Honey

Salam all,

A friend of mine just shared a desi elaaj (pls share ur views or experiences if any of you have come across it). She said that women TTC should dip a tampon in honey and from the 5th day of period till the 11th keep it in. (Use a fresh one daily) and then from 12th till 15th day go abt the activity. Anyone heard of this… Your views???

WHAT THE HECK? can you rephrase that

ewww wots tht???

Re: Honey

Sadi, I dont think I'd try that one. Maybe it used to be used as a kind of lubricant but I've never heard of it and would worry about infection...cause its so very sticky that it would not get cleaned out. Not good!

There was a thread recently about a product called pre-seed, maybe look into that....its made for that purpose.

Re: Honey

WTF!!!!

Ever heard of TSS ??

Re: Honey

lets not pick on her here!! When I was having so much trouble conceiving, I heard all kinds of incredible, unbeleivable advice (stand on your head for 30 minutes after having sex was one of the more amusing ones).

Its a great thing to ask and find out yeah?

Mo3, I asked this friend what could be behind this (she has apparently done it herself) and she said the honey gets rid of any impurities that might be present in the uterus and in surrounding areas. I dont' plan on doing this I heard it and was curious if anyone here had heard of such a herbal thing...

Re: Honey

Saadi, I've read alot about honey and indeed it has some anti-biotic effects but this is when it is eaten. I think I'd go for more modern-medicine type things in this case...I just think that following your friends advice could cause more harm than good....just my opinion, not a medical one.

Re: Honey

avoid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this ilaj could make things worse rather then better.
try sleeping with a little pillow under ur bottom after intercourse.
it took me over a year to conceive my daughter and that worked.
