Is it safe to use oil-based lubricants when trying to conceive?

Oil-based lubricants are generally not recommended when trying to conceive naturally. These lubricants can potentially damage sperm cells, disrupt the vaginal pH balance, and increase the risk of infections. Water-based or fertility-friendly lubricants are typically safer options for couples attempting to conceive.
