When trying to conceive, it is vital to provide an environment where sperm has a chance of survival. Environmental conditions are affected by many factors including pH levels, osmolality (the concentration of substances like sodium and potassium) and the consistency of egg-white cervical mucus.
While traditional lubricants may affect these conditions by slowing down sperm motility, studies have shown that Astroglide’s TTC lubricant allows sperm to move freely.
The TTC lubricant is perfect for couples that are trying to conceive. It is specially formulated with adjusted pH levels, compatible osmolality and a consistency similar to that of your own cervical mucus, making it less likely to hinder sperm motility than other lubricants. TTC also contains galactose, which is naturally found in semen, as well as fructose, the main source of energy for sperm.
If you are actively trying to conceive, it’s best to use TTC right before intercourse when your body is most fertile. For a woman with an average 28-day menstrual cycle, this is within 5 days before and up to ovulation, which occurs around 12 days after your period starts. However, women’s cycles may vary from 21 to 35 days and not all women ovulate every month.
Like all Astroglide products, TTC also temporarily relieves vaginal dryness during sexual activity and may be used whenever you need a personal lubricant.
