We were very excited to discover that the Nov 2008 Fertility and Sterility supplement of the 2008 Compendium of Practice Committee Reports , included a report on “Optimizing Natural Fertility”.  In this article, Pre~Seed was the only commercial lubricant specifically mentioned for use while TTC, and as not harming sperm.  This is an exciting recommendation of our Pre~Seed and Pre’ isotonic products, as well as a confirmation of the science and regulatory review behind them. 

These reports represent best practice guidelines from the American Society of Reproductive Medicine.  Specifically, the article abstract states “This Committee Opinion provides practitioners with suggestions for optimizing the likelihood of achieving pregnancy in couples attempting conception who have no evidence of infertility”.  Fertil Steril 2008;90:S1-6.

Besides recommending Pre~Seed, this report had the following Summary Points for TTC couples:

• Frequent intercourse (every 1 to 2 days), although 2-3 times a week is nearly equivalent.
• The fertile window spans a 6- day interval ending on the day of ovulation and correlates with the volume and character of cervical mucus.
• If you can’t or do not prefer to time ovulation, having frequent intercourse (as defined above) from the end of the woman’s menses (period), throughout the rest of the month, until her period starts again, can increase your chance of conception.
• Devices designed to predict ovulation  may be useful in couples with infrequent intercourse.
• Positions and resting after intercourse had no impact on fertility.
• Time to conception increases with age.  Women over 35 should seek a reproductive specialist after 6 months of trying.
• One to two drinks of caffeine or alcohol does not effect fertility.
• Smoking, >2 drinks of alcohol a day, and most commercial lubricants should be avoided when TTC.

Wow, I loved this note from sisters who have now been pregnant TWICE, several weeks apart using Pre~Seed.  My sister and I were pregnant with our youngest boys at the same time.  These boys were born two weeks apart and are now 11 yrs old.  They are totally different but totally love each other!   Enjoy this story!  ~ Dr. E

Hi,I wrote you a while back (”Success from a Loyal Customer”- Emily). I just wanted to give you an update on things. I had one tube of Preseed left when I found out I was pregnant. Well, then my sister told me they were trying as well. If you’ll remember we both got pregant at the same time 2 years ago using preseed and delivered our babies within 2 weeks of each other.  This time around I gave her my remaining tube to try and voila! I’m almost 12 weeks now and she’s almost 10 weeks. Just thought you might want to know that we are both hooked for good. Thanks again!!!  ~ Emily
