After reading the TTC a Girl library (and DH read it too!!) We thought we'd try the Hole in the Condom scenario...however we're struggling to find a) spermicidal condoms and/or b)spermicidal lubes.
We thought of using a normal condom but mixing some water based lube with some spermicide and seeing how that works - but we can't get the vital "ingredients" unless we order online (mainly from America) , but DH wants to go to a shop (like boots) and pick them up himself so he can satisfy himself that he's buying the right thing by speaking to a pharmacist.
We have, however, found a lube that states "Warning: This does not contain spermicide. However it can slow sperm down. We recommend that if you are trying for a baby that you consult with a doctor before using this product".
Will that work on it's own, as a replacement for HIC for TTC a girl?
I mean without the condom and watery lube?
As I've said in previous posts, we're TTC from September onwards, but honestly believe it'll be a BFP in September after first attempt as we've always gotten pregnant on the first attempt - so trying to sway as much as we can in a short time!!
Some background: On a (kind of) LE diet (feel I'm eating way too much) and upped cardio from 30 to 60mins a day. Taking 2000mcg Folic acid daily and will be using SI during AF in September. Trying to think what's relevant here...um 5 kids - oldest is a girl, then four boys (also had a missed miscarriage at 20wks, before my girl - a precious wee boy).

Couldnt find spermicide foam/ lube in Norway as well. It is because some of the incredients were not safe, carcinogenic I think. Will be using Rephresh as lube except for th n attempt at pos OPK, and stop there. Time is not on my side, so I have to pick! GL!

Just wanted to address the carcinogenic thing - using spermicide on occasion will not cause cancer.

I think if you can't find spermicide maybe lime is the way to go ?

First - have sleeping baby on me so 1handed typing sorry for mistakes x
Thanks for the info - but <this may seem strange> I'd rather use something from a pharmacy...not sure I trust mtself well enough to try and make something and I wouldn't feel comfortable putting stuff up there that's not designed for it (i realise lime is more natural, less chemicals etc). the thing is i get irritated down there quite easy - have to change brands of sanitary towels every other month as get left very dry sore and itchy on outside (forget tampons)!! Tried organic ones and tghey worked for 2 months before i reacted...so i have to very careful!!
This is the one we got :Durex Play Aloe Vera Kind and Gentle Intimate Lube 50ml - Boots it says on the page about slowing down sperm so here's hoping xx
thanks again xxLast edited by Coyleof7; July 15th, 2013 at 06:09 PM.
