Are you planning to/did you use an Instead Cup for your sway?

I have practiced using the Instead Cup to collect CM, and I find it uncomfortable and not very easy to use. How important is it in a boy sway? Is it possible that it can push the sperm away from the cervix if it isn't put in right?

Honestly, I wouldn't use it! I think, anything that messes too much with Mother Nature has the potential to kill sperm - I haven't seen any data about whether the material in them is sperm-safe or not. Plus, all the messing around, it just seems like it has potential to backfire, if it's put in wrong or if you spill half of it...jsut not worth it to me.

That's kind of my thought too. I just keep reading in sways that it was used to keep sperm up at the cervix. But can't I do that by propping my hips?

I'm wondering the same thing. If you are using it for natural sway, not TBM.

I agree--I'm not going to use it because I find it painful and hard to use. I plan to prop my hips...stand on my head if I have to, but I'm not wild about inserting anything that nature didn't intend to be inserted.

No TBM for me. Just natural sway. But lots of ladies have used them for a natural sway, just after intercourse.

I tried to use it but couldnt, i'll be propping my hips

Yes, I know and I was wondering the same thing, if it's not put in right, could it actually push the sperm away? I'm never sure is it on the right place.

I used them in my last attempt, they aren't very comfortable like they claim to be! Plus when i removed it a few hours later it had practically turned sideways somehow. I won't be using them again this try.
I'm doing it a little differently than you are, a home insemination. I left the syringe in last time for about 30 mins and not one drop came back out which i thought was great.

Yeah, it seems like it could do more damage than good, if you use it wrong. I just worry about leaving out a part of the sway that has brought so many others success, you know? I kind of feel like I should do everything I can!! But I would hate it if that one thing screwed everything else up, and since I can't seem to use it right, I think I will skip it, rather than risk it.
