Using lubricants, such as KY, Astroglide, etc, actually kill sperm. 'But I'm so dry with all this on demand sex and fertility drugs!' you say. Well, don't fret! There is something you can use! The only sperm friendly lubricant on the market and that is Pre~Seed. It can actually increase your chances of conception because it's creating the sperm friendly environment they need to get up through the cervix so they can then get through the uterus, and to the fallopian tubes. Clomid is notorious for drying you up and causing a hostile environment.
Saliva
A very little known fact is that saliva is hostile to sperm. It's best to skip the oral foreplay during your fertile window. (Sorry)
Infections
If you have a vaginal infection (yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis etc) it causes the pH of your vagina to be off which creates a hostile environment. After treatment, things will return to normal.
Cervical Hostility
As a whole, all of the above create cervical hostility but what if it just seems to happen naturally? Cervical hostility is basically your cervical fluid killing sperm before they have a chance to get anywhere. Here are some other things that cause cervical hostility.
- Poor Diet: Sometimes a poor diet (processed foods and too much sugar) can cause acidic cervical mucous. Change your diet to one that is high in vegetables to make it more alkaline and friendly to sperm.
- Dehydration: This can cause you to not produce enough or to produce CM that is too thick for sperm to swim through so drink plenty of water. (Extra tip: You can also take regular Mucinex (NOT the DM kind) to help thin out cervical mucous. You need to make sure it has only the ingredient guaifenesin in it for it to work).
