Hi All, On day 7 of 3rd cycle of clomid today so due to start testing for ovulation on Monday. Has anyone got any tips for me this month. I want to give it my best shot this month as don't think I can handle another  this time round. I know that they is a lot of activity currently going on in my right ovary and my reflexologist said that this is a good sign. We normally  every other or everyday until after ovulation.
Have read how alicatty did a shoulder stand for 30 minutes & got a  so I will be trying this, hopefully won't injure myself! 
Any other tips please.

Hey NB - put a good book and a bottle of water by the side of the bed before BMS (or whereever you do it!) that 30 minute shoulder stand got very boring!

been stocking up on baby books today and read that it takes approx 1 hour for the spermies to make their way through the cervix.

The shoulder stand thing may not have made a difference - but nothing else really changed this month - only had bms twice as well!

good luck!

Thanks will do anything is worth a try.

Hi

I've tried the waving my legs in the air most months...either that or putting a pillow under my bum...it just helps the little on their way in the right direction (beating gravity !!)....
However, you need to ensure that you're not tilted too much otherwise the sperm can just pool around the cervix & not be able to actually swim up....
Whatever you do, just make sure that you don't get up & walk around for at least 30mins after

Good luck & take care
Natasha

Natasha - Didn't know that you shouldn't get up for 30 mins. Longest I've stayed with legs in the air/pillow underbum/hanging off the bed with legs on the bed (!!!) is 20 minutes. I hope this hasn't hindered my chances!!!

Hi Kerry

Sorry, I meant that you just shouldn't really get up out of bed for at least 30mins after BMS...not that you should wave your legs in the air for at least 30mins !

It's just that if you get up/stand up straight after BMS then gravity dictates that what goes up, must come down

Take care
Natasha
