Trying to Get Pregnant

Probably the dumbest question ever. Egg whites as lube?

I'm starting Clomid this cycle, and I know it can really dry things up-- at least that's what I've read. I thought about purchasing Preseed, but had read online that you could use actual egg whites and it would work similarly to the EWCM your body naturally produces. If so, I'm willing to try it. It just sounds ridiculous, honestly. Have any of you ever tried it? Or know anything definitive about how well sperm can travel in it?

  • Thanks for the input, everyone! I guess I'll go pick up some Preseed tomorrow. :)
  • I just tried preseed and it gave me an awful yeast infection 2 months in a row. I read that this can be common for some women. I won't touch it now. Even so, I wouldn't even think about real eggs.
  • I remember reading a passage about this in TCOYF and being so skeeved. Blech.

  • I keep thinking of the scene from the movie Hot Shots where Charlie Sheen fries an egg on that chicks stomach. Anyone?

  • Firstly, thank you to those who replied to my question. As I said earlier, I'll skip the egg whites and go buy some Preseed. Secondly, yes, I am with an OB. But my post has nothing to do with that? Also, I wasn't asking anything about Clomid, and I especially wasn't asking anyone to "kiss my ass." I'm not sure why that reply was even posted in this thread about lube?


    I'll contact a local RE and make an appointment. I haven't started the Comid yet (still waiting for Provera to work), so unless I have it prescribed by an RE, I won't be taking it at all. Thanks, again, for the advice. 
  • I'm pretty sure this is along the same lines as "if you microwave your phone, it will charge".

    I took a mental health break. I was kind of getting down about my crazy cycles. But I just had my pap and my OB was very reassuring and the next day I ovulated on CD 13 as opposed to the 30+ days it was taking. So I'm back! Ready to start post whoring again. So sweet of you to notice. I've missed you too!

    Welcome back!

  • @walters38‌ I don't know anything about Clomid, but we have been using coconut oil in addition to the Preseed injectors. Coconut oil is sperm-safe and helps protect from UTIs as well. We've been using it for over a year, even before TTC and I actually like it better than most of the lubes we have tried.

    I won't lie, the idea of egg whites freak me out a little bit though. But I'm sure others think coconut oil is weird. To each their own.

    Sounds like a good way to get an infection...or make meringue!

    I will never look at a lemon meringue pie or macaron the same way again.

  • Oh.. They told me to search my question? Sorry.

    Yes. But most of these people aren't here anymore. So if you ask them a question they can't answer you. So.....
