SA sample collection

Hello! Can you please tell me, are we allowed to use any lubrication (eg. preseed) for a home SA sample colection? The fertility clinic told us not to use anything (no matter if masturbating or using a condom, which I already bought). I am not sure if I can do that without any lubrication. We usually use preseed while TTC. Thank you for your answer. Any sugestion would be much appreciated. Regards.

You should not use any lubrication for a semen analysis.
Preseed is ok for intercourse but for a semen analysis they prefer no lubrication.
