Congrats on TTC-- in response to your questions: You do not need to achieve orgasm in order to get pregnant. Of course it makes it that much pleasurable, but definitely not a necessity.
Regarding the KY Jelly: YES, It interferes with your cervical mucus and any form of lubricant is toxic to the sperm. This doesn't mean you can't get pregnant while using KY but when you are ACTIVELY trying to conceive, it is not a good idea to use lubricants.

Saliva: It CAN kill sperm, believe it or not. If a man produces enough sperm then it's no big deal. But when a man produces little sperm then he can use all the viable sperm he can get. Again, limit the amount of saliva you are using as lube since you are actively trying.
