Fertility Lubricant

Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant mimics natural fertile fluids and helps to relieve vaginal dryness. Its moisture is delivered in the same pH, osmolality and viscosity (consistency) as fertile cervical fluids (mucus). This provides an optimal environment for sperm on their journey through the vagina, into the cervix and up to the Fallopian tubes where they meet the egg.

Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant is a “sperm-safe” personal lubricant — that means that it is pH and isotonic balanced to match fertile cervical mucus. This enables sperm to swim freely. Clinical studies show that Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant is a sperm-safe lubricant, which is a benefit over most lubricants. However, there is not any specific clinical evidence that Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant can help women conceive when they have polycystic ovary syndrome. We recommend that you speak to your doctor about possible treatments.

Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant users have participated in two opt-in, on-line surveys discussing their experience using the product. Early pregnancy losses for Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant users are consistent with levels observed in the general population (25-30% of all pregnancies end in early losses). If you have a pregnancy loss, be sure and contact your physician so that they can advise you.

Yeast infections may be caused a number of factors. Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant has not been shown to cause yeast infections. If you are experiencing symptoms of a yeast infection, it is recommended to see your physician for diagnosis and treatment.

Applicators should be used as indicated in the package insert, which states to discard the applicator following use. Do not reuse applicators. We do not recommend the washing and reusing of the applicators since soap & water can be very toxic to sperm.

Any information, opinions, claims or publications that indicate Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant “sways” toward a male outcome of conception are unsubstantiated and not the subject of any scientific study.

We are not aware of any clinical studies that show Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant may cause urinary tract infections. In general, many women are able to use Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant even when other lubricants have caused irritation or infection. This is because salt (ion) concentration of Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant closely resembles natural body fluids at about 270-370 mOsm/kg. If irritation occurs for you while using Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant, stop using the product. If the irritation persists, please contact your doctor.

Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant can be used any time to relieve vaginal dryness or discomfort. In clinical studies, Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant has been reported to be safer and less irritating to the sensitive tissues of intimacy than other lubricants. As with any product, please consult with your physician before use if you are pregnant or nursing.

Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant comes with applicators to provide moisture inside — where it can coat the vagina and cervix, enhancing the comfort of intimacy and supplementing inadequate fertile secretions. Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant is most effective as a lubricant when its isotonic formula is deposited inside. Of course, Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant can also be applied externally, but it is most effective when used with the applicators.

The expiration dates are provided to ensure safety and quality of Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant. Clinical testing has shown that Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant quality is best when used prior to the expiration date, so we only recommend that you use lubricant that meets this standard.

Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant is formulated to mimic fertile cervical mucus. Clinical research shows that Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant allows sperm to swim freely, while other lubricants may actually limit sperm motility. There is currently no research data that provides comparative pregnancy rates.

If you used Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant and you felt a sticky sensation, your skin tissues may be a bit low in moisture. Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant’s isotonic moisture is readily absorbed by skin because it mimics natural fluids, so you may want to try using more Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant to saturate the tissues. This will help provide greater lubrication. In clinical studies, Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant has been reported to be as slippery and smooth as, if not better than, leading lubricants. Clinical studies also show that Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant allows sperm to swim freely.

Any information, opinions, claims or publications that indicate Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant causes multiple births are unsubstantiated and not the subject of any scientific study.

We cannot guarantee the performance of product that is not stored according to the package labeling. However, we have tested Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant following exposure to freezing temperatures for short periods of time (freezing for 1 to 3 weeks). Based on our routine tests, this short-term exposure did not appear to change the integrity of the product. Please shake the tube well before use (one time) to ensure that the lubricant remains homogenous.

We are not aware of Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant affecting menstruation cycles. Menstruation cycles can be affected by a number of things, including routine changes, stress, illness, medications, exercise, or various health problems. We recommend consulting with a healthcare professional if your period is significantly late and you are receiving negative pregnancy results.

Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant is recommended for use prior to intercourse. Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant provides lubrication and mimics fertile cervical fluid to create the optimal environment for sperm, so it will be most effective if applied before sex by using the applicators provided. Many couples tell us they like how Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant feels and that it enhances intimacy, so you may enjoy using it even if you do not feel like you need a lubricant. Best wishes on your baby-making!

Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant is formulated to mimic fertile cervical fluids so sperm can swim freely. We do not have any research that shows the effect of using Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant with a contraceptive, so it is difficult to say whether Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant will affect the use of contraceptive. However, if a spermicide is effective at killing sperm, then it seems that Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant’s formulation would not be a factor.

Azoospermia is a condition where no measurable levels of sperm are produced in semen. Pre-Seed is specially formulated to provide a medium for sperm to swim freely on their journey to meet and fertilize the egg. However, Pre-Seed cannot help produce sperm. If your partner has been diagnosed with azoospermia, we recommend consulting a fertility expert to determine the best course of action to take when trying to conceive.

We cannot guarantee the performance of product that is not stored according to the package labeling. However, we have tested Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant following exposure to and over 100 degrees F for short periods of time. Based on our routine tests, this exposure did not appear to change the integrity of the product.

Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant was invented by a woman who is a sperm physiologist. During the National Institute of Health-funded research into what makes healthy sperm, the inventor realized that many couples were using lubricants that killed sperm. This research led to the design of Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant’s patented formula to relieve dryness with lubrication that is sperm-safe.
Published studies confirm that Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant’s formula is sperm-safe, making it the first ever lubricant allowed to state that it is safe for use by couples who are trying to conceive (TTC).
Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant is made in America and has been trusted by TTC couples since 2002!

Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant was developed specifically to match a woman’s fertile fluids, and to provide safe lubrication for use when trying to conceive a baby.

• Clinically shown to be a sperm-safe lubricant
• Allows healthy sperm to move freely
• Isotonic and pH-balanced to mimic fertile fluids
• Developed by a female doctor
• Recommended by fertility experts and used in fertility clinics
• Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant is covered by numerous US and International Patents

Yes. Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant mimics natural body secretions, providing an optimal sperm environment and relieving vaginal dryness. Its moisture is delivered in the same pH, osmolality and viscosity (consistency) as fertile cervical fluids. Pre-Seed does not harm sperm and is less irritating to women.

In general, many women are able to use Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant even when other lubricants have caused irritation. This is often because other lubricants do not have the same salt (ion) concentration as your body fluids. For example, body fluids are at about 270 mOsm/kg, but other lubricants are as high as 3,500 mOsm/kg, so you can see — VERY high. It is basically like getting salt water in your eyes!
Still a very, very low percent of women do have some irritation after use of Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant. The rate is about ½ of 1%, based on our records. Such irritation can be due to pregnancy or hormonal changes, or an allergic reaction. Please note, if irritation occurs for you while using Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant, stop using the product. If the irritation persists, please contact your doctor.

Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant can be used any time you have intercourse and want to supplement lubrication and moisture. Applying it internally helps the lubricant act like your body’s own fluids, making for a very natural feeling during lovemaking. Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant’s isotonic formula means it is a less irritating lubricant that is ideal for women in all walks of life. In clinical studies, Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant has been reported to be as slippery and smooth as, if not better than, leading lubricants. It also has been reported to be less irritating to the sensitive tissues of intimacy than other leading lubricants.

Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant comes with applicators to provide moisture inside where it can coat the vagina, enhancing the comfort of intimacy and supplementing natural fertile fluids. The woman's body naturally provides secretions throughout the vaginal canal. Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant is most effective as a lubricant when its isotonic formula is deposited inside near the cervix. Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant can also be applied externally.

Never used a lubricant with an intravaginal applicator before? It is easy and discreet! Instructions are included in each package. Applicators are included for Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant to be most effective. Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant’s applicators coat the entire vagina with its isotonic formula, just the way your body fluids do – increasing comfort during intimacy. Click here for full instructions.

