Members jesso Posted August 31, 2008 Members Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 A girlfriend of mine is trying to get pregnant and was told that using lube can act like a spermicide. Apparently it changes the PH of your cervical mucus. Obviously this isn't a birth control method, but I was curious if any had suggestions for her. She was recommended a lube, Pre-Seed, that's sperm friendly. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sun_flower969 Posted August 31, 2008 Members Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Did her Gyno tell her that? I don't think that is true if it wasn't. anyway we use lube a lot! and I got pregnant mysteriously since we were using condoms! Now I think I may have read that lube can make the condom slip and some sperm can sneak out. I never heard that it would hurt or kill the sperm though. Maybe it inhibits the swimmers? I dunno...

Members ladylove Posted August 31, 2008 Members Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 HMMMM? I'm not sure either. I was using spermicide and a diaphragm when I got pregnant with my first..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members angelkisses98 Posted August 31, 2008 Members Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 actually my fertility clinic gave me a list of sperm friendly lube..i will dig it out and look for it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mikayla1 Posted August 31, 2008 Members Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Certain lubes can affect sperm and the cervical mucousa, if you are having difficulties getting pregnant, then too much lube is not a good idea.My suggestions: LOTS of foreplay! Get wet and wild naturally and then just go slow until she warms up. OR, if you need the lube, then use a recommended lube from the OBGYN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members angelkisses98 Posted August 31, 2008 Members Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 the 2 on the list is pre-seed and slippery stuff. http://www.early-pregnancy-tests.com/pre-s...CFQOuFQodJj4BRAhttp://www.beyondfertility.com/catalog.php?item=75 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members angelkisses98 Posted September 1, 2008 Members Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 not a problem oh FYI if she is on clomid..that nasty evil drug...she is going to be dryer then the sahara, no matter how turned on she is.. so lots and lots of lube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie buckwyld Posted September 1, 2008 Newbie Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Our OB suggested no lube (go natural), no saliva (can hinder the motility of sperm), or if need the pre-seed as mentioned before.I must say, we were using pre-seed when we became pregnant. As for Clomid, we can attest to the dryness, we eventually were put on Femara...this was what we became pregnant on.Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
