Lubic jelly affects fertility because sperms can't move freely in the jelly after deposition in vagina , hence die due to the acidic pH . I would advice against using it and try natural ways to arousal .
Or water based jelly Like KY Jelly can be used . It has practically no negative effect

The one that I have allready used is called Neon Lubricating jelly, Sterlite it says water soluble for general lubricating needs ingredients: synthetic and vegetable gum . This one not advisable ? ANy ky jelly is advisable ?
Brief Answer:
KY Jelly is better but avoidable alternative
Detailed Answer:
Hello
That is exactly what I am trying to say. Synthetic and Vegetable gums entangle sperms where as they need to swim very fast to move in to cervix. Ideally speaking, if you are trying for pregnancy, nothing artificial should be used and the job of lubrication should be done by adequate and enjoyable fore play.

Does that mean the fertility rate becomes Zero ? Or there are still chances ?
Brief Answer:
Fertility rate is reduced
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Fertility rate can be zero only in azoospermia but in all other cases, the fertility rate will be reduced ,not become zero. After all, you need only one sperm to get a pregnancy, rest millions are destined to die so chances are reduced but not zero.
