Bon, je n’ai pas de difficulté à être enceinte mais ca met généralement 3 ou 4 mois. Je dirais que ca a marché. EN tout cas, ca fait pas de mal et ca joue son role de lubrifiant!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can fertility lubricants really help me get pregnant faster?

Fertility-friendly lubricants like Conceive Plus are designed to be compatible with sperm, unlike regular lubricants which can impair sperm motility. Whilst they won't guarantee conception, they provide a supportive environment for sperm during intercourse without hindering their journey. Many couples find them helpful, particularly if vaginal dryness is an issue when trying to conceive.

How long should I try to conceive before seeing my GP?

According to NICE guidelines, you should visit your GP if you haven't conceived after one year of regular unprotected intercourse, or after six months if you're over 36. Your GP can arrange initial fertility tests and refer you to a specialist if needed. Remember, around 1 in 7 UK couples experience fertility issues, so seeking help is completely normal.

Are fertility lubricants safe to use when TTC?

Yes, fertility-friendly lubricants are specifically formulated to be safe when trying to conceive. Products like Conceive Plus are FDA-approved and designed to match the body's natural pH and osmolality, ensuring they don't harm sperm. Always look for lubricants that are clearly labelled as fertility-friendly or sperm-safe.

What's the difference between regular lubricant and fertility lubricant?

Regular lubricants can contain ingredients that damage sperm or create a hostile environment that reduces sperm motility. Fertility lubricants are specially formulated to mimic your body's natural cervical mucus, providing lubrication whilst supporting sperm survival and movement towards the egg.

Can I get fertility supplements on the NHS?

Fertility supplements are generally not available on NHS prescription, as they're classed as food supplements rather than medicines. However, your GP may recommend folic acid, which is available free if you have a valid prescription exemption. Most fertility supplements need to be purchased privately from pharmacies or online retailers.

How can I improve my chances of getting pregnant naturally in the UK?

The NHS recommends having regular intercourse every two to three days throughout your cycle, maintaining a healthy weight, reducing alcohol intake, and taking folic acid supplements. Using a fertility-friendly lubricant can also help if you experience dryness. If you smoke, stopping is one of the most important changes you can make for your fertility.

When is the best time to use fertility lubricant during my cycle?

You can use fertility lubricant whenever you have intercourse whilst trying to conceive, but it's particularly beneficial during your fertile window—typically the five days before ovulation and the day of ovulation itself. Using it during this time helps ensure optimal conditions for sperm when conception is most likely.
