I don't think so but Pre-seed is good apparently

Have heard you can use baby oil.

Have also heard that KY Jelly is not sperm friendly.

I've read to use Pre-Seed, but also (and I know it sounds abosultely disgusting) but egg whites are supposed to be very sperm-friendly!!! Not tried it myself

KY jelly can reduce the chances of conceiving by at least 50%.

How would that work? !

just to also add that saliva also kills sperm and is not a good addition to the mix when ttc.

What about other lubricants, such as Boots own branded one?

We need to use a lubricant for both of us - would pre-seed work for him as well - sometimes my husband gets a bit of discomfort. I'm really worried now!

I used pre-seed and I am sure that is why we got dd3 - 1st month of tryng!

I'm going to order some now. Just been looking online and it looks like all lubes can kill sperm - arrrgh!
