I just thought for those of us that are just getting started it may be helpful to share all of the tricks that are up our sleeves. Perhaps you all have some ideas that I haven't heard of... So far: 1)I take guaifenesin (400 mg) daily starting about 6 days prior to ovulation (found these pills at Walmart). 2)I use Pre-Seed lubricant during BMS. 3) I chart on mymonthlycycles.com and I recently downloaded another free fertility software (just trying to increase my odds). 4) I just started using Instead cups during my fertile time to keep spermies closer to my cervix (and I tap the cup every once in awhile and induce climax after cup is first placed-TMI). 5)I try to stay in place for a minimum of 20 minutes post coitus. Okay, now that I've shared my latest arsenal of tricks and shared WAY more than I had planned...I look forward to seeing what else I could be doing. Posted on 05/14/08, 11:05 am |

They are cups you can wear during your period to catch blood. I think they are stupid. Cause once you go to take them down your going to spill the blood in your vagina. I just stay on my back with a pillow under my rear for at least 15-20 min. Just started with the preseed. I have also been on a break wating for Dr. to help with a mass of scar tissue. I like to use BBT also and opk's.

I use a fertility blend that I get at a local herbal store. I also make my husband take Ginseng everyday. I use a OPK kit and I sit propped up for 20 minutes as well.
What is the cups??

Well I am just about 18 weeks pregnant and the month that I got pregnant I took Geritol Tonic. I also stayed laying down all night after our home IUI's. Besides that I worked out up until ovulation and increased my water intake. Good luck!!!!!!

I did all the usual: laid up on a pillow for 20 minutes after, used preseed, took robitussin, also had dh drink coffee before (supposed to be good for his little men).

Instead cups are supposed to be used as an alternative to tampons/pads. However, a number of women have had success using it as a fertility aid. This website talks about the cups (and they sell them, too): http://thefertilityshop.com/catalo...
And this website explains how to use them for fertility purposes: http://www.fertilityplus.org/faq/h... And using an alternative to the usual feminine hygiene products isn't all that bad. You really don't spill the contents at all ( just an f.y.i.)

Wow, never heard of the cups. I just ordered preseed so hopefully it will be here in time for my O next week. This month we are going to BD doggie style ( I know tmi) since my uterus is tilted and this position may help the swimmers. I'm hoping to start Clomid next month.
