Seeds of Hope
Lubrication for Conception By Lyn Mettler
How might it help? While the product was not designed to facilitate pregnancy, it was designed to facilitate more enjoyable sex. And it would only make sense that more enjoyable sex would lead to more excited partners and possibly more frequent intercourse, which can only help your chances of conception (unless, of course, you're having sex too much to keep up a high enough sperm count). "When you combine a low or borderline sperm count and poor ejaculate quality due to stress and poor stimulation (often due to lack of lubrication), it can push a couple over the edge to where conception can really become a challenge," says Dr. Ellington.
The company is working on a new product that is designed to facilitate pregnancy. Pro~Cept will contain the same plant sugar, but will undergo clinical testing in studies to look at how it may help sperm to better penetrate cervical mucus.
At the very least, Pre~Seed can bring some joy back into the bedroom, allowing "babymaking" to become less of a chore. Says Stewart, "The fun of making love has returned to us once again."
