Frequently Asked Questions

What does FDA clearance mean for Conceive Plus in the UK?

FDA clearance demonstrates that Conceive Plus has undergone rigorous safety testing and has been confirmed compatible with sperm, eggs, and embryos. While the UK has its own regulatory standards, FDA clearance is internationally recognised as a mark of quality and safety. This clinical data was presented at the American Society for Reproductive Medicine annual meeting, adding further credibility to the product's fertility-friendly formulation.

Is Conceive Plus safe to use while trying to conceive naturally?

Yes, Conceive Plus has been clinically tested and classified as a Class II medical device that is compatible with human gametes (sperm and eggs) and embryos. Unlike regular lubricants which can harm sperm motility, Conceive Plus is specifically formulated to support conception. It's recommended by fertility clinics in over 60 countries and doesn't require a prescription.

Can I use fertility lubricants alongside NHS fertility treatment?

If you're undergoing fertility treatment through the NHS or a private clinic, it's always best to discuss any products you're using with your consultant or fertility nurse. Many couples use fertility-friendly lubricants during timed intercourse or while waiting for NHS referrals, as 1 in 7 UK couples experience fertility issues and waiting times can vary by CCG area.

What clinical evidence supports fertility-friendly lubricants like Conceive Plus?

Conceive Plus has been the subject of multiple clinical studies, with research presented at the 2009 American Society for Reproductive Medicine annual meeting. The product received FDA clearance in 2013 under product code PEB, specifically for personal lubricants that are gamete, fertilisation, and embryo compatible. This level of clinical scrutiny is important when choosing products during your TTC journey.

Do I need a prescription for Conceive Plus in the UK?

No, Conceive Plus is available without a prescription and can be purchased directly online or from pharmacies across the UK. It's recommended by doctors, pharmacists, and fertility clinics in more than 60 countries. Many couples trying to conceive use it as a first step before seeking NHS fertility referrals or private treatment.

How can I support my fertility naturally before seeing my GP?

The NHS recommends trying to conceive for at least a year before seeking a GP referral (or six months if you're over 36). During this time, you can support your fertility by maintaining a healthy weight, taking folic acid supplements, tracking your cycle, and using fertility-friendly lubricants like Conceive Plus. NICE guidelines also suggest both partners should avoid smoking and limit alcohol consumption.

Are fertility supplements like those from Conceive Plus worth taking?

Fertility supplements containing ingredients like Myo-Inositol and essential vitamins may help support hormone balance and ovulation, particularly for women with irregular cycles. While supplements aren't a substitute for medical treatment, they can complement a healthy lifestyle whilst trying to conceive. Always check with your GP or pharmacist before starting any new supplements, especially if you're already receiving fertility treatment through the NHS.
