Is olive oil a safe lubricant when trying to conceive?

Question

We are trying to conceive and dryness has become a problem these days. Read somewhere that normal lubricants can affect the sperm so was thinking of using olive oil instead. Is it actually safe na? dont want to mess up our chances.

I was also wondering the same thing and felt shy to ask. Good that someone posted it. Will check with my doctor for a safe option.

Honestly there are special conception friendly lubricants available in pharmacy now. I would go with that rather than home oils. Quick word with gynac will clear it fully.

My gynac said most regular lubricants can affect sperm movement, so she suggested a fertility friendly one instead. She didnt recommend kitchen oils honestly. Better to just ask your doc for the right kind.
