We did a couple of things differently. I had been using a ClearBlue Fertility Monitor for a number of months, which indicates when you are likely to ovulate by displaying a low, high or peak, but REALLY made sure that we strumped away on the days LEADING UP to ovulation. I think in previous months I had a tendency to shout "action stations" just when I saw the peak sign, rather than before, when in actual fact this was probably not covering all bases!
Soooooooo, the main thing we did differently this time was...um....
.. strumping on the sofa in our bedroom with me lying facing backwards on the sofa with my head almost hanging off the sofa and my feet up in the air, with OH on top of me. When he ejected his, um, man liquid it seemed more powerful than normal and it helped that gravity was on our side. In fact, when people talk about keeping soup in the bowl, not a drop of soup came out of the bowl at all! It just shot up there and never came back! Another thing that we did this month was for me to experience an orgasm just after he had done his stuff. I'm convinced this might have been what helped propel his swimmers up to where they should be!
We carried out this new "technique" two or three times leading up to and around ovulation. I heartily recommend it!
