I'm Currently Feeling:  | Question about Lubrications and TTC
Ok, there will probably be TMI in this post...so sorry in advance for that.. 
I've heard the myth that some lubricatons can hinder you when TTC, the chemicals can cause damage to the sperm, and therefore lowering your chances.
Does anyone know if there is any truth to these myths?
We use KY warming liquid....Cause sometimes ya know, I just don't feel like doing all the work myself
Also, I've heard that if you use Saliva, that there are bacteria that can kill sperm, does anyone know if this is true?
Is there a safe lubricant to use.....one that won't decrease your chances???  All this stuff makes my head spin!!
Haha
Thanks |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | With KY it is true, its not good for sperm at all.
There is a TTC safe lube called preseed, i know this is avalaible in the US, not sure for you for Aus. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I take a certain medicaton that makes me dry, so I have to use lubrication. The 1st month we used Preseed I became pregnant! Wahoo!!! Definitely worth a try  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Really? Lol see now I feel like a bit of a twit for not looking into this more!
We have been using KY warming liquid since we first started TTC.
Perhaps this change will bring us some good luck!
I'm pretty excited about this now...
I'm not waiting on Pro-Active - but I just might kiss the mail man anyhow!  |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | We don't use lube because i've always been scared that lube might be spermicidal.
I know with AI'ing mares they have to use special syringes and lubes as the regular latex syringes and lube are spermicidal.
I hope preseed speeds your BFP along NeyNey  |
