Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

hi.. i am ttc for the last 3 months; been using KY-Jelly for lubrication; saw an article in the web which said that most gels - tho' they are not spremicidal - can affect sperm motility;

do u think i shld try without the use of any external lubricant? bcos i am normally very dry & it pains a lot if i try without any lub. when my gynec prescribed XY, she said to try with it for the first few times.. then do it 'natural'.

if any1 has any previous experience with XY-Jelly pls pls pls pls write to me.

thanks in advance

archie replied. I am with your gynec that you should use it for few times and then get on natural without lubricants.
The fact you have been ttc for 3 months means you have used KY jelly for plenty of times. Why don't you stop using it now.
If the pain was due to penetration being difficult then by now because you got used to intercourse the pain must not be as bad. Also Ky gelly may adds to easeness when refered to penetration and pain for you but when not known as to if that would have an impact on sperm motility it's not best to try while ttc.

Regardless whether or not KY jelly affects sperm motility you should give a natural try and bear with some pain.

Why don't you try to do some foreplay and if possible get your orgasm before penetration, that might help you a lot on your pain part. It may get difficult initially to get you orgasm point but once you get there all will be easy.