The amount of Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant to use will vary depending on the desired lubrication. If you used Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant — and it felt too slippery or there wasn’t enough sensation (friction) when using it — try one or more of the following adjustments:

1. Apply less Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant. Try just using 1g at first, and work up to the right amount for you.
2. Wipe off extra Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant after applying. After applying Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant inside with the applicator, wipe off any lubricant on your outside parts by using a tissue.
3. Apply your Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant earlier. You can apply Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant up to an hour before lovemaking.
4. Try just using Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant externally. We suggest you apply lubricant the size of a quarter.
5. If things are too slippery during the middle of lovemaking, take a break, and wipe both of you off by hand or with the sheet. This should make things just right when you start up again.

If you used Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant and it wasn’t slippery enough, it dried out too quickly, or it had a rubbery or tacky sensation, your tissues may be a bit low in moisture, and you may need to use more Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant. Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant’s isotonic moisture is readily absorbed because it mimics natural fluids. To provide adequate lubrication, you will need to apply enough Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant to saturate the tissues. Here are some suggestions for this situation:

1. Try using the intravaginal applicators to apply Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant inside. Your body makes natural fluids throughout the vaginal canal, not just at the opening of the vulva. Applying lubricant inside mimics your own fertile fluids and maximizes Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant’s effectiveness as a lubricant. Many women have never used an applicator for a lubricant, so it may seem different.
2. If you are just using Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant externally, apply an amount similar to the size of a quarter by hand to the areas you want lubricated. If these areas seem to rapidly absorb Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant, repeat the application (with the same amount). Once the tissues are hydrated, the second dose of Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant can stay on the surface and provide longer lasting lubrication.
3. If you are using the applicator and things aren’t slippery enough, try applying Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant while lying down in bed, right before intimacy.

Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant is compatible with latex and polyurethane condoms.

Preservatives, such as Methylparaben and Propylparaben (in Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant), keep products from growing bacteria. Other preservatives (Vitamin C, EDTA, etc.) can cause sperm damage. We chose to use Methylparaben and Propylparaben, because they have very long histories of use and safety data, and are sperm-safe.

The preservatives we use prevent bacteria growth without damaging sperm. Published reports found that these preservatives have no more impact on tissues than do food estrogens in soya and other foods (A review of the endocrine activity of parabens and implications for potential risks to human health. Crit Rev Toxicol. 2005).

Scientists and expert preservative consultants have reviewed all of the available preservatives approved for human use. In developing Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant our goal, of course, was to choose a preservative that was safe for sperm. Unfortunately, many preservatives damage sperm by their mechanism of action. In developing Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant, we were the first, and to our knowledge the only, studies ever done to determine the lowest dose of Methylparaben and Propylparaben preservatives we could use that would meet our goal of protecting against bacterial growth while preserving optimal sperm function and not impairing egg fertilization or embryo development.

The safety issues around Parabens have been reviewed by a number of expert groups. Virtually all of them have concluded that Methylparaben and Propylparaben, when used in the amounts present in Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant, are safe.

The FDA believes that: "at the present time there is no reason for consumers to be concerned about the use of cosmetics containing Parabens. However, the agency will continue to evaluate new data in this area. If FDA determines that a health hazard exists, the agency will advise the industry and the public…"

Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant is the first lube approved to be safe for use when trying to get pregnant. Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant is better than other leading lubricants for trying to conceive (TTC) because it is pH- and isotonic-balanced to mimic fertile cervical fluids. Unlike most other leading lubricants, Pre-Seed™ is free of glycerin or glycol so that sperm are able to swim freely. Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant also provides antioxidant support for sperm on their journey.

Besides being "sperm-safe", Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant has been reported in clinical studies to be as slippery and smooth as, if not better than, leading lubricants. Pre-Seed™ Fertility Lubricant’s isotonic formula has also been shown to be less irritating than leading lubricants.
