OK, I have a dilemma. I have heard that spit will kill sperm. Is this true? I hate to say it, but there isnt really much else DH and I use for lubrication. What should we do?

Hi there

My DH and I used Pre-Seed, which we purchased from Drugstore.com. It's pretty expensive, but was well worth it for us. I've heard of others using more natural products, such as egg white, but DH and I weren't that adventurous...LOL! Perhaps some of the other ladies here could fill you in on those options. Anywho...Pre-Seed is a sperm-friendly lubricant. We got pg the second cycle using it. I also never had much EWCM to speak of, so the Pre-Seed may have helped with that too...it's kind of that consistency. This last bit of info. is just my personal theory...I have no idea if it's really true!!!

Good luck!

Ummm....What is pre-seed? I cant say that I have ever heard of it. I dont want to be very "adventurous" as you called it, but I dont want to spend alot of money either. Can I get it at any drugstore? Wal Mart? Thanks for youe help. If anyone else has any suggestions I would love to hear them. Thanks!

Oli

pharmaceutical grade mineral oil is supposed to be good ( read in an article written by a doctor) it's the same thing as baby oil without the fragrance. baby oil is said to work good too, but the fragrance gives me a yeast infection (tmi) something about mineral oil is closest to the ph of the vagina. hope this helps. oh, and it's like $1.99 at the drug store!

Mineral oil? Interesting. I think I will get some tonight. Do you know if it helps keep sperm alive like ewcm does?
