is formulated to mimic fertile cervical mucus. Clinical research shows that Pre-Seed? Fertility Enhancing Lube allows sperm to swim freely while other lubricants may actually restrict sperm motility. There is currently no data that gives comparative pregnancy rates."

So basically, the company itself admits that it has no data proving that the product increases pregnancy rates and therefore fertility. The company mentions that the product might be better than other lubricants for sperm motility. However, I have not found any studies on this subject.

I do not recommend any over-the-counter products, as none have been proven effective in increasing the chances of getting pregnant.

However, if you have not already done so, I recommend that you start a folic acid (B9) supplement or a pregnancy multivitamin containing B9 to prevent the risk of abnormalities in the child if you become pregnant. Your pharmacist can advise you and prescribe the supplement at the necessary dose according to your medical records.

A couple is considered to have a fertility problem if they have not conceived after one year of regular unprotected sexual relations between a man and a woman. The urgency of seeing a specialist will depend on the age of the woman. For example, if you are under 35 years of age, it is advisable for a couple to consult a specialist after one year of regular unprotected sex, whereas the time frame is shorter, after six months, for women over 35 years of age.

However, nothing prevents you from consulting your family doctor at any time to discuss the subject. He or she will be able to provide you with information on the basic investigations to be carried out.

On your side, there are often several things that can be improved:

We look forward to hearing from you,
