Progesterone and dryness

So this might be a too much info question, but none of my closes friends are in this situation, so I need your help.

The progesterone might be great for some things but one of the things I dislike is that it makes my vagina very dry.

I want to have relationships with my husband but so fas it's been a disaster and I am not sure what to do to make it more enjoyable.

Any advice or tips?

Thanks xx

I can understand, at the beginning was easier, now it's getting more uncomfortable.

Have you tried intimate lubricants sold for this purpose, such as Durex lube or similar?

Lube! Just make sure that it’s organic / baby- making friendly.

I will look for them, never hear of it. Have you use it?

Yes, we sometimes use it. If you search for conception friendly lube you should be able to find it - some normal lubes include things that don’t create a good environment for conception/pregnancy.
