I have been trying to conceive for 5 months and no luck????

I saw on the net that using a lubricant interfers with you getting pregnant. Does anyone know if this is true. And has anyone gotten pregnant while using a lubricant. I would hate if that was the only thing preventing me from getting pregnant when i was getting so worried.

Answers:
Yeah a lubricant could interefere. But not so that you should consider using it as birth control!

Are you doing things like taking your temp? Look on the web for fertility info - your temp drops just prior to ovulation so you should time sex for then. There are also kits available that tell you when you are most fertile.

A couple of other things that can help the process - just prior to intercourse during your fertile time, use a mild baking soda douche and DO NOT use the lubricant. The baking soda creates a more conducive environment to the sperm, who survive better in a slightly alkaline environment rather than an acid environment. Also, make sure your partner has been wearing looser clothes, etc.

Good luck!

You know I tried for over a year with NO lube with my ex and I couldnt get pregnant. I tried everything. BBT and charting still no luck. Within 2 weeks of getting married to my husband (a different man) I ended up pregnant! No charting no nothing and yes we use lube all the time. Lube had no effect on us... but thats us.
