The doctor will tell you no you can't.  Your bodily fluids could mix in with the sperm in the cup and then the whole thing is a bust.  They tell you not to use any liquids when retrieving.  

good luck!

We never have tried that, however, I know a friend of mine did that while using a special condom that didn't have anything on it.
