Real EW

[Zivic-Bubac]

I'm planning to use some this cycle
Here's a clip I find very helpful http://www.tryingtoconceive.com/eggwhites.htm

You'll see, they suggest to use glob of EW, but wouldn't that be too much? From my experience (5-6 cycles ago) even 2-3 ml feels like too much Not to mention how much it slips out

ZB we didn't use them but I did try inserting some once, just to check it out ... and yes, the glob REALLY is a MESS! I think it was Lola who mentioned sitting on the toilet while inserting, then having a big O to suck some up in there. Maybe that is something you can try?

Just use 1 or 2 ml no need for more . There is no way I can have O on the toilet so I would just lay on the bed and you only have to put in the ew right before DH is ready to "go" so it's not like you have to have it in before the whole bd.

i tried this also...and used teh same site for reference. what i did was use the children's medicine dropper upto like 4 ML i think (sort of less than that). i laid down on a towel and insert very slowly very slowly so that the dropper was WAY up in there (and i dont like putting things up there so it took a few min to adjust and get used to teh feeling). then when i felt thati coundt go any further (without "hitting anything"), i gently squeezed it out. then lay there a while and had an O. then layed down a little longer (like 2-3 min) and it didnt really fall out. then when i peed some came out. i thought it was lost in there forever. i think when she says to use the glob, *i* assumed she meant to use the thicker part of the EW, not the runny. and so what i did was scoop up the thicker EW and dumped the rest, then sucked up some glob in the dropper and squeezed out until i reached a little less than 4ml.

hope that helps..gravity helps and i think O does too!

Thank you for advices guys! You're the best!
However I ended up NOT using real EW bcos I had (some) EWCM with great pH of almost 8
If I get another BFN, I'm using real EW next cycle for sure!

Having an O on the toilet...now that takes some dedication!!!

I agree with Flava, you can O beforehand and then insert the EW. The idea that the cervix sucks up semen or EW was debunked some time ago but keeps hanging around as tenaciously as Dr. Shettles. http://infertility.about.com/b/2009/...t-pregnant.htm.

Some other mechanism may be at play that helps though. http://infertility.about.com/od/sext...t-Pregnant.htm
