eeeeeekkkk... i would choose canola oil over egg whites any day. oil i wouldn't mind trying but egg whites would be going a bit too far for me.
and i just tested out a drop of the canola oil and rubbed it between my fingers it feels the same as ky lube or any other type of lube, I honestly can't tell any difference, just the smell that's all! just tell your DH it's a special lube and he wouldn't know any difference? LOL
Here's info i just found...
---------------------------------------
These self reported findings include: 31% of respondents became pregnant using PreSeed.
This broke down into pregnancies in:
30% of couples who had been trying for 0- 2 months;
40% of couples trying for 3-6 months;
23% of couples trying for 7-12 months; and
31% of couples trying for one year or more.
This is in comparison to population studies suggesting a maximum pregnancy rate per cycle of 30% in presumed “fertile” couples over the first 2 cycles which then declines over the following cycles (Zinaman et al. Fert Ster 1996).
65% of these became pregnant in the first two cycles of use, and 35% became pregnant after 3 or more cycles of use. 51% of our users started using PreSeed after they had been trying to conceive for 7 or more months, and 54% of all folks who became pregnant had been trying to conceive for 7 or more months before they started using PreSeed.
The pregnancies reported resulted in: 17% a boy, 19% a girl, 35% reported no gender,29% had a lost pregnancy (miscarriage), including early “chemical” losses. The gender difference is likely not significant. The miscarriage rate is very consistent with pregnancy losses reported in other studies (31% - Wilcox et al, NEJM, 1988; 33% - Wang et al Fert Ster, 2003).
25% of all couples using PreSeed had undiagnosed infertility, 26% had diagnosed malefactor issues, and 34% had diagnosed female factor issues. Further, 25% were taking Clomid, and 16% other fertility medications.
For couples that became pregnant, this was 15% undiagnosed, 19% male factor, 23% female factor, with 21% on Clomid, and 21% on other fertility medications. 45% mentioned no infertility diagnosis.
84% of users liked “the way PreSeed feels” well enough to want to use it as their regular lubricant, if a more cost effective version were available for non-fertile times. 65% of users disliked the cost- this of course varied on if the couple had become pregnant or not!!! And 50% disliked that it wasn’t in a regular drugstore chain. 70% liked 6 or more applicators in a box; however, about 25% wanted a new “intro pack” size for people trying the product for the first time.

29% miscarried???? is it just me or does that seem pretty high?
