TTC with Prolapse & Pessary

[sexysisam]

Hi,

My husband and I have been TTC for a few months, which really isn't long. I have a slight bladder and uterine prolapse and have been wearing a pessary around the clock - even during sex. Here is a picture of what mine looks like: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/ima...=3760901&s=hpc

Do I need to take it out when I'm fertile or will the sperm find their way? I'm worried that if I don't wear it that my cervix will be too low and that might impede the sperm that way. But I'm also worried if I leave it in that the sperm will be blocked out.

Any thoughts or suggestions.

I also bought some ovulation sticks from earlypregnancytest.com to use. Any help with that would also be welcome.

Thanks.

I had to Google pessary to see what it is and what it does. I'm not sure I can help you at all with that question, except to say that in my Googling I found one called a doughnut pessary that seems to be a more open ring. Is this perhaps a possibility for ttc?

As for the ovulation tests, I don't know what help you need with them exactly, but let me give it whirl.

1) Do you have regular cycles? About how long?
A low tech way of getting pregnant is to have intercourse every other day during the middle 2 weeks of your cycle if you have a regular cycle. Meaning you'd start on about cycle day 7 or 8 and continue through day 21.

2) Are you just using the ovulation predictor kits (OPKs) or are you tracking other symptoms of fertility (cervical fluid, temps, ovulation pain, etc.) If you aren't using other symptoms I'd encourage you to at least keep track of your clearest, wettest, stretchiest cervical fluid, as that is your most fertile.

3) Are you having trouble figuring out when your OPK is positive? Are you testing at the same time each day or more than once a day? If you can get some inexpensive OPK's, you can test more than once a day and have better luck at catching your LH surge. Once you get a +, you should ovulate either that day or within the next 1-3 days.

I have a fairly moderate prolapse and yet my cervix always goes high at ovulation. I have also conceived and carried to term with my prolapse and since that birth have conceived twice but m/c(nothing to do with the prolapse).

Personally I would not wear a pessary during intercourse or for that matter at night at all.
