Doc had told me lubes like ky yours, kill sperm and should be avoided when ttc, true? what would you recommend? i don't need one but i'd like option.

Lubricants: Most lubricants will work against sperm motility. Preseed and conceive plus are two that supposedly don't. If at all possible it is probably best not to use a lubricant while try to conceive.
