Can I use lubricant if I’m trying to get pregnant?

If you are trying to get pregnant, you should have as natural an environment for the sperm as possible. You should preferably not use anything that either affects the pH value or that can make it more difficult for the sperm to move easily or make their way up. Therefore, avoid all kinds of lubricants unless you really have to use one to be able to have intercourse. In that case, it’s better to use a little lubricant than nothing at all – a water-based lubricant such as Klick Natural Glide is good to use.
