Guys,

The real egg white thing is widely debated........Toni Weshcler in her book Taking Control of Your Fertility recommends it, and I have read about it on other sites (mostly US sites).

I investigated it myself and asked a GP friend of mine her medical opinion, & also my OB. The both said pretty much the same thing: "There is no scientific proof, but as long as everything is scrupulously clean, & you minimise the risk of infection, it can't hurt to try".

Real egg whites replicate the same consistency as cervical mucus, and have a very neautral ph balance, which helps sperm get to the right place.

So, used in conjunction with charting/OPK's, so that you are maximising your BD timing with ovulation, egg whites MIGHT help in conception.

Below are some "instructions" that summarise what you need to do: always make sure that everything you use is scrupulously clean.

~ Take a fresh egg
~ Leave it out to allow it to get to room temp
~ Crack it open and separate the yolk from the white
~ Mix the egg white up a bit to "break it up" with a clean fork
~ Use a pippette or a mini baster to collect about 15ml of egg white
~ Insert into the vagina
~ BD straight away
~ Pray you don't get an infection
~ Wait 2 weeks and pray you get a BFP!

It goes without saying that you should check with your Dr if you are at all unsure of this method.
