the first and most common one is 'to relax'.....It's the worst thing to hear...cuz i am relaxed and the more i try to tell you i'm relaxed, the more i look like i'm not..... i don't need to relax, i need working sperm and working eggs and working hormones and then i need the perfect moment when it all comes together........and then there's the eat this and stay away from that, do this and lay here and put your arm there and hold your breath for 10 seconds while humming your favorite song.......
So what are the many things i've tried......
- I've temped and charted to see when i'm most likely to ovulate
- Used many OPK's
- I've bought poppa monkey boxers and got rid of any boxer briefs
- I've walked in on poppa monkey taking a very hot shower and turned it down, explaining that he's cooking up our future children
- I've lectured poppa monkey on the importance of not wearing PJ bottoms to bed (this one the Dr said doesn't matter -so he can wear PJ bottoms to bed now)
- I've made him take multi vitamins, fertility vitamins, etc.
- I've started to work out more, watch what i eat and try to eat organic
- i upp'd my fiber only to reduce it when i read it can make females not ovulate
- i've laid on my back for 30 mins after BD'ing
- I've suck my legs in the air to have gravity help the lil' swimmers closer to my cervix
- I've switched from skim milk to 1% after reading that regular dairy can help you get pregnant
- I've learned to 'relax' - no charting, temping, OPKn' anymore
There's more i've done, but i just can't remember it all now......but i think the funniest story has to go with this thing i tried.
So a friend had sent me this link http://www.conceptionkit.com so i checked it out and found out that it was VERY pricey....i then google'd around and had heard about these instead cups being used for the similar thing... Here's a video of how you use an instead cup and it also gives you an idea of how big they are.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2drNCv9ac1I
Yeah, so i bought those cuz they're way cheaper then $300 some dollars for the conception cups... so we BD and i unwrap a cup and shove it in there....i go about my evening but wanted to take it out before i went to bed so i didn't forget about it. So, i go to fish it out and well, there's a problem....my fingers can't reach it....yup, it's stuck in there, so i start to panic a little thinking about how embarrassing it would be to have to go the ER and explain to them that i'm trying to keep the lil' swimmers close to my cervix in hoping to get pregnant and now the cup is stuck in there. Well, i holla' at poppa monkey to help me out and the look on his face was priceless when i told him what happened and what i needed him to do...... boy, what a trooper he was, he helped me get it out and then i saw that all that stupid cup did was make a barrier between the lil' swimmers and my cervix......so they didn't even get NEAR the cervix!!!!! NEVER again!!!! but it made for a funny story!!
