Sperm friendly lube? I can't beleive I am asking this...

I am on clomid and it's side effect is kicking in. I thought I read that there are some sperm friendly lubes out there. Was Astroglide one of them?

  • I think pre-seed is the only sperm friendly lube on the market.

  • I think it's a perfectly good question.  For what it's worth, our andrologist told us not to use anything at all... pre-seed does advertise itself as being sperm friendly but it was our dr's opinion that it only interferes with sperm doing what they need to do.
  • pre-seed is the only one I know of.  I dont' think you can get it in stores (at least I've never found it), but you can order it on drugstore.com.  

     

    Good luck!!!

    This is what my RE told me as well.  She told us not to use any lube bc they will all kill or "disable" sperm.  It may not be a problem for you though...we have slight MFI so that is why we are not allowed to use any.  I would ask your dr to find out for sure.
