We are trying to conceive and someone suggested ky jelly. But im confused, does it affect getting pregnant or is it ok to use? thoda awkward to ask doc so asking here.
I was actually wondering about this too because everything gets so dry down there now. My doctor said water-based ones are usually safe, but did your gynac suggest any specific brand? Let me know if you find out!
I can only share my experience, but my gynac said water-based lubricants are perfectly fine to use. I used it occasionally and faced no issues at all. Still, every body is different, so do check with your doctor.
Look, water-based ones like KY jelly are safe, but don't use any fancy flavored or warming ones. Keep it simple and don't overcomplicate things. If there's still irritation, just stop using it and tell your doc.
It is generally fine to use water-based lubricants, but just check the ingredients for any added sugars or glycerin. High sugar levels can sometimes make you more prone to yeast infections down there, so be a bit careful.
Having PCOS made me super cautious about everything I used during pregnancy. KY jelly is generally water-based which is safer, but honestly, it is best to ask your doctor once. I didn't want to take any chances with my baby.
Beta, using chemical gels during this time is not always good. In our times, we just avoided these things, but if you must use something, ask your lady doctor. Coconut oil is sometimes used, but check with your doctor first if it's safe for you.
After going through a miscarriage, I became extremely paranoid about inserting anything or using chemical products. Even if people say it's safe, I would strongly suggest asking your doctor first. Your peace of mind is what matters most.
