After your partner has released his sperm inside you, and without sitting or standing up so that you don’t lose any sperm, pick up the cup and turn it inside out so that it looks like an umbrella. In our data we see that the biggest effect of sperm cells swimming into the cervical mucus takes place within 20 minutes and after an hour there is not much benefit in keeping the cup in place when trying to conceive.When pulling on the stem to remove the FERTI·LILY cup, avoid using excessive force as it can be uncomfortable and the stem could break. It pushes the semen towards the cervix, cradling the sperm in the protective environment of the cervical mucus so more of the sperm cells survive, and more of them swim up into the uterus. The FERTI·LILY Conception Gel helps to increase the comfort and pleasure of intercourse without hurting sperm. This means that the base of the cup sits further away from the cervix (the opening of the uterus) and the sperm cells have a longer journey to the egg.

Gently insert the upturned cup until it reaches the top of your vaginal canal, hold the cup in place, at the same time gently pull on the stem to pop the cup back into its original shape.

Toxic shock syndrome is a very, very rare but serious infection that can occur from extended use of a menstrual cup (though more often associated with tampon use).
