Is lube necessary?

This is my first cycle with meds and so far Femara has dried up any CM I had. I've never had a problem with CM until now. I'll be taking my Ovidrel tomorrow morning and BD'ing tomorrow night - Friday night and I'm wondering if a lube will help get the swimmers there. Any suggestions?

    Most lube is not sperm friendly.  Even Pre Seed kills some of the sperm in the process, just not as much as regular lube.

    I'd skip lube if you can.

    I had this same CM issue when I was on Clomid and was told that lubricants can really affect sperm motility...and not in a good way.  There are some approved ones, can't remember them off the top of my head, but check with your RE/OB first just to be on the safe side.

    You can try egg whites... nasty yes but it is safer than Lube.  Next cycle I would order the pre-seed.  It worked well for us.
