Its just suggesed that you dont use those forms of lube! It can cause Sperm to die off and most women who are TTC and having trouble dont want to really take the risk! As long as you dont come in full contact with it you should be good.
Yet more than half of couples trying to conceive also deal with the usual problems of skin & vaginal dryness, and logically turn to sexual lubricants or saliva to solve that problem. Yet scientific research is pretty clear in showing that many sexual lubricants impair not only the movement, but also the survival of sperm.
The most important features of sperm fertility success are staying alive and the ability to move around. For this they’ll need:
a basic pH environment (or in gardening lingo, lime [basic] not sweet [acidic]),
a moderate amount of food (glucose is preferred over fruit sugars),
the perfect amount of salts (aka osmolality),
a liquid-y swimming fluid, aka semen (too dry makes it too sticky, and too concentrated makes the semen toxic),
no alcohol (dissolves their membranes),
and should we say, a little bit of lovin’?
Commonly available sexual lubricants such as KY, Astroglide, & Replens have all been shown to stop sperm in their tracks, and kill sperm after an hour's time in the pool. Even that natural stand-by, saliva, decreases sperm movement and progression.

Hope this helps answer your Questions and concerns somewhat!
