Some things I consider staple products are trying to conceive lubricants before intimacy and Instead soft cups for after.

Will using a trying to conceive lubricant help me get pregnant?

To be clear, I am not saying trying to conceive lubricants will help you become pregnant, just that they aren’t supposed to kill the sperm.

The regular lubricants I have read can decrease the mobility of sperm, as well as kill them and may decrease your chances of becoming pregnant.

What are the benefits of using a trying to conceive lubricant?

Trying to conceive lubricants are great for women who are normally dry or for those who feel they do not make enough fertile cervical mucus on their own. It may even help those who have hostile cervical mucus.

Is it awkward using a trying to conceive lubricant?

I think if you add it to your routine using a lubricant doesn't have to be an awkward pause, let me apply this first. You could also apply some before starting and/or re-apply at little later. Of course, you wouldn't want to apply it too far in advance, since it probably wouldn't be as effective.

How do I know which lubricants are the ones that are safe to use when trying to conceive?

I know there are four lubricants that are said to be safe to use when trying to conceive. The most common are Preseed, Conceive Plus, and TTC Astroglide. You can purchase them online at retailers, such as Amazon.com. Sometimes local stores, such as Target or Walmart may carry them in stock. This may vary on your area. I am assuming Sylk is also safe to use when trying to conceive. I have heard that it is good to use Sylk when paired with a Girl Sway Diet.

Did Preseed contribute to getting pregnant?

Even though I consider trying to conceive lubricants a staple, I think there is a combination of things that helped me conceive my second and third pregnancy. Things that may have boosted my fertility and/or chances for those cycles. For example, Preseed helps create a fertile like and sperm-friendly cervical mucus. The kind of cervical mucus you look for on your fertile days. It also prevents me from becoming dry. The Instead Soft Cups hold the sperm closer to the cervix. The Clear Blue Fertility Monitor help monitor my high and peak fertile days. The ovulation tests help me know if I am ovulating and how long my surge is. The charting helps me estimate about when and if I ovulated, and if my luteal phase is too short, too long or just right. Together, I have a better picture of my 20% chance of conception that cycle.
