This was brought up on a previous post from someone and I thought I would make a major topic out of it becauase I never thought about it until this person mentioned it in her post, but feel it's important enough to bring up.
Ok, I never, ever thought of such a thing, when you're dry down there (it all happens to us from time to time and depending on where you are in you cycle) what do most of our Dh's do? Well being that most are not that bright (sorry, it's true) when it comes to bd, they spit all over their hand (s) to get it in there (again, sorry, tmi) and this particular post made mention does this saliva kill sperm and is that why maybe so many of us are taking longer than what it should to get pg??? Some girls responded back (only a few) and said to use natural mineral oil (buy at drug store-very cheap) or pre-seed oil (never heard of it but can buy it from www.drugstore.com) so do you all use dh's spit or something other than spit?? I can't imagine that most ladies on this site have thought about it, you just do it right? I haven't and I thought that I thought of everything!
What is your opinion on this topic and do you think his own saliva can kill his sperm making it an unsuitable living condition for them to survive? This really scares me as my dh "always" using a bit of spit (not the most romantic thing and not to mention, I am surprised not to have gotten an infection of some sort).
This just kind of got my mind going and maybe I'll even ask my doc in a few weeks when I go back. For me, I do not have or rather produce a sufficient amount of "cm or arousel" fluid, not that dh does not turn me in the least, he does, but I've always been like that. We know with ttc #1, not to use KY jelly or anything else just in case but saliva never came to mind.
Any thoughts, commments, it would be greatly appreciated as I am so boggled by this.
