I have had a few questions regarding preseed since I used it to help conceive this time around. You can read all about it at <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.preseed.com">preseed.com</a>
pre-seed is the only lubricant on the market that is specifically formulated to provide the optimal environment for sperm. All other lubricants kill sperm. Here is a chart from the pre-seed website:

And here is a chart that shows sperm motility and viability after contact with some lubricants:

And here are some good comparison photos:

It is more expensive than other lubricants out there at about $2.50 per use but you only need to use it during your fertile phase. I bought it through eBay but you can buy it at a few other online retailers and even some local pharmacies (the website has a list of places to buy it). I actually only used it once last month because I ovulated a little earlier than I expected.
If you are one of those people who produce good quality egg white type cervical fluid then you probably don't need it. But if you are like me and hardly produce any of the good stuff, if at all, then you need something. my problem was compounded by the fact that I'm still nursing and that in itself can cause vaginal dryness. I didn't produce well to begin with and then adding nursing to the picture practically eliminated any chance of getting pregnant on my own.
I have a hunch, though not substantiated by anything, that this lubricant would also help thin our cervical fluid a little bit. Not a lot but maybe enough to do the trick.
Lastly, here is what they say about the testing they do on each lot:
Each lot is tested to ensure:
1. pH between 7.0 and 7.4
2. Osmolarity between 260 and 360 mOsmo/kg
3. No harm to Mouse Embryos: assures that greater than 85% of one cell mouse embryos develop to the blastocyst stage when cultured with Pre~Seed®. This analysis is the FDA test for all media solutions used in assisted reproduction such IUI or IVF.
4. Sperm-friendliness: freshly ejaculated human sperm are cultured with Pre~Seed® in media to ensure that the percentage of swimming sperm, and their swimming speed is not negatively affected by the Pre~Seed®.
5. Culture to ensure there are NO pathogen (nasty) bacteria
6. Measurement of endotoxin (bacterial cell walls) to ensure low levels. In fact, our allowed endotoxin levels are the same as those required by the FDA for in vitro fertilization products (<0.5 EU/ml). Endotoxins can interfere with sperm and can damage the Fallopian Tube. In contrast to Pre~Seed, another product claiming to be "sperm friendly" has an endotoxin level of 700 EU/ml!!! Definitely NOT good for sperm.
