Hi all! :wave:

I am new to this website and fairly new at trying to concieve (been 3 months now). Just wondering if anyone had any tips on trying to fall?

Mayb this sounds silly but i heard laying down and hugging your knees straight after helps???????

I have never hugged my knees but i alway try and lay flat ... give the spermies a head start ;)

Thanx for that! I always lay flat too. lol. Did it take long for u to fall? ur buba is gorgeous!

Id say the hugging your knees thing is like how some people (me included) put your bottom up on a pillow or lay with your legs up against the wall in order to tilt your pelvis up, helping the spermies out with gravity!

Technically you dont need to do this, but it doesnt hurt!

i used the pillow under my bum this this cycle... as nicole said, you dont NEED to do it, but it cant hurt pushing the swimmers in the right direction! lol i also make sure i have clean undies waiting by my bed with a panty liner in them and after iv had my bum up for a while i try and stay lying down (with the undies on) for a few hours (generally we do it before we go to sleep at night)

:laughing: braydsmum I do the same! the 'ol knickers pre inserted with a pad in the bedside draw trick! :laughing: Not particularly attractive but hey!

That way no messes when turning over in the night! :o

Try buying some opk's to help predict ovulation. I believe that if the sperm and egg are healthy then it is only about timing the egg. Opk's(ovulation predictor kits) can be bought at any department store, chemist, or online. Online is cheaper. You pee on a stick and once you get a positive you will ovulate within 12 to 36 hours, this is when you should be very fertile. Or you can chart your temps. each morning. www.fertilityfriend.com is a good site. Pay attention to your cervical fluid, it will be clear and stretchy like egg whites when you are ovulating. This begins a couple days before O and can last a few days after O. Research herbal supplements for fertility and you will find some interesting things. Good luck and welcome to bub hub!
