Waiting to try:Lubricants ?

2005-05-12

Name: asha Hi Archie,

I have a doubt in my mind- Does KY Jelly( and other lubricants like vaseline, oil etc) affects the motility or life of sperms? Does it have anything to do with the ttc process? Because we use a good amount of KY jelly while having intercourse. I hope it doesn't have any adverse effects.

Hope to get an answer soon!

Preseed

Hi Asha
I believe KY and other lubricants are not very good for sperms to survive in.They dont recommend these if you are TTC,there is one that i have seen to be advertised as sperm friendly called\";Preseed \";lubricant and its supposed to to the job without hurting the little guys.:-)
you can look it up on the internet as well.
Good luck in your TTC journey
Lets hope may brings all of us JOY!!
bye for now ...

Hi SSS,

First of all let me tell you- I really liked the line when you said " the little guys" :-) . You made me laugh dear. I am waiting for my husband to tell this.

Anyways, thanks for your reply. see I didn't know that KY Jelly is not sperm friendly. I thought it is a well known lubricant, so shouldn't have any problem. I will surely look for the brand you mentioned.

Hey by the way, you wrote in your last post about drinking a lot of water in order to have enough cervical mucus- does it really help? Should I do the same thing? Although I know that drinking a lot of water is always good for body & health.

Thanks,
Asha
