Can we use lubricant in sex while trying to conceive?
Hubby and i are TTC from a few months now. Thoda awkward to ask but is it ok to use lubricant or does it affect chances? heard mixed things online. pls share if anyone has experience.
Oh, I panicked so much when we used normal lube while trying! But then I found out there are special fertility-friendly lubricants available in the market. Just switch to those and take it easy, everything will be fine.
Many standard lubricants can actually act as a barrier for sperm, making it harder to conceive. Honestly, it's best to consult your fertility specialist or gynac for a safe recommendation. They know what works best for your body.
Actually, regular lubricants can block sperm movement because they aren't the right pH. My doctor told us to use specific TTC-friendly lubes like Pre-Seed or just plain coconut oil in very small amounts. It is always better to double check with your gynac.
I am currently 4 months pregnant and we also had this doubt while trying! We just avoided standard lubes completely to be safe. Did your doctor suggest any specific brand to you yet?
