Trying to conceive

Do lubricants such as durex stop pregnancy/ decrease the chances of becoming pregnant?

If the lubricant is on a condom, it would. Otherwise, no.

Ok thank you. We didn’t use a condom no.

The literature and opinions are mixed on the issue, but if you are trying to conceive, then it is thought some lubricants may reduce your chances. The general advice is, if TTC, to stick to sperm friendly lubes marketed for use by people trying to get pregnant.

I agree that lube alone will not function as an adequate means of contraception.

Some do but only if they contain spermicide. Not all do and its not overly effective on its own.
