What lubricants are safe when trying to conceive?

Question

My husband and I are trying for a baby, and sometimes we use lubricants. Are there specific types of lubricants that are safe to use when trying to conceive?

Rachna Bundela · Answer

Keep your heart positive and pray. If you need a lubricant, try to avoid normal ones as they can stop sperm from reaching; ask your doctor for a safe, baby-friendly option.

Anindita Sawant · Answer

Regular lubes speed limit laga dete hain sperms par, ho na. Better to buy specialized fertility lubes after checking with your doctor.

Geetanjali Mehta · Answer

Haan, standard lubes to sperm motility ko affect karte hain na. Conceive Plus ya Pre-Seed jaise sperm-friendly lubes hi use karna, best rehga.

Sunanda Barik · Answer

We are also trying and I read that normal lubes can reduce chances. I am a bit shy to ask the doctor, but we are looking into fertility-friendly options now.

Kamakshi Kohli · Answer

When we were trying, our doctor strictly told us to stop regular lubes and recommended a fertility-safe one. It really helped us conceive soon!

Hansa Krishnan · Answer

Normal lubricants like KY jelly can actually act as a spermicide. Switch to TTC-friendly lubricants like Pre-Seed which match the natural cervical mucus pH.

Tulsi Rane · Answer

Don't use saliva or regular petroleum jelly as they harm sperm. Use specialized sperm-friendly lubricants available in the market, or just talk to your doctor.
