Raw egg whites... Please respond if you tried them!

[aussieagility]

Hello ladies... So... just wondering if anyone has used egg whites in TTC? I did this cycle 2 days ago and again today... But now I am a little paranoid. Too late now I suppose! But if you have ever tried this plz let me know! I got my positive opk today but definitely still hostile cm... sorry tmi... But I have been drinking green tea and taking robitussin... and I will be ordering preseed for next month... Not sure what else to try since my cm always seems to be hostile But seriously though... I would love to hear from someone who has actually tried this! Thanks in advance ladies!

Didn't wanna read and run hun not heard of it care to explain ? X

I haven't, and wouldn't. I would personally be afraid of infection. Plus, I'm very strict vegetarian and don't even eat eggs, so the thoughts of shoving eggwhites up my hoo-ha is icky to me, lol!

If you need lubrication, I'd stick with something like preseed. However, if you can go without lube, even better!! What do you mean by "hostile cm"? As in, it doesn't seem fertile/EWCM/watery? I would suggest evening primrose oil, grapefruit juice, lots of water to stay hydrated to boost fertile cm.

I tried to once, except once i got everyting ready i didnt have the guts to follow through. I heard of vegetable oil too, but again too scared of infection. Preseed worked wonders.

What works best for me is over doiing it on the drinking water. I start once i get af and by the time o time comes around i got LOTS of ewcm. but also like redlemonade said, primrose oil and grapefruit. Good luck!

lol thanks guys... PipsBabybean... Google using raw egg whites in ttc... When I say hostile cm I mean its never fertile cm... like creamy or watery... I have never seen ewcm Well other than quite a few years ago... I do need to start drinking water and keeping hydrated for sure... That easily could be part of my problem. I do not plan on using the egg whites again because it is now making me paranoid! But right now nothing bad seems to be happening as a result **knock on wood**!!
Anyway thanks ladies!

 

[redlemonade]

Hey watery CM is good too!! Some people don't get much EWCM at all, and it's still totally possible to get pregnant!

Definitely start with hydrating so. Given your username I guess you're in Australia? I have friends in Perth and they've been complaining of the heat so defo keep drinking water

 

[Ariannda]

no no no no no NEVER vegetable oil, it is NOT water soluble (egg whites are), never put anything NOT water soluble in your vagina, ever !

I've never tried or heard of this so I looked it up and just thought I'd leave a link for others that aren't aware of this

Sounds like as long as you kept things as clean as possible you are ok. Sounds more inexpensive and natural than preseed which has all sorts of ingredients.

**Not advocating either way (I DID buy preseed but don't like the fact that it has so many ingredients). Eh...whatever you feel comfortble with. Watery CM is next best thing to EWCM.

Good luck!

I heard of it but personally don't think I could try this. I do use preseed and it works well as far as lube goes. I used it two months in a row but no BFP yet. This cycle I drank plenty of water, two glasses of grapefruit juice a day up until O and took 2- 1000 mg of EPO and I still did not see any EWCM. I did however get what I think was watery cm. But you also have to be careful with EPO because women have been writing in these threads that it stopped or delayed O. Good luck hun! Let us know if the egg whites work!!

Here's a hint:


WARNING, it's kinda TMI...whatever.
Masturbate before you BD! lol. I'm trying that this month, I find I make soooo much EWCM after I orgasm on my own, then I go for round 2 with DH.... good to go!

 

[aussieagility]

Thanks ladies! I will definately let you know! I try again tomorrow (without the egg whites) and then on to the tww. Going to stay well hydrated in the meantime!
Good luck Fingers crossed for BFPs all around !

I worked in a gyn health clinic and I have seen first hand infections caused by inserting food in vaginas - including egg whites and vegetable oil. These are not infections that you want, nor will they benefit an early stage pregnancy. Although most of the time you will get away with it, it's not worth the risk for the times that you won't. I keep seeing posts here re: egg whites and I had to say something. Please be safe and use products made for your vagina.

Aussieagility - don't fret, I am sure you will be fine as the odds are in your favor, just please don't do this again.

 

[khalahari]

Love it, I know that sexual arousal fluid and fertile cm are not the same thing, but I wonder if they act the same. I have reasonably hostile cm so if this works I am game. double the fun. wink wink

Okay so is there anything I should be looking for infection wise? I am totally paranoid now... I have been having some sharp pain(not severe) in my lower abdomen area and feeling quite fatigued lately. I know its way too early for those to be pregnancy symptoms... So I am a bit conscerned. I then read something about uterine infections going hand in hand with sceptic shock... So I am a bit panicked! Any uhm... advice?

 

[ItsAWonder]

First bit of advice, don't panic. You are most likely fine and would most likely know by now if you had an infection. If you have abnormal spotting or bleeding, fevers, pus like discharge, smelly discharge etc. see your doctor.

I believe that some women do feel pregnancy symptoms early even though many just notice it due to symptom spotting.

However, if you have insurance and it's not difficult to see your doctor, than the piece of mind they can provide may help. It's worth going for a pre-conception visit anyway. You can get pre-natal vitamins if you want them, a pap if you haven't had one etc. It's worth giving them a call if it will settle your nerves.

 

[aussieagility]

yea.... nothing crazy like that... i just need to relax...thank you i will let you know when i know!

 

[ItsAWonder]
