This is kind of a weird question

So we are trying to get pregnant and I was surprised to find out that KY (and I'm sure other brands) is a spermicide.  This is what I've read several places online.  Has anyone else heard this or do I just live under a rock?  Let's just I need it though since I'm still breastfeeding.

    Buy some pre-seed, it's sperm friendly.  It's supposed to create a healthy environment for the sperm to travel in.  I used it while TTC both kids.

    It's not a spermicide (or else it would be used as BC), but it's not the most sperm-friendly stuff on the planet. People can still get pregnant using it.

    Preseed is one of the more well-known sperm-friendly lubes.

    Right!  Just slows 'em down I guess.  I have heard of preseed, maybe I will try that.

    I think it's more of a pH thing.

    Yep, pre-seed all the way!

    Best of luck with your TTC!

    I've heard of that but we used lubricant and got pregnant the first month we tried.  If you are really concerned about it buy pre-seed.  It's a special lubricant that's not supposed to impact fertility.  GL

    Might sound a bit strange but you can also use raw egg whites as a lubricant.   Although due to a language barrier I had a patient use cooked egg whites...they got pregnant that cycle...maybe they are on to something.  LOL Anyway...
