Frequently Asked Questions

Can fertility lubricants really help you get pregnant first time?

While no product can guarantee pregnancy on the first attempt, fertility-friendly lubricants are specifically designed to support sperm survival and motility, unlike regular lubricants which can hinder conception. Many couples report positive experiences when using FDA-approved fertility lubricants as part of their conception journey. According to the NHS, around 1 in 7 UK couples experience fertility issues, so giving sperm the best environment possible can be helpful.

How long should we try to conceive before seeing a GP in the UK?

NICE guidelines recommend that couples under 35 should try to conceive naturally for 12 months before seeking a GP referral, whilst those over 35 should seek advice after 6 months. However, if you have known fertility issues or irregular cycles, your GP may refer you sooner. Your first step will typically be tests through your local NHS fertility services.

Are fertility lubricants safe to use when trying to conceive?

Fertility-friendly lubricants that are FDA-approved and specifically formulated for conception are considered safe to use whilst TTC. Unlike standard lubricants, they are designed to match the pH and consistency of fertile cervical mucus, creating a supportive environment for sperm. Always look for products that are clearly labelled as fertility-friendly or sperm-safe.

What can I do to boost my fertility naturally before trying IVF on the NHS?

Before considering NHS fertility treatment, many couples try natural approaches such as tracking ovulation, using fertility-friendly lubricants, taking appropriate supplements like folic acid, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The NHS recommends maintaining a healthy weight, reducing alcohol intake, and stopping smoking to improve your chances of conceiving naturally.

Do I need a prescription for fertility lubricants in the UK?

No, fertility-friendly lubricants do not require a prescription in the UK and can be purchased over the counter at pharmacies or online. They are recommended by doctors, pharmacists and fertility clinics as a simple first step for couples who are trying to conceive. However, if you have concerns about your fertility, it's always worth discussing them with your GP.

How does NHS fertility treatment funding work in England?

NHS fertility treatment funding varies depending on your local Integrated Care Board (formerly CCG), with eligibility criteria differing across England. NICE recommends that women under 40 should be offered 3 full cycles of IVF, but in practice, many areas offer fewer. It's worth checking your local ICB's criteria and exploring natural conception support options whilst awaiting any potential NHS treatment.

What fertility supplements should I take when trying for a baby UK?

The NHS recommends taking 400 micrograms of folic acid daily when trying to conceive and continuing until 12 weeks of pregnancy. Many women also choose to take additional fertility supplements containing ingredients like myo-inositol and vitamin D to support hormone balance and ovulation. Always check with your GP or pharmacist before starting any new supplements.
