How many times did you use pre-seed? The reviews in the internet, 95% of women who are having trouble of conceiving got pregnant in the first use of pre-seed. Of course everyone's condition is different.
I just don't want to start IVF before trying pre-seed since IVF is a very stressfull process.

95%?!! It figures I'd be part of the unlucky 5% (I used it for 3 of my 5 clomid cycles, but one of the 3 cycles is still in progress). Actually, I think that figure is probably pretty optimistic, but that's not to say it won't work for you. To me, a high percentage like that makes sense only for those who have no reason for not getting pregnant. Clearly, it wouldn't help someone who doesn't ovulate or have blocked tubes... I think it would be really helpful for someone who is using clomid, or whose DH has lower motility in order to help the little swimmers get to where they need to go. If you haven't done it before and you have the time, it's definitely worth a try before doing IVF.

If you have a chance, add your stats to your signature so we can see what's gotten you to this point! (Go to "User CP" above and hit "Edit Signature") Good luck!!
