Lubrication Question
I know there are special "fertility lubrications" that you are supposed to use that help (or at least don't deter) your odds.
BUT, is it safe to use other lubrications we used before TTC?
What I'm asking is, does it just lower the chances or does it harm the sperm/the future baby? Does it lead to problems if you do get pregnant?

Re: Lubrication Question
I think regular lubes are just not sperm friendly. I dont think they cause any problems for a fetus...but of course ask your dr if youre concerned.
Preseed, a sperm friendly lube, can be purchased on amazon or CVS

Re: Lubrication Question
i dont think you need to use the fertility friendly lube if you already get alot of EWCM. The other name brands can harm sperm but it wont harm you or a baby if you get pregnant.
some girls say drinking red raspberry leaf tea, taking mucinex or robitussin helps with increasing your own CM.

Re: Lubrication Question
just FYI: preseed comes with a money back guarantee so if you dont like it (a lot of people seem to not care for it) you can get your money back... cuz its like $20.
otherwise, yeah regular lube can be harmful to spermies. OBVIOUSLY don't get spermicidal but even the regular kind can be counterproductive.
they say even saliva can be harmful to it also.

I *think* you should start taking it in the week before you O, and maybe the day you O. You can stop after that.
