EWCM - is this a silly question??

[Julia]

I have read somewhere that you can use actual egg whites when BDing in order to improve conception chances if you don't have much EWCM at your fertile time - is this true or just an old wives tale???

 

[Rachael]

Julia it's true!

I know it sounds a bit YUCK, but egg whites have the same consistency as the most fertile cervical fluid, therefore creating the perfect medium to transport sperm to it's destination.

Its proberbly a bit messy, but if it works, who cares!

 

[Julia]

Thanks for the reply Rachael....my husband would probably think I was mad if I tried it....anyway - no eggs in fridge!!

EEEEWWWW!!!!

After a week it would smell like rotten egg!!!!!! TMI!!

Also what about Salmonella!!!!

 

[Clarebo]

Yucky indeed. But when you look at this...

It just doesn't seem terribly hygenic, does it.

What if you got really hot and they cooked?!!

 

[Rachael]

Hee hee you lot are mad!

Personally I don't think sperm is all that nice either, so a bit of egg white wouldn't have bothered me that much....Fortunately we got there without it! - It took us 5 years, 3 miscarriages and one failed IVF though!
