I was obsessed with OPKs and PreSeed, too! I've heard of that egg-white thing...I considered it for a second but was worried about infection as well.

Hmmm...there are so many crazy things to choose from :-)
I think the craziest thing is propping up my bottom on pillow for 30 mins every time after having sex.
