'Fertility-friendly' Pre~Seed® relieves vaginal dryness without harming sperm or embryos and is less irritating than leading lubricants.

Pre~Seed® is recommended by and used in leading fertility and women’s clinics.
Trying to Conceive, Vaginal Dryness and Lubricants
Approximately 11 million couples in the US, are trying to conceive (TTC). On average, a couple only has a 20% chance of becoming pregnant each month during the woman’s fertile time. Intercourse on demand at ovulation can lead to anxiety and increased vaginal dryness -- as can many fertility medications. In fact, 75% of women report an increase in their frequency of dryness when TTC.
Unfortunately, "everyday" personal lubricants can damage sperm and keep them from swimming normally. This includes all the leading lubricants and even saliva or water. Numerous medical studies have shown that these products should not be used when you are ready to become pregnant.
Traditional lubricants harm sperm because they have the wrong pH or osmolality (ion/salt concentration) or because they have ingredients in them such as glycerol (glycerin) which is toxic to sperm, especially at body temperatures.
In addition, many TTC women are concerned about their cervical fluid (mucus) quality. Normally during the fertile time when ovulation occurs, a woman’s cervical fluids change. There is an increase in the quantity of the fluid, it becomes more slippery (like egg whites) and the pH rises, all to support sperm and their journey thru the cervix to reach the egg. As women age or if they have hormone imbalances, these normal cervical fluid changes don't occur making it harder or impossible for sperm to swim through the cervix.
Pre~Seed® is Safe to Use When Trying to Conceive
Pre~Seed is the first 'fertility-friendly' Personal Lubricant that mimics natural body secretions to relieve vaginal dryness while providing an optimal sperm environment. Its moisture is delivered in the same pH, osmolality and viscosity (thickness) as fertile cervical mucus. Pre~Seed does not harm sperm or embryos, and is less irritating to women than the leading lubricants.
Pre~Seed's unique formula is covered by numerous issued US and International patents. It is the only lubricant formulated by a woman Sperm Physiologist.
Pre~Seed comes with applicators to deposit the product internally so that its moisture can coat the vagina and cervical opening, enhancing the comfort of intimacy and supplementing inadequate fertile secretions.
Pre~Seed is referenced in the physicians' expert consensus report "Optimizing Natural Fertility", a best practice guideline by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. What Makes Pre-Seed Unique?
