Hi all it's been a min since I have posted. I recently read on another blog that some people are using the Soft Cups after BDing to hold the sperm closer to the cervix for 12 hours. Is any one using them? Has anyone had success? Today I just finished my 4th round of Clomid this time with an increased dosage (100mg).******** I'm ovulating, I'm using OPK's , prenatal's and preseed...I'm just trying to grab an edge.******* This gets so discouraging and stressful at times.
The 'good' sperm that is strong and would eventually (hopefully) implant an egg makes its way into the cervix pretty much immediately after ejaculation, which is why doctors say you don't even need to lie around with your hips up to keep sperm up against your cervix - the sperm you want is already on its way once you get up. Using a soft cup will only be holding the ejaculate filler and the sperm that would never make it anyways up in there, not really any point to that.
