It occurred to me, whilst doing a 20-minute headstand after SWI this afternoon (for gravity-assisted conception) Blush, then getting up and downing loads of nettle tea and red clover capsules, that this TTC thing has caused some strange behaviours....would love to hear about the weirdest things others have done in the baby-making quest! Don't be shy!

Whatever works for you, I suppose.

In my case it was industrial strength cocktails on an all-inclusive holiday.

Fucking he'll, Buggerlugs...huge mirrors would have the opposite effect for me...ultimate contraceptive!

Well we did use the mooncup after every shag this month. and I left it in all night and the following day. And now a BFP. But then I did get pg before without one!

We're allowed one course of IVF so we are going down that road at the moment, But the clinic only has on average a 16% chance of a bfp.

You stick it up your fanjo and it catches blood when you are menstruating. Then you wash it out and stick it back up there again. Eco-friendly alternative to tampons.

Buggerlugs we are waiting for ivf with donor sperm. Only get one cycle so I am manuka-royal jelly-zita west cd up to the eyeballs.

Shame, it's such a crap day when you get a BFN, nothing I can say to help but I really hope it's not too long before you get your BFP.

Made dh go for three (yep THREE) sperm tests even though he had had chemo at 16.

I'm a health professional so which part of chemo killing sperm cells did I not understand??

On the last one he could here the two women staff next door talking about the good offers on at the supermarket down the road.

Rose quartz under my pillow. Pillow under bum after sex for gravitys help. Currently 12 weeks pregnant!

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 25/10/2011 19:38

I like mooncups but for af only. I still maintain if a swimmer is destinied to get up there it will. Any that are likely to fall out won't be prevented by a mooncup/headstand etc.

Figaro82 · 25/10/2011 19:17

Hey Bugs, did you test again today??

KatAndKit · 25/10/2011 18:38

Oh bugs you know that a mooncup is not what you need! Not trying to start an argument with those who have used this method, but seriously, the sperm that can swim can get through the cervix by themselves. There is NO POINT in holding the duff ones and the semen in your vagina for hours. They either get through the gate sharpish or they don't make it. Most don't make it but this is why men produce gadzillions of the swimmers.

A mooncup might be handy for dealing with your period if you like the idea of it though.
