Question : Can we use a lubricant while trying for pregnancy? If not then what can we use for easy penetration?
Brief Answer:
Use KY Jelly
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
Yes,you can use lubricant but only Water based lubricants are safe . Most others have spermicidal property . I suggest like KY Jelly will do. Next question is -why do you need lubricant? I think if you indulge in foreplay with the purpose of give and take pleasure, she should have adequate lubrication . Please have sex for pleasure, not pregnancy because goal directed sex often leads to failures , dryness and pain.
