Quick answer

Use a fertility lubricant during your fertile window by applying a small amount internally before intercourse. Choose a sperm-friendly, pH-balanced formula like Actively Trying Fertility Lubricant to avoid hindering sperm motility.

Why regular lubricant can hinder conception

Standard lubricants often contain ingredients that can slow or kill sperm, reducing your chances of conception. Fertility-friendly lubes are designed to mimic your body's natural fluids, supporting sperm movement rather than impeding it.

Step-by-step guide to using fertility lubricant

  1. Step 1: Identify your fertile window: Use ovulation predictor kits or track your cycle to pinpoint your most fertile days. This maximizes the effectiveness of the lubricant. Using lube on non-fertile days won't help conception.
  2. Step 2: Apply a small amount before intercourse: Squeeze a pea-sized drop of fertility lubricant onto your fingers or directly onto the vulva. Gently apply it internally to reduce friction. More lube isn't better; excess can dilute sperm concentration.
  3. Step 3: Reapply if needed without overdoing it: If you feel dryness during intercourse, add a tiny bit more. Avoid using large amounts, as this may create a barrier. Stick to water-based formulas; silicone lubes can be harder to clean and less sperm-friendly.
  4. Step 4: Lie still after intercourse: Remain lying down for 10–15 minutes to give sperm time to travel. This simple habit can improve your chances. Don't rush to the bathroom immediately; gravity can help.
  5. Step 5: Clean up gently: After waiting, use warm water to rinse off any residue. Avoid harsh soaps or douches that may disrupt pH balance. Fertility lubricant is designed to be gentle, so a simple rinse is sufficient.
