Magical, I was thinking of doing it now, 2.5 hours after insemination. I've been lying down that whole time. My plan is to go pee, then rinse out the syringe with a little distilled wayer (and maybe add a little sperm friendly lube?) And squirt. Or are any sperm already dead bc of the fluid drying up for the most part?
I'm pretty sure I will O tomorrow, possibly sooner, so time is of the essence - in 2 days will be too late. I will try for another attempt tonight or tomorrow am but I'm worried his sperm count and volume will be badly affected. I'll still try though.

My Ovulation Chart currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP
TTC #1- swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!
Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic
Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

OPKs are still negative (getting lighter in fact!) and am now on my sixth day of a high reading. Pretty sure I'm not going to O anytime soon. :/ Oh well.
Maiden I would think the water would wash away the sperm but I guess it wouldn't hurt to try? Hopefully you inseminated with enough swimmers to conceive. I'll keep my fingers crossed you'll be able to get in at least one more attempt!'12

I didn't end up rinsing. I think you ladies are probably right about it washing sperm away. I really appreciate the input.
ksmom, I bet you'll see a positive and O in the next few days. But I know how frustrating it is when OPKs suggest O isn't yet imminent. I've had them fade out for a day or two before suddenly turning positive out of the blue, and I suspect that's what will happen this cycle to you.
My OPKs have been looking like they typically do 1-2 days before I get my positive...for 5 days in a row, with absolutely no progression. Every day exactly the same darkness. Very strange and stressful.

Thanks Maiden, I hope so! It *feels* like O is near because my left ovary is going crazy with all these painful twinges and my cervix went from MF to HSO. The night of our attempt on cd14 I had no fertile cm at all...it was more like how it is post-O so I don't know how sperm friendly it would have been. It went back to egg white yesterday. I'm trying to stick with E4D so if I don't get a pos. OPK or O by Thursday then we'll BD again. I just want to O already so I can get through the TWW sooner! lol It sounds like O is very close for you so FX it will happen soon. I hate when OPKs stay the same darkness! I've had that happen in many of my cycles and it drives me nuts. Would Clomid be causing that for you?

Sorry I haven't been in to post, we have had a couple of busy days catching up with family over Easter & celebrating dd3's 3rd birthday as well. I have posted a link to my chart below for those on tapatalk. Chart looks better if I leave it on advanced settings but if I change it to FAM & it changes my o day to cd20 my chart doesn't look as good. Either way my temp hasn't stayed high anyway. Think I'm out this month, no real symptoms except some uncomfortable cramping, but (sorry tmi) I have had some extra wind to get rid of too so maybe related to that. Did an ic hpt & a prognosis early mid ****** test & bfn.

Princess - I think your chart is looking good. FX for you.
Ksmom - Fx that you o soon.
Maiden - sounds like you are close to o as well. Hope you can get more swimmers in there & it leads to a bfp.
Magical - so glad AF finally came. HT certainly is expensive, I didn't realise just how much it may cost.
Pbn - So happy you didn't get any bad side effects from the clomid, keeping my fx it helps you get a bfp this cycle.

Maiden hope you get the extra insemination in and something is always better than nothing. Even if its so soon after his last release there may very well still be some viable swimmers and the more the better. Really hoping he makes this happen for you!
Ksmom really hope you get a strong pos over the next few days and get into the 2ww!
Princessmom even though its far to early to scrutinize your temps I say anything different or strange is great! Looking forward to watching your chart over the next week!
Farmgirl thank you! And its still early for a bfp and I found pregnisos hpts useless in my case! I was getting a nice line on my frer during my bfp cycle yet my pregnisos test done with same urine was so faint I would've been on the fence if I seen something or not! That was my experience with them although it may be different for othersstill think you oed either cd18 or 19
fx for testing over the next few days!
