Brief Answer:
Clinger kills sperms

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concern about effect of clingen pessary on Sperms.

Yes. Clingen is spermicidal. Meaning it is going to kill sperms and cannot be inserted if you are trying for pregnancy.
You can finish the course of clingen pessaries this month as per prescription by your Gynecologist and try for pregnancy after completion of medicine.

Let me know if you need any more help.
