Trying to conceive (TTC) is a big issue. At least 90 million couples worldwide, 11 million in the US alone, are trying to become pregnant. With only a 20% average chance of becoming pregnant each cycle, it's no surprise that couples can become stressed.

Intercourse on demand around ovulation can lead to anxiety and increased vaginal dryness. In fact, 75% of TTC couples report an increased frequency of vaginal dryness.

In relieving vaginal dryness, couples do not want to create another problem. However, most personal lubricants and even saliva can harm sperm.  Research conducted on personal lubricants over the past three decades has clearly demonstrated their detrimental effects on sperm (Figure 1).

Since Pre-Seed® was first introduced in 2002, other lubricant products claiming to be “fertility- or conception-friendly” have been introduced. However, a recent study found that only Pre-Seed® formula did not impact the ability of sperm to fertilize or support normal embryo development, whereas several other “fertility” lubricants sold elsewhere in the world, caused a decline in fertilization and embryo growth rates in an animal model. Luckily, these other lubricants cannot be legally be sold in the US. Pre-Seed® is the only “fertility” lubricant with the FDA review behind it, that is required for sales in the US (Learn More).
