OKAY GIRLS ~ NEW QUESTION OF MINE (know others have posted some of this, but was just wondering if anyone actually is using it now-a-days *2008*)~
Been TTC naturally past two months, ~ last month used PRESEED, and then researched more and found info about Egg Whites ~ actually being BETTER than Preseed ~
Real egg whites replicate the same consistency as cervical mucus, and have a very neautral ph balance, which helps sperm get to the right place, and can help women's possibility of rejecting the sperm. So, used in conjunction with charting/OPK's, so that you are maximising your BD timing with ovulation, egg whites actually do increase odds of conception.
Below are some "instructions" I found that summarize what you need to do~making sure that everything you use is scrupulously clean.
~ Take a fresh egg
~ Leave it out to allow it to get to room temp
~ Crack it open and separate the yolk from the white
~ Mix the egg white up quite a bit to "break it up" with a clean fork
~ Use a pippette or a mini baster to collect about 15ml of egg white (I used a clean child's liquid medicine tube)
~ Insert into the vagina (don't use too much as I did ~ spilled out onto the sheets ~ ewy gooy...)
~ BD straight away
~ Wait 2 weeks and pray you get a BFP!
Since it also affects the ph balance of the cervial mucus, which helps couples......I also remember reading that in the US & UK they do "post-coital" tests which measures the ph balance of the semen and cervial mucus combined, and some womens CM simply kills of sperm straight away, wheras the egg white can neutralise this impact.
There are women that have hostile cm. Testing is the only way to determine if yours is hostile. When it is not a fertile time, cm is hostile naturally. It is the ewcm that allows the sperm to live when the time is right. I have read a great deal about the use of eggwhites, but still cannot bring myself to try it. The whole eggs and salmonella
