Frequently Asked Questions

Can fertility lubricants really help you get pregnant after years of trying?

Fertility-friendly lubricants are designed to be sperm-safe, meaning they won't hinder sperm motility like some regular lubricants can. Whilst they don't treat underlying fertility conditions, they can support conception by creating an optimal environment for sperm. According to the NHS, around 1 in 7 UK couples experience fertility issues, so every small step to support conception can be worthwhile.

How long should you try to conceive before seeing your GP for a referral?

NICE guidelines recommend that couples who have been trying to conceive for 12 months without success should be offered further clinical assessment and investigation. However, if you're over 36 or have known fertility concerns, you should speak to your GP sooner. Your GP can arrange initial tests and refer you to an NHS fertility clinic if needed.

What fertility supplements are recommended when trying to conceive in the UK?

The NHS recommends that women trying to conceive take 400 micrograms of folic acid daily until 12 weeks pregnant to help prevent neural tube defects. Many women also choose supplements containing Myo-Inositol, which may support hormone balance and regular ovulation. It's always advisable to check with your GP or pharmacist before starting any new supplement regime.

Is fertility treatment available on the NHS and how do I qualify?

Fertility treatment such as IVF is available on the NHS, but eligibility criteria vary depending on your local Integrated Care Board (formerly CCG). NICE recommends that women under 40 should be offered 3 cycles of IVF if they've been trying for 2 years, but unfortunately many areas offer fewer cycles due to funding constraints. Contact your GP to understand what's available in your area.

What are the NHS waiting times for fertility treatment in 2024?

NHS waiting times for fertility treatment can vary significantly across the UK, with some areas having waits of 12 months or longer before treatment can begin. The HFEA recommends checking your local ICB's policies and waiting times when planning your fertility journey. Many couples use this waiting period to focus on lifestyle changes and supplements that may support their chances of natural conception.

Are fertility lubricants safe to use and do they affect sperm quality?

Fertility lubricants are specifically formulated to match the pH and consistency of fertile cervical mucus, making them safe for sperm. Unlike regular lubricants, which can reduce sperm motility, fertility-friendly options are designed to support sperm survival and movement. Look for products that are clearly labelled as sperm-safe or fertility-friendly when shopping.

Can you still get pregnant naturally after being diagnosed with infertility?

Yes, natural conception is still possible for many couples even after an infertility diagnosis, as this inspiring story of success after 17 years demonstrates. The NHS defines infertility as not conceiving after 12 months of regular unprotected intercourse, but this doesn't mean conception is impossible. Lifestyle factors, supplements, and continued trying can sometimes lead to success alongside or before medical intervention.
