Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

hi all,
i have a strange problem.i´ m married for 4 yrs & trying to conceive from past 5 months, but with no success.
my problem is from past 4 yrs my husband is used to condoms while having intercourse.so while TTC he couldnt take out his condoms as he was very conscious & used to say it hurt him a lot.so what i did was make a hole in the condom so that the sperm flows out of the hole & gets inside me.i thought in this way he will have the feeling of wearing a condom at the same time we can conceive also as all the sperms used to flow out when we did this way.my husband feels very conscious when his foreskin touches directly inside me. he is just not able to do it. so now since i havent conceived i fear if we are doing it wrong.is this the reason we are not conceiving?is it because the lubricants used in condoms are harmful & are killing the sperms.plz tell me are we doing it right or whether it shouldnt be done this way?is it necessary to do it completely natural without using condoms for TTC.plz help.i´ m getting too worried as its high time i should have a baby now.plz tell me is this the reason?what should i do?thank u all in advance sujatha replied. Dear Monica,
Yes using condoms may affect your chances of conceiving, because the lubrication used in condoms will kill the sperms, this is our experience. once during our trials of Articial insemination, when dr. asked to get the semen of husband , he collected in condom and took it to dr., He said it is the biggest mistake and showed us in microscope how sperms died. so, your chances will defenitely decrease with condoms, try to avoid them if you want to conceive. sujatha replied.
