Positive stories TTC using fertility lube?

Hey all!

I'm TTC number #2 but still breastfeeding my 1yo... As a result, SO and I need to use lube as feeding has almost completely stopped any natural readiness!

Not gonna lie, things are a lot more functional than sensational in the bedroom with a 1yo and full time jobs. So using lube seems a must. But I'm really worried that relying on it means we can't get a BFP. 😓

Does anyone have any advice or success stories of using conception friendly lubes? We're using First Response.

People will suggest preseed but the ingredients are shocking.. The only thing you need to be mindful of is using a product that would stop sperm from travelling up or that might damage it but apart from it doesn't do anything that would hinder conception :-) so the fertility friendly ones don't actually increase your chances, they just don't decrease them :-)

Conceive Plus worked first time for us.

As above for me too.

We used pre-seed with #1 and conceived the second month using it (third month trying). This time we conceived on the 4th month and didn’t use any so I don’t know how much difference it makes really but definitely helps when you just need to tick a box or put a heart on your calendar 😂

Pre seed worked for us, first month we used it. Actually only used it once which is a bit annoying given the price 😂 had a healthy baby girl.

I don't know if it was a coincidence but worked for me after trying for 4 years

If what you're saying is that you need lube to help out then definitely use pre-seed or conceive plus. Regular lube will inhibit sperm whereas fertility friendly ones will not. It's not a miracle fertility booster but at least you know it's not hurting your chances

Anecdotally we conceived first-time and were using it. Now third cycle trying for our second and using it too.

We conceived the first month using pre-seed
