Any tricks?

My husband and I have been trying for a while now. I'm ovulating today, took the home test, and so I was wondering are there any things to do to increase our chances? I've heard of a pillow under your hips, I always stay down for at least an hour so his sperm doesn't come out.  Anything else? Any help would be appreciated!  :)

Thanks y'all,  we tried it all yesterday so let's hope for the best. We'll have sex again today night probably just to make sure. Is it normal with hokits to only have one positive day? I was positive yesterday but not today, I just have no idea if that's normal? Anyways let's hope it all of ours month to conceive!

Every other day from the day your period ends to tge end of your fertle window and a few days along with ovulation testing is what my obgyn recommended. Every day is too much the sperm need to replenish. So sex, rebuild, repeat. Been trying for 3 months. I'm with you...good luck.

You can take the sperm and place directly at opening of your cervix using a syringe. You can use a soft cup to help prevent it from coming out. Good luck I was ovulating last night and had sex last night and early in the morning. I know what your going through good luck.

The pillow under is correct I heard same thing as well. Also have intercourse everyday during your fertile days. Eat healthy and exercise also you can start taking prenatal vitamins as well. I have been trying for 2 years now so I am hoping to get that BFP this month. Good luck to you and your husband.
