Using lube while TTC

My husband and I are TTC for our second baby. I came off the pill a few weeks ago for this reason, the pill had been causing lots of unpleasant symptoms including vaginal dryness which has made sex really uncomfortable. It has been even worse since coming off the pill so we have had to buy some lube.

The lube we have been using is the Yes! Water based lube, it says it has no glycerine or hormones in it and I chose it as the reviews said it was good for dryness or painful sex.

I’m concerned whether this will affect our TTC? I’ve seen some things online that the lube can negatively impact the sperm?

Just wondered if anyone had any experiences of something similar.

We used PreSeed. There are a few lubricants you can buy which support TTC.

Lube is said to affect fertility. We used Preseed

We used a lube called Conceive Plus, think we got it from Amazon. Probably a coincidence but we conceived the first month of switching to that having used regular water-based lube previously.

Good luck OP!

I’d use a lube that’s made for TTC just to have better chances x
